“Failure of final drive (both u-joints, drive shaft, final drive bearings and gears), model selection does not include the my model. K1200lt, there are two listings for k1200gt. These are not the same bike.”
NHTSA complaint #10419264, filed 2011-08, 47,000 miles“(note: 2000 characters is too short!) 2007 Bmw k1200gt motorcycle 15,433 miles event date/place: august 4, 2011; riding home from work (24 miles). Primary defect: complete and sudden drive differential oil loss! (this endangered my life through possible sudden gear failure--hence, lost power to drive wheel; oil coated rear tire, oil saturated rear brake pads.) secondary defect: manufacturer provides no warning of this design flaw--neither at point of sale or in meager maintenance data. Expectation is this unit will exceed 100,000 miles with oil changes every 6,000 miles. …”
