2002 BMW K1200LT Brakes Problems

“Bmw K1200LT-c motorcycle: heard some grinding from final drive, then felt the vibration and about 10 miles later the rear wheel was wobbling uncontrollably. The final drive completely failed which damages the ABS speed sensor and had to be u-hauled as I was 900 miles from home at the time. My dealer replaced the final drive and ABS speed sensor free of charge as I was still covered under my extended warranty.”

“I own a Bmw motorcyle k1200lte with faulty brakes. Everytime the brakes are applied the they make a loud screeching nosie and sound like two pieces of bare metal pressing against each other. Bmw is aware of the problem and has issued a notice to their dealers, however, they have no parts to repair this problem. They claim it is not a safety issue however the Bmw dealer in raleigh nc told me to get the bike going 100 MPH and lock it down . I was told to do this about 2-3 times and it would burn the glaze off the brakes . …”
