BMW BMW MOTORCYCLE 1997 Safety Review #10141124
BMW BMW MOTORCYCLE 1997 car safety problem was reported on May 20, 2000.BMW BMW MOTORCYCLE 1997, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION . THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT WHICH DUPLICATES VOQ #101404137 MY 1997 BMW F650 MORTORCYCLE SLIPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT DID THIS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I BOUGHT IT USED FROM A PRIVATE CITIZEN AND TOOK IT TO FRANK'S BMW MOTORCYCLES IN ESSEX JCT VT FOR SERVICE. LESTER PELKEY (OWNER) SAID IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HE SAID IT DIDN'T DO IT FOR HIM. I CAN DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST, LET THE BIKE RUN IN 1ST UP TO A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, STOP, AND SOMETIMES IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL, AND SOMETIMES IT WAITS UNTIL I'VE STARTED UP AGAIN TO SLIP OUT (NOT GOOD IN A TURN!), AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS IN FIRST GEAR UNTIL I SHIFT INTO SECOND. IN ALL FAIRNESS, THE BIKE DOESN'T DO THIS FOR MOST PEOPLE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE WHEN WARM, BUT THAT'S NO GUARANTEE. I BELIEVED LESTER PELKEY AS I WAS A NEW RIDER. IN 2004 I BOUGHT A 1999 F650 - BASICALLY THE SAME BIKE). IT DOES NOT SLIP OUT OF GEAR. I'VE SPOKEN TO THE BME REP MARGE CHARNEY, I'VE SPOKEN TO 2ND WIND BMW (WHERE THE BIKE WAS ORIGINALLY BOUGHT BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER) AND OTHERS. NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING. BESIDES HAVING THE BIKE SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE IDLE OR IN A TURN, I CANNOT USE MY FOOT BRAKE AS I HAVE TO HOLD THE SHIFT LEVER DOWN WHEN I TAKE OFF TO ENSURE I DON'T SLIP OUT OF GEAR. THIS IS PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL. I HAVE TO DO A DANCE AND HAVE GREAT TIMING TO LET OUT THE CLUTCH, LET OFF THE HAND BRAKE AND ACCELERATE ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE TO THOSE I'VE SPOKEN TO ABOUT THIS SITUATION IS THAT TWO PARTS ARE BARELY WITHIN SPEC. AND BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE PARTS ARE IN MY BIKE, THEY DON'T ENGAGE PROPERLY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. AND, I DON'T FEEL I CAN SELL THE BIKE TO SOMEONE ELSE WHEN IT MAY CAUSE THEM A PROBLEM. THE DATE BELOW IS PUT IN BECAUSE YOU REQUIRE ONE - I DON'T RECALL THE EXACT DATE EXCEPT IT WAS IN MAY PRIOR TO MY WARRANTY RUNNING OUT. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY - ALMOST EVERY TIME I RIDE. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 17000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10166A5VX.
