What owners report
I HAVE A 2007 K1200GT MOTORCYCLE, AN EARLY PRODUCTION MODEL, THAT HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SPEED CONTROL - THE ENGINE EXPECTEDLY REVS UP AND DOWN (HUNTS). I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND BMW NORTH AMERICA SERVICE BULLETIN 13 003 07 (058), WHICH DESCRIBES THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE BIKE. THE SERVICE BULLETIN WAS INTENDED FOR THESE EARLY PRODUCTION BIKES. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE ONLY SURFACED RELATIVELY RECENT ON MY BIKE, WHICH IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS ONLY 12,000 MILES ON THE BIKE AT THE TIME. I TOOK THE BIKE INTO THE SAN FRANCISCO BMW DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. THEN CONTACTED BMW NORTH AMERICA AND THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO FIX T
FUEL STRIP FAILURE FOR SECOND TIME AFTER BMW EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 12 YEARS AFTER ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LOW FUEL LIGHT REMAINS ON CONSTANTLY. COULD CAUSE A CRASH IF THE MOTORCYCLE WERE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL.
ABS FAILED. ON FREEWAY. NO WARNING. LESS THEN 36K MILES. THIS TURNS OUT IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH BMW.

FOR THE SECOND TIME THE ENING SHUT OFF COMPLETELY UNDER ACCELARATION. THE ELECTRONICS AND ENGINE WENT TOTALLY DEAD. HAD TO PULL OVER TO RESTART. THE BIKE WAS BEING SHIFTED FROM 1ST GEAR INTO SECOND WHEN IT DIED.
BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER ONLY 8000 MILES. MOTORCYCLE IS ADULT DRIVEN, LIGHTLY USED, REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND GARAGED. BMW CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS.
