Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH HIGH ENGINE IDLE SPEED, UNRESPONSIVE DECELAERATION WHEN THE THROTTLE IS CLOSED AND ROUGH OR "BUCKING" AT CONSTANT CRUISING SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. I HAVE LEARNED FROM MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OWNERS OF THIS MODEL. REPAIR ATTEMPTS, AT OWNERS EXPENSE, HAVE PRODUCED INCONSISTENT SATISFACTORY RESULTS. OPERATION OF THE MOTORCYCLE IS UNSAFE. BMW SHOULD BE FORCED TO DEVELOP A SOLUTION AND A SUBSEQUESNT RECALL ISSUED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT COMPANY EXPENSE. *TR
