I OWN A BMW MOTORCYLE K1200LTE WITH FAULTY BRAKES. EVERYTIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE THEY MAKE A LOUD SCREECHING NOSIE AND SOUND LIKE TWO PIECES OF BARE METAL PRESSING AGAINST EACH OTHER. BMW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A "NOTICE" TO THEIR DEALERS, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE HOWEVER THE BMW DEALER IN RALEIGH NC TOLD ME TO "GET THE BIKE GOING 100 MPH AND LOCK IT DOWN". I WAS TOLD TO DO THIS ABOUT "2-3 TIMES" AND IT WOULD "BURN THE GLAZE OFF THE BRAKES". I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS MOTORCYCLE IS NOT SAFE TO RIDE, HOWEVER, NEITHER THE DEALER NOR BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

BMW K1200LT 2002 car safety problem was reported on Mar 28, 2003.BMW K1200LT 2002, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with STRUCTURE . THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A BMW K1200LTS: IT IS TOP HEAVY AND WILL GET AWAY FROM THE OPERATOR AND ROLL OVER (STANDING STILL OR DURING A VERY SLOW MANEUVER): IN SHORT IF IT EXCEEDS ITS VIRTICAL BALANCE IT WILL FLOP OVER SLAMING THE OPERATOR ONTO THE PAVEMENT. *AK . I CALLED NORMAND BRODEUR, (MANAGER DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM, UNDER STATE OF MAINE, SECRETARY OF STATE, BUREAU OF MOTOR VEHICLES) AND ASKED HIM IF HE KNEW ABOUT THIS MOTORCYCLE AND HE TOLD ME HE'D OPERATED ONE AND THAT THEY ARE "TOP-HEAVY". HE KINDLY SENT ME A WORK BOOK THAT COMPLIMENTED ANOTHER BOOK I'D BOUGHT ON MY OWN TO CHECK MYSELF ON OPERATING TECHNIQUE (MOTORCYCLING EXCELLENCE AND HIS A WORKBOOK THAT GOES WITH IT, WITH A MOTORCYCLE SKILL TEST PRACTICE GUIDE ALL PUBLISHED BY THE MOTORCYCLE FOUNDATION). I PERFORMED THE SKILL TEST PRACTICE GUIDE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE OPERATIONS. OF COURSE I WAS MOVING BETWEEN 10 AND 20 MPH. POOR ENGINEERING: THE K1200LTS IS NOT ONLY TOP HEAVY, THE 'V' SHAPED HANDLE BARS, WHICH REACH BACK ABOUT 20 INCHES FROM THE STEERING POST, GIVE THE OPERATOR NO ABILITY TO APPLY FORCE WHICH WOULD HELP TO STABILIZE A SLOW MOVING OR STANDING BIKE WHEN IT STARTS GOING OFF BALANCE; IN FACT THE FRONT WHEEL, ONCE THE BIKE HAS REACHED A CERTAIN POINT IN THE FALL, TURNS DUE TO FRICTION WITH THE ROAD SURFACE AND LITERALLY RIPS THE HANDLE-GRIPS OUT OF THE OPERATORS HANDS. NOT ONLY THAT. THE FRONT WHEEL ALSO ROLLS--NO 'ZIPS' AS IF IT WERE ON ICE-- OUT FROM UNDER THE MOTORCYCLE MAKING THE OPERATOR'S TRIP TO THE PAVEMENT VERY ABRUPT AND POSSIBLY VERY INJURIOUS. . . CONCLUSION: BMW MANUFACTURED A K1200 (LTS) MODEL IN 2002 THAT IT KNEW WAS TOP HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO HANDLE AT LOW SPEEDS EVEN FOR AN EXPERIENCED OPERATOR.

BMW K1200LT 2002 car safety problem was reported on Oct 23, 2008.BMW K1200LT 2002, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BMW K1200LT. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE O-RING IN THE FUEL LINE QUICK-DISCONNECT COUPLING FAILED. AS A CONSEQUENCE, FUEL BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V028000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS); THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. SECONDLY, HE BELIEVES THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE REPAIR IS INSUFFICIENT BECAUSE IT ONLY REQUIRES THE TECHNICIANS TO ADJUST ALL CRIMP-TYPE HOSE CLAMPS OR A REPLACEMENT OF THE QUICK-DISCONNECT O-RING USING PLASTIC MATERIALS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,800..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 65800 miles.

