What owners report
I have a 2014 R1200RT that is leaking fuel because of a warped fuel tank. VIN: [XXX] My dealer tells me that this was a problem on my years RT and that this can only be fixed by replacing the fuel tank. I was told that ethanol was probably the culprit in taking this tank down so quickly. I was also told that BMW redesigned the tank to alleviate the problem and that replacing the old tank with the redesigned one would take care of this. BMW Motorrad is not offering to replace this as the warranty is only for 3 years or 36,000 miles. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Motorcycle went into "limp mode" while riding.
I BOUGHT THIS NEW AND I HAVE ALWAYS SMELLED GAS ESPECILLY AFTER A FILL UP. I RECENTLY HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES VERY HARD WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND FUEL CAME OUT THROUGH THE GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH THE GAS CAP WAS PROPERLY SECURED.
