Most Recent Complaints
WHILE RIDING ON I-95 THE TRANSMISSION (GEARBOX) ON MY MOTORCYCLE MADE A LOUD BANG (NOISE) AND THE REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP MOMENTARILY. I IMMEDIATELY ENGAGED THE CLUTCH AND WAS ABLE TO FREE-WHEEL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AT THIS POINT THE HIGHWAY IS THREE LANES AND I WAS JUST LUCKY NOT TO BE BOXED IN BY TRAFFIC AND COULD GET TO SAFETY WITHOUT CRASHING OR BEING RUN OVER. THE INTERNALS OF THE TRANSMISSION IS PARTIALLY DESTROYED AS PER THE BMW SERVICE CENTER AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION AT MY OWN COST. THIS INCIDENT IS VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID #: 10456593 AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE MILEAGE IS NOT HIGH FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS CALIBER AND IT POINTS TO A COMMON DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. THE 2003 MODEL HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AS PER NHTSA ID #:02V319000. *TR
