What owners report
BOTH OF MY FRONT BRAKE CALIBERS ARE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. BRAKE FLUID LEAKED ALL OVER MY FRONT WHEEL. BMW REPLACED BOTH BRAKE CALIBERS AND MY FRONT ENGINE COVER WHICH WAS STAINED FROM THE LEAKING FLUID. THREE WEEKS LATER I NOTICED THE REPLACED FRONT BRAKE CALIBERS ARE AGAIN LEAKING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE BOTH REPLACED AGAIN FOR THE 2ND TIME. I OBSERVED OTHER BRAND NEW 2020 BMW MOTORCYCLES MODELS GS/GSA/RT AND S1000RR LOCATED ON THE SHOWROOM FLOOR OF THE DEALERSHIP ALL HAD LEAKING BRAKE CALIBERS WITH FLUID LEAKED ON THEIR FRONT RIMS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THESE BRAKE CALIBERS FROM THE FACTORY. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.
FRONT CALIPERS, LH AND RH SIDES, LEAKING FROM PISTONS AND CALIPER CASTING PARTING SURFACE. DEALER HAS REPLACED WITH LIKE NEW. REPLACEMENT UNITS LEAKAGE CONTINUES. WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AMONG THE R1250GS COMMUNITY GOING ON FOR MONTHS. EVEN UNSOLD BIKES ON DEALER FLOORS ARE FOUND LEAKING PRIOR TO SALE. DEALER THEN ARE UNABLE TO SELL UNTIL CORRECT
FRONT BRAKE OIL IS LEAKING TWICE. FIRST OLI LEAKING IS AT 600MILES, AND THEY CHANGED THE PARTS, AND YESTERDAY HAPPEND SAME AT 1384 MILES AND IT IS COMMON ISSUE WITH 2019 BMW GS, RT, MODELS . SO I WENT DEALER TO CHANGE ONLY PARTS.AND I FEEL DANGER WHEN I RIDE A MOTORCYCLE WITH FRONT BRAKE OIL LEAKING ISSUE, AND THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT RECALL ISSUE YET. IT IS LIFE MATTER !!
BRAKE CALIPER FAILURE ON FRONT END OF THIS MODEL. FIRST EVIDENCE WAS LEAKING FLUID FROM CALIPER ONTO WHEEL RIM WHILE PARKED. WAS TOLD BY BMW ROADSIDE SERVICE TO NOT RIDE IT SINCE THE BRAKE IS LEAKING. THEY PICKED IT UP ON 12/3/19 AND IT'S STILL AT CINCINNATI BMW AS OF TODAY WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM BMW. HEAD SERVICE ADVISORS FROM BOTH FALCONE BMW OF INDIANAPOLIS AND CINCINNATI BMW HAVE STATED BMW KNOWS ABOUT THE FAILURE AS THERE ARE SERVICE ADVISORIES ON THIS, THE GSA, AND THE RT. YET BMW CONTINUES TO LET THIS MODEL BE RIDDEN AND SOLD WITH A POTENTIAL LETHAL OUTCOME!!! THE MANUFACTURER OF THE BRAKES IS HAYES.
