“The fuel pump flange cracked and fuel sprayed all over me covering the motorcycle and myself with gasoline. The motorcycle was in motion and I was not able to stop immediately.

The recall fix failed and is a safety issue.”

My biggest complaint is that the master caution flashes for 3/4 of a tank with the words fuel flashing on the instrument cluster telling me I'm out of gas. I am concerned that I will get so use to a flashing yellow triangle that I will ignore it.”
NHTSA complaint #10341946, filed 2010-07, 17,000 miles“Upon starting the motorcycle gas begin squirting out the right side of the gas tank - approximately 1 quart within a minute or two, covering my pant leg and floor.

NHTSA complaint #10568870, filed 2014-03, 875 miles“On october 3, 2009, while riding my 2007 Bmw r1200gs adventure, the engine stopped while I was driving in traffic on a state highway hear my home forcing me to pull off onto a very narrow shoulder (western nc, mountain roads) and stop with traffic passing me by at highway speeds approximately one foot from my left side. The motorcycle would not restart for several minutes. Eventually it did restart and I was able to drive approximately fifty yards before the engine again stopped. This allowed me to get to a wider section of shoulder where I was not at such great risk from traffic. …”
NHTSA complaint #10286298, filed 2009-10, 22,063 miles“New Bmw motorcycle, 2007 gs adv. Fuel gauge failed with in weeks. Repaired twice. 3 months out of warranty, failed again.
