2018 BMW K1600B Other or unknown Problems

“I was traveling on my motorcycle in 6th gear when all of a sudden my check engine light came on and I had no throttle response. I had to do an emergency stop on the side of the road. This is extremely dangerous since I was in rush hour, I was very lucky I was able to get over to the shoulder safely with no throttle response.”

“On (first ever) ride home immediately after purchase I drove all highway and was horrified with a death wobble, especially in dirty air . Bike also pulls to left, especially over 40mph. Took back to dealer and manager and technician both rode bike and immediately put bike on a service rack and tried to find a problem. Manager described his ride as if you are riding on a grooved road . Unfortunately they found no obvious problem(s). They advised that I (and they also opened a case with Bmw) open a claim with Bmw, and I did. …”

“Side to side oscillation when riding the bike, worsened by increasing speed and especially when traveling behind or next to another vehicle. The larger the vehicle the worse the movement. This oscillation can occur to the extent that it causes the bike to move from the 8ntended line of travel.”

“The motorcycle is not stable at highway speeds. Motorcycle wobbles consistently like being buffeted by high winds or driving on grooved pavement. The instability flows through to the handlebars also. Can be very difficult to control. Dealership says they know of no issues, as well as Bmw. The motorcycle is not safe, but no one wants to admit there is a problem. This has now been consistent from the day I purchased and continues at 5,000 miles.”

“When I drive my motorcycle on the highway with 70 mph +/- 5 miles, the bike is unstable, the steering bar is shaking, and it is hard to keep the bike in the lane. I complained to the dealer, they balanced the wheel, tested the bike, but the problem has not been solved.”
