Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1. The motorcycles pulls to the left. Constant correction is stressful on highways and taxes one's muscles. 2. Engine has a ticking noise (valve chattering) at 3000-3500 RPM band (first noticed at 8000 miles) and dealer/manufacturer is unable to do anything about it. There are lots of k1600 on the road with this issue and Bmw has no resolution for this. 3. Shifting to neutral - first observed at approx 16000 miles (immediately after third service) - the motorcycle does not slot into 2nd and neutral gears with precision. …”
