Consumer Description

MY 2008 BMW K1200GT I HAVE OWNED SINCE NEW AND WITH ONLY 21,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER HAD ITS ABS PUMP FAIL. WHEN TOLD ABOUT THE ISSUE THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO CLEAR THE TROUBLE CODES AND THE BRAKE FAIL LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY BIKE HAS NO ABS WHICH IS A HUGE DEAL ON 2 WHEELS. JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND I HAD A DEER RUN OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON A ROAD IN UPSTATE NEW YORK DOING 55 MPH. THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO REGAIN TRACTION WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE DEER. BMW WANTS $2000.00 JUST FOR THE PUMP AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE SWAPPING THEM OUT! THIS IS ABSURD WITH A BIKE WITH ONLY 21, 000 MILES AND THERE ARE STORY'S OF A LOT OF OTHER K1200GT'S WITH THIS RIDICULOUS PROBLEM! *TR
