The third rear drive failure on the my 2004/2003 1150 gsa motorcycle. The last one happened in october of this year. And june of this year the first time the final drive failed it happened in august in 2010 on my way home on interstate 90 in washington, this past june 2013 it happened in logan utah and this past friday october 4 it happened on interstate 10. I am lucky the bike and i managed to stay upright because the gear oil from the final drive was all over the rear tire. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you *tr

Two problems; 1. Abs intermittently works, and intermittently locks up front wheel on gravel roads, causing undesired wheel lockup....Very unsafe. 2. Abs brake assist servos (power brakes) intermittently fail to operate, causing unexpected loss of braking power, once assist servo power is lost the residual braking is approximately 20% of assisted braking, this causes heart stoppage while trying to not crash and/or hit other traffic.....Very unsafe when this happens. Bmw says, sorry bike is out of warranty, and they won't correct defects. This bike has been very well maintained and taken care of, it only has 13k miles on it and should not have such failures. If it was an isolated failure problem i wouldn't even bother with this complaint, however doing some research i find that in just my few days of searching and reading bmw riders postings that dozens and dozens of other similar bmw's have had the very same failures with zero support from bmw. *tr
