BMW K1200 S 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 06, 2009.BMW K1200 S 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . I OWN A 2008 BMW K1200S MOTORCYCLE. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE STALLS NEARLY EVERYTIME, AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY BMW DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHEN ANALYZED BY THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER, NO FAULTS ARE SHOWN. AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, MY DEALER HAS FINALLY TOLD ME THAT BMW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER YET. IN SPEAKING WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL MOTORCYCLE, NEARLY ALL OF THEM COMPLAIN OF THIS SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL MOTORCYCLE. IN MY OPINION, BMW SHOULD TREAT THIS AS THE URGENT ISSUE THAT IT IS, AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION BEFORE ANY OF THE OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ARE KILLED DUE TO THIS CHRONIC PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR.Mileage was 21784 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10591A68Z. Bmw K1200 S 2008 problem was reported in TEMECULA, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

BMW K1200 S 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 04, 2008.BMW K1200 S 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BMW K1200S IN OCT 2008. SINCE I BOUGHT IT HAS HAD A STALLING PROBLEM THAT MY DEALER CANNOT FIX AND BMW USA REFUSES TO ADDRESS. I HAVE ASK FOR THE MOTORCYCLE TO EITHER BE FIXED, REPLACED, OR REIMBURSE ME MY $19,000 CASH THAT I PAID FOR THE BIKE. THE MOTORCYCLE IS UNFIT FOR ROAD USE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT STALLS EXCESSIVELY AND I FEEL UNSAFE. IF YOU GOTO THE INTERNET AND PUNCH IN KEY WORDS BMW K1200S STALLING YOU'LL FIND 30 TO 40 PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH CASES EVEN BEING REPORTED OF PEOPLE GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL $19,000 MOTORCYCLE THAT I CANNOT RIDE. *TR.Mileage was 400 miles. Bmw K1200 S 2008 problem was reported in SUMMERVILLE, SC. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

BMW K1200 S 2008 Safety Review #10466683
BMW K1200 S 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 28, 2012.BMW K1200 S 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 30 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY MY BIKE SHUT OFF. I HAD CARS APPROACHING ME FROM THE REAR SO I DECIDED TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE TURN ONTO A SECONDARY ROAD. AFTER COASTING TO A STOP I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO START THE BIKE WITH NO SUCCESS. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS BUT I KNOW I HAD AT LEAST A HALF OF A TANK. I WENT AHEAD AND PUT MORE GAS IN THE TANK TO TOP IT OFF. AFTERWARDS IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED UP. THE NEXT DAY I WENT FOR ANOTHER RIDE AND THE BIKE STARTED TO PERFORM SLUGGISH. IT APPEAR THE BIKE WAS TRYING TO SHUT OFF. I SUDDENLY NOTICE THE FUEL GAUGE SPURTING UP AND DOWN FROM FULL TO EMPTY. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE BIKE SHUT OFF AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. I TRIED TO GO BACK TO THE GAS STATION BUT MY FUEL RANGE INDICATOR WAS EXCESSIVELY DECREASING. THE FUEL RANGE INDICATOR DROPPED FROM 167 MILES TO 120 WITHIN 200 METERS. THEN I NOTICED IT KEPT RUNNING EVEN AT A STOP. THIS BIKE IS SUPER DANGEROUS. IF I WASN'T CAREFUL I WOULD HAD DEFINITELY CRASHED. BMW NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL AND DEFINITELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR POST OUTLINING THE SAME ISSUES. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THEIR FUEL SENSOR OVER THREE TIMES ON NEW BIKES WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I URGE YOU TO PLEASE TAKE A STAND AND HELP US RIDERS RESOLVE THE SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2300 miles. Bmw K1200 S 2008 problem was reported in COLUMBIA, MD. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 30 mph.

THE BMW K-SERIES MOTORCYCLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH CRACKS IN THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING FOR THE R-SERIES BIKES (INVESTIGATION: PE 12-036 / INVESTIGATOR: [XXX]).
