Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The brake failure light lit up and I lost power brakes and even at 10 MPH it was extremely difficult to stop the bike. The module controls the servo linkage also. This is a know problem with Bmw k bikes with ABS and Bmw refuses to recall the bikes. I believe it is a serious safety problem and riders cannot get any help from Bmw. It is a 2500 dollar repair and it happens to many bikes at around 20,000 miles. No warning. We need help with putting some pressure on Bmw. If you want verification call any Bmw motorcycle dealer. There are lots of posts on I-Bmw forums as well. …”
