Example complaints

Fuel system: “Riding on the highway (left lane) at 65 MPH the fuel gauge showed slightly less than 1/4 tank, the computer showed 50+ miles of gas left. The engine quit and I had to slowly drift across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder. The tank was empty.”

NHTSA complaint #11030086, filed 2017-09, 98,000 miles

Brakes: “Brake failure light came on while on an out of state trip. After getting home and doing some research I have found this is a problem caused by faulty brushes in the electrical motor on the ABS pump. Reading many online motorcycle forums this appears to be a known issue on all Bmw r series motorcycles.”
