Defect summary	Vehicle description: motorcycles. A sheet metal plate mounted to the front of the frame below the instrument cluster can cause the wiring harness to be stretched too tight as the handlebars are turned fully to one side. In addition, the wiring harness is attached to another harness with a cable tie that is placed too far forward limiting the handlebar movement.
Consequence summary	The harness wires can be damaged or could break or pull out of the ignition switch. If the harness wires were damaged but not broken or disconnected, the electrical system could be affected while the motorcycle is being driven. Hesitation, misfiring, or "cutting out" could occur increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Corrective action	Dealers will relocate the wire tie connecting the two wiring harnesses to a point further back from the original location so that the ignition switch wiring harness has sufficient freedom of movement. Also if the wiring harness is found to be damaged, the ignition switch (with harness) will be replaced.
Recall notes	Owner notification is expected to begin by late february 1998. Owners who take their motorcycles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117, option #5. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
