Example complaints

Wheels: “The rear wheel bearing seized causing a catastrophic wheel separation from the pulley and belt drive. I was told by Bmw motorcycles of escondido, ca that the insides appeared to have welded together with the bearing and shaft rusting together. I was told that this had never been an issue with other bikes that they have seen. However, numerous online forums indicate that this is a widely known issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10424567, filed 2011-09, 29,100 miles

Fuel system: “My 2007 Bmw f800st motorcycle's engine is cutting out while the bike is in motion. I have experienced this at speeds as low as 5mph and as great as 60mph. The problem generally occurs when down shifting or completely closing the throttle after the engine temperature is at temperature and has been ridden at high throttle settings. I generally begin experiencing problems after riding between 50-85 miles. Then my engine will stall unpredictably for the remainder of the time I ride that day. This is particularly dangerous when approaching corners, stop signs, or anytime slowing down is required. …”

NHTSA complaint #10341367, filed 2010-07, 6,000 miles

Suspension: “During use last weekend I noticed the drive belt riding abnormally on the rear drive pulley. I disassembled the rear drive on the motorcycle today and found the bearings and rear wheel support shaft in need of complete replacement. Investigation on the web readily reveals dozens of threads on this subject, with results of failures including complete wheel lockup at highway speed. Simply do a search using Bmw f800 bearing failure and primary results encountered will be for the rear wheel bearings - several pages of them. …”

NHTSA complaint #10460089, filed 2012-05, 16,000 miles

Electrical system: “During commuting all lights off, no turn, no stop lights, the Bmw canbus switch off computer, speedometr, tachometr and ABS stop working. Battery supply/feed only engine, after few minutes engine stops. Burnt smoke and odor come from alternator.”
