VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT REFUSED, AT TIMES TO SHIFT UPWARDS TO HIGHER GEARS. USUALLY THIS OCCURED IN COLDER WEATHER AND AFTER BEING RIDDEN FOR SOME DISTANCE BEFORE A BRIEF PERIOD OF COOLING OCCURRED TRIGGERING THE PROBLEM. WARRANTEE REPLACEMENT WAS DENIED BECAUSE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY COULDN'T CAUSE IT TO HAPPEN AS I'VE DESCRIBED. CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER OWNERS CONVINCES ME THIS HAS BEEN COMMON AND LIKEWISE DENIED TO THESE OTHER OWNERS. MOMENTARY LOSS OF ATTENTION DURING A STICKING EPISODE COULD PROVE FATAL, AND I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT FRAN CRANE ANDREWS WHO DIED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN SALT LAKE CITY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH A PROBLEM CAUSING HER TO RUN OFF THE ROAD AND RECEIVE INJURIES LEADING TO HER DEATH. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT THE COST STATED ABOVE BUT BELIEVE REIMBURSEMENT IS WARRANTED. *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10554A5WZ.

BMW K1200RS 1998 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Report #10456109
BMW K1200RS 1998 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2010.BMW K1200RS 1998, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . (NOTE THAT THE INCIDENT DATE AND FAILURE MILEAGE REPORTED ARE APPROXIMATE.) WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE TWO ABS WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH PANEL FLASHED ALTERNATELY AS THEY NORMALLY DO UPON ENGINE START-UP, BUT DID NOT STOP FLASHING ONCE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS UNDERWAY AS THEY NORMALLY SHOULD DO, WHICH INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE MY MOTORCYCLE SERVICED, A TECHNICIAN RAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED ABS MODULATOR. I WAS QUOTED $2200 FOR A REPLACEMENT ABS MODULATOR AND ABOUT $2300 IN LABOR FOR THE REPAIR, TOGETHER TOTALING THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT VALUE OF THE MOTORCYCLE! VIA HARD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES I FOUND THAT I COULD LOCK EITHER THE FRONT OR BACK WHEEL, THUS CONFIRMING THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WAS INOPERATIVE. SINCE THE ONSET OF THE ABS FAILURE I'VE BEEN RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE BUT I'M MINDFUL THAT THE BRAKES NO LONGER HAVE THE ANTILOCK FUNCTION. SEVERAL BMW MOTORCYCLE-RELATED ONLINE FORUMS REPORT INSTANCES OF ABS MODULATOR FAILURES OCCURRING ON THE SAME MODEL AND ON DIFFERENT MODELS OF BMW MOTORCYCLES. I¿¿M FILING THIS REPORT BECAUSE APPARENTLY MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND BECAUSE THE COST TO THE OWNER OF REPAIRING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY-RELATED SYSTEM IS UNREASONABLE. *TR.Mileage was 52000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10554A4WZ. Bmw K1200rs 1998 problem was reported in TEMPE, AZ. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 30 mph.
