Consumer Description

REGARDING BMW K1200R SPORT MOTORCYCLE. DEFECT PRESENT FROM NEW PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. OBVIOUS "JUTTER" IN CLUTCH LEVER. MECHANICAL NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION OBSERVED WHEN JUTTER IS NOTICED IN LEVER. OBVIOUS UNSAFE LAG FELT IN DRIVETRAIN. DEFECT BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO AND AT 6000 MILE SERVICE. DEALER VERIFIED JUTTER IN SYSTEM. DEALER STATED OTHER SIMILAR MODELS HAD COMPLAINT OF SUCH NATURE BUT WERE CORRECTED BY UPDATING CLUTCH PARTS. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE HAD THE UPDATED PARTS FACTORY INSTALLED FROM NEW AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER AS TO WHY JUTTER WAS OCCURRING. DEALER WAS TOLD TO TIGHTEN CAM CHAIN BY MANUFACTURER FOR SOLUTION. THIS DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. FAILURE STILL OCCURS FREQUENTLY. CONCERN: THE VEHICLE COULD BECOME UNSTABLE DURING SHIFTING AND CAUSE CRASH. CLUTCH SYSTEM FAILURE ALSO POSSIBLE. SAFETY ISSUE NOT APPROPRIATELY ANSWERED BY MANUFACTURER. *TR
