THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED WHEN THE ABS WAS USED ON A DIRT ROAD. STANDING ON THE REAR BRAKE FOOT PEDDLE AND SQUEEZING THE FRONT BRAKE HAND LEVER AS HARD AS POSSIBLE HAD NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER. JUST AS IF THEY WERENT EVEN USED. SECONDS EARLIER THE BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY. AND AFTER RESTARTING THE MOTORCYCLE THEY WORKED PROPERLY AGAIN. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT AN ABS SYSTEM WOULD BE DESIGNED IS A WAY THAT WHEN IT FAILED IT RENDERED THE BRAKES TOTALLY INOPERABLE: THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF FAIL SAFE. IN ONE CASE I NEARLY RAN OFF A CLIFF AT UNDER TEN MILES PER HOUR. ONCE I FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM I TURNED THE ABS OFF WHEN RIDING ON DIRT. NOT LONG AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT T

MISHLER BMW OF BEAVER DAM, WI INSTALLED A NEW PAIR OF METZLER ME880 TIRES ON MY 2000 BMW K1200 LT MOTORCYCLE RIMS ON AUGUST,5 2005. I INSTALLED THESE RIMS ON AUGUST,6 2005 AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE APPOX. FIVE MILES. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY THE BIKE STARTED TO SLIDE OUT FROM UNDERNEATH ME, I PUT MY RIGHT LEG DOWN IN AN ATTEMPT TO SUPPORT THE BIKE. THIS RESULTED IN A FRACTURE TO MY ANKLE AND LOWER LEG. I BELIEVE THIS ACCIDENT WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE RELEASE AGENT USED TO UNMOLD THE TIRES DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS STILL ON THE TIRE. *JB
