NHTSA Complaint #10779545 — 2009 BMW K1200LT

ABS MODULE FAILED WHILE THE BIKE WAS MOSTLY SITTING OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. WHEN I CONTACTED AN IDAHO COMPANY RUMORED TO REPAIR THE INTEGRAL ABS AKA IABS AKA ABS III MODULE, I LEARNED THEY HAVE OVER 100 CORES (BROKEN UNITS) ALREADY IN STOCK AWAITING THE POSSIBILITY THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION THEY MIGHT EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO REPAIR THESE. APPARENTLY, THESE HAVE FAILED NOTORIOUSLY SINCE ABOUT 7500 MILES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE SO FEW COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA ABOUT THEM. BMW DOES NOT SELL ANY REPAIR PARTS FOR THIS UNIT AND THE MSRP IS OVER $2500 JUST FOR THE PART. THEREFORE, THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF 853 LB. BIKES DESIGNED TO STOP WITH ABS BRAKES RUNNING WITHOUT THEM.
