What owners report
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH FUEL INDICATOR SHOWING FULL TANK OF GAS. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER DUE TO FUEL TANK RUNNING TO EMPTY ON ACCOUNT OF INCORRECT INDICATOR.
RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY (LEFT LANE) AT 65 MPH THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 1/4 TANK, THE COMPUTER SHOWED 50+ MILES OF GAS LEFT. THE ENGINE QUIT AND I HAD TO SLOWLY DRIFT ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. THE TANK WAS EMPTY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW 1200RT MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD CONSTANTLY DISPLAY ERRONEOUS FUEL READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FRACTURED FUEL PUMP WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000. KMJ
BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON AN OUT OF STATE TRIP. AFTER GETTING HOME AND DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSED BY FAULTY BRUSHES IN THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR ON THE ABS PUMP. READING MANY ONLINE MOTORCYCLE FORUMS THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE ON ALL BMW R SERIES MOTORCYCLES. *TR
FUEL GAUGE FAILED RESULTING IN RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WHEN AT SPEED ON A HIGHWAY, CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. BEING STALLED ON A MOTORCYCLE IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY - THIS IS THE 6TH REPLACEMENT FUEL STRIP ON THIS MOTORCYCLE. BMW CLAIMS THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM AND BLAMES US FUEL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR
