Consumer Description

I AM WRITING YOU TO PLEASE URGE INVESTIGATION OF ALL BMW F800S AND F800ST MOTORCYCLES. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING A PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2007 F800S FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JUNE OF 2009. SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE, MY REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED CAUSING A SEVERE WOBBLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BEARING AND ECCENTRIC AXLE WHICH THEY SAY WAS "IMPROVED" WITH A HARDER STEEL IN THE AXLE. FAST FORWARD JUST OVER A YEAR LATER (12/2/10) MY REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME EXACT DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DESIGN SINCE MY LAST TIME THERE. THERE ARE COUNTLESS OF DOCUMENTS THAT SHOW THESE ARE FAILING FOR RIDERS ALL AROUND THE U.S. WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES AND BMW CLEARLY STATES THAT IT IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW ON THEIR PART AND HAS BEEN REFUSING ANY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM TO ITS OWNERS. PLEASE HELP. *TR
