What owners report
THIS DEFECT EXISTS IN MODEL YEAR 1996 BMW R100RT MOTORCYCLES. SPECIFICALLY, THE THROTTLE CABLE IS KNOWN TO FRAY AND HANG OPEN, CAUSING THE RIDER TO BE UNABLE TO CLOSE THE THROTTLE AND STOP THE MOTORCYCLE FROM ACCELERATING. I RECENTLY WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE THROTTLE HUNG IN THE FULL-OPEN POSITION. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF THE MOTORCYCLE BY USING THE KILL-SWITCH AND COAST TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD I BEEN ON ANY OTHER TYPE OF ROAD, ESPECIALLY A MOUNTAINOUS ROAD WITH CURVES, I COULD EASILY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND CRASHED. AFTER MY DEALER REPLACED THE CABLE (AT A COST OF $200), I LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. AMAZI
