• Motorcycle front wheel separation investigation # PE09026

  This pe was opened after nhtsa received 3 voqs concerning alleged front axle separations on certain bmw f650 gs model motorcycles sold for use in the united states (the subject vehicles).Complaints involving motorcycles in non-us markets are not counted in this total.After gathering additional information about this subject, we are now aware of four confirmed incidents involving model year 2001-2003 subject vehicles.All four bikes were built before september, 2002.Of these, two involve my 2001 bikes and the other two, mys 2002 and 2003, respectively.The incidents occurred in 2002, 2003, and two in 2008.In each instance, the lug fractures are forced fractures rather than fatigue-related.Between october 1999 and september, 2002, bmw built approximately 4,300 subject vehicles.After september 12, 2002, all f650gss were built with reinforced lower fork tubes to reduce, according to bmw,"the possibility of any significant fracture that could occur at the fork leg axle lug area"during a crash.Bmw took this action because the subject vehicles are designed for off-road use where crashes (many minor) are common and did not want riders to have to deal with a broken fork as a result.Currently, there is no data conclusively establishing that the subject fork lugs are separating before an alleged crash occurs.Additionally, the infrequent, sporadic, and random nature of the failures fails to establish a defect trend currently exists.A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

Evidence of cracking to lower aluminum fork legs on bmw f650 gs motorcycle manufactured in 2000 with potential severe consequences if total failure occurs whilst motorcycle in use on public roads from propagation of cracks through normal use.(road vibrations etc) this vehicle has covered a total of approximately 22,000 miles since first registration and 12,000 miles of those have been under my ownership.

The front and rear brakes totally failed when the abs was used on a dirt road. Standing on the rear brake foot peddle and squeezing the front brake hand lever as hard as possible had no effect whatsoever. Just as if they werent even used. Seconds earlier the brakes worked perfectly. And after restarting the motorcycle they worked properly again. It is unbelievable to me that an abs system would be designed is a way that when it failed it rendered the brakes totally inoperable: the exact opposite of fail safe. In one case i nearly ran off a cliff at under ten miles per hour. Once i figured out what caused the problem i turned the abs off when riding on dirt. Not long after the last incident the abs quit working completely. The dealer told me the trouble code said the abs modulator had a stuck piston. I have not yet replaced the modulator figuring i was much safer without the abs.