BMW K1200LT 2002 Safety Review #10282941

BMW K1200LT 2002 car safety problem was reported on June 26, 2009.BMW K1200LT 2002, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE . THE REAR WHEEL DRIVE BEARING ON MY BMW K12LT MOTORCYCLE FAILED WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A ROAD SIDE PARK NEARBY. WE PULLED IN AND WATCHED THE OIL RUN OUT ON THE GROUND FROM THE DRIVE. WHILE TRYING TO GET THE BIKE ON A TRAILER, THE REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP. IF THAT HAD HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING, SINCE GOING INTO A SKID ON A MOTORCYCLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE COST TO HAVE THIS BEARING REPLACED WAS ALMOST $700. GOD WAS WATCHING OVER US AND KEPT US FROM HAVING ANY INJURIES FROM THIS FAILURE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM WITH THE K12LT'S. IT HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL OF BMW'S BIKES. AT EVERY BMW RALLY, ONE OR MORE PEOPLE HAVE THIS BEARING GO OUT EITHER GOING TO OR COMING FROM THE RALLY. BMW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CHOOSES TO IGNORE IT AND ACT LIKE IT DOESN'T EXIST. IN FACT, THEY CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE NEW MOTORCYCLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE THAN THEY ARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORCYCLE RIDING PUBLIC. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE BEARING FAILURE CAUSES THE REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHILE SOMEONE IS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. *TR.Mileage was 53000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10555A62Z. Bmw K1200lt 2002 problem was reported in WEATHERFORD, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

BMW K1200LT 2002 Safety Review #10283064

BMW K1200LT 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 28, 2009.BMW K1200LT 2002, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE . ON AUGUST 28TH, MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING TO EUREAKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS FOR OUR 40TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. ABOUT TEN MILES FROM OUR DESTINATION, THE REAR WHEEL DRIVE BEARINGS WENT OUT ON OUR BMW K12LT MOTORCYCLE FOR THE SECOND TIME. WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN A STEEP, WINDING, MOUNTAIN ROAD AND WERE EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT THE BACK WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP AND SEND US SKIDDING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. GOD WAS WATCHING OVER US AND BROUGHT US SAFELY INTO TOWN WHERE WE WERE THEN STRANDED. THE NEXT DAY, I FOUND A KIND MAN WITH A TRUCK AND TRAILER, WHO HAULED US TO BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS TO THE BMW DEALER. THEY REPAIRED THE BIKE IN ONLY THREE HOURS AND WERE WONDERFULLY KIND AND HELPFUL. SINCE THE BEARINGS HAD ONLY BEEN REPLACED 3000 MILES AND ONE MONTH BEFORE, THEY DIDN'T CHARGE US FOR THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE BMW HAS A ONE YEAR PARTS WARRANTY. THE LOCAL DEALERS ARE GREAT, BUT BMW IN UNCARING WITH REGARD TO THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORCYCLISTS WHO RIDE THEIR BIKES. THIS REAR WHEEL DRIVE BEARING IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING MOST OF THE BMW BIKES, BUT BMW HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE STILL BUILDING THE PROBLEM INTO THE NEW BIKES THEY ARE SELLING. THE FIRST QUESTION THE DEALER ASKED ME WHEN WE ARRIVED IN BENTONVILLE WITH THE BIKE WAS "IS THE BACK WHEEL LOCKED UP?" THAT IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING TO ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IF YOUR REAR WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE YOU ARE LEANING INTO A CURVE ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD, THERE WON'T BE ANY WAY TO AVOID A SKID AND CRASH. MY WIFE AND I COULD BOTH BE KILLED IF THIS HAPPENED. WE LOVE BMW BIKES AND WE LOVE RIDING. HOWEVER, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BMW SHOULD BE FORCED INTO CORRECTING THIS DEFICIENCY BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY. TO DATE, BMW IS PRETENDING THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT THERE IS A LARGE PROBLEM CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN ON THE INTERNET AND IN THE MAGAZINE ARTICLES. *TR.Mileage was 56000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10555A62Z. Bmw K1200lt 2002 problem was reported in WEATHERFORD, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
