BMW R1100 RT 2000 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2001.BMW R1100 RT 2000, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD . I HAD STARTED UP MOTORCYCLE TO TAKE OUT FOR A RIDE, IT WAS COLD, I HAD WALKED TO MY OFFICE AND PICKED UP HELMUT, LEATHERS AND CAME BACK THE MOTORCYLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE MANUFACURER STATES DO NOT RUN MOTORCYCLE IDLING, WITH THE SIDE STAND THERE IS AN ENGINE CUT OFF, WITH THE CENTER STAND IT WILL RUN. I DO NOT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE IN IDLING/ MOTORCYCLE STANDING STILL AND IDLING INCHING FORWARD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE I CAN SEE IS THAT THERE WAS NOT A SERIOUS INJURY BECAUSE I WAS NOT SITTING ON THE BIKE, AND THE DAMAGE WAS LIMITED BECAUSE I HAD A FIRE EXTQUISHER NEAR BY AND MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE FULL FUEL TANK EXPLODED. THIS TO ME IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I HAD A RIDER ON THE BACK OF THE MOTORCYCLE WITH ME, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF THE CYCLE.*AK.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB1048AOYXZ.

BMW R1100 RT 2000 car safety problem was reported on .BMW R1100 RT 2000, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE . THERE IS PROBLEM WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) WHICH CONTROLS THE FUEL, AIR, IGNITION MIXTURE AND TIMING ON THE BMW R1100RT MOTORCYCLE. THIS ISSUE CAUSESTHE ENGINE TO SURGE IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR WHEN THE ENGINE IS REVING BETWEEN 2500 AND 4000 RPM'S. THE ECU ALSO CAUSES INTERMITTENT ENGINE CYLINDER FIRING MISSES AND THE ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS CONSTITUTES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CORNERING AS A LOSS OF POWER DURING CORNERING CAUSES THE MOTORCYCLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO CRASHING ON TWO OR THREE OCCASSIONS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE BVW DEALERS INDICATE THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN ALL OF THE BMW R1100RT YEAR/MODELS..Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10418AXYZ.

BMW R1100 RT Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock

BMW R1100 RT 2000 Safety Review #10130449

BMW R1100 RT 2000 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2005.BMW R1100 RT 2000, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . I PURCHASED A USED 2000 BMW R 1100 RT MOTORCYCLE WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH ABS-2 BRAKES AND SOON THEREAFTER RECOGNIZED THERE WAS A FAULT WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. I FOLLOWED THE RESET PROCEDURE AND THE FAULT KEPT COMING BACK. TO MY AMAZEMENT I SOON FOUND OUT THROUGH TALKING TO OTHER BMW RIDERS AND INTERNET CLUBS AND GROUPS THAT ABS FAILURES ON BMW BIKES WAS COMMON PLACE. AS I INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM FURTHER I FOUND OUT THAT A NEW ABS CONTROL UNIT FROM BMW WAS IN THE RANGE OF $1500.00, ADD TO THAT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE A BMW CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACE THE FAULTY UNIT YOU ARE TALKING ALMOST $2000.00 WHICH IS WELL OVER 10% OF WHAT THE MOTORCYCLE COST NEW! TO MY THINKING THIS IS AN INHERENT AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IN MY OPINION THESE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FAULTS HAVE MORE TO DO WITH POOR ENGINEERING AND A LACK OF CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY ON THE PART OF BMW THAN THE RIDING APPLICATIONS OF THE BIKE OWNERS. I WROTE TO BMW TO TRY TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE BUT I GOT NOTHING BUT AN INDIGNANT RESPONSE WHICH DID LITTLE TO QUELL MY CONCERN AND IN FACT FURTHER INDICATED THEIR LACK OF CONCERN AND RESPONSIBILITY OVER THE ISSUE. *NM .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 20120 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10418A2YZ. Bmw R1100 Rt 2000 problem was reported in DOVER, NH. Vehicle was purchased on 20050610.
