I experienced three instances of the engine warning lights coming on and the engine losing power and throttle control. The motor continued to run but was restricted to a fast idle of approx. 2000rpm and no throttle. Speed was therefore restricted to 2000 rpm depending on what gear which was about 5-10 mph.. One event happened at slow speed and two were at highway speed of 55 mph all happening in a span of about 30 miles. I was fortunate to be on a rural highway with light traffic as there was no warning and no possibility to look for a safe pull off spot. Each time i was able to restart the motor and return to normal operation after shutting off the ignition for a short time and restarting, motor ran fine with warning lights. I was able to get it to a bmw repair facility and had the engine codes downloaded but they were not able to diagnose a cause. I was told to continue riding it and if it happens again to not start it but have it towed to the dealer. I feel this is a bit dangerous as if it was to happen in the center lane of a busy interstate the results could have been much worse. I have not been able to ride it since returning from the repair facility but the dealer put about 50 miles on it without it reoccurring. I don't feel real confident or safe as nothing was done to prevent it from happening again.

While the motorcycle was driven at a constant speed on the street, suddenly and without warning the engine problem light comes on the dashboard. The motorcycle then proceeds into "emergency operation mode" where the rpms immediately drop to 2000 rpms or lower causing immediate deceleration. On a motorcycle this is an extreme hazard in traffic, in a turn, or passing. This has happened separate times. Each time the motorcycle was brought into the bmw shop for repair of the problem. Each time the shop performed a software upgrade to the motorcycle computer. This repair did not fix the recurring problem.

I had less than 6000 miles on my bmw r1200gs adventure and noticed that i had no rear bake at all when i was riding off road with my "enduro pro" mode engaged. This allows me to use the rear brake in an off road mode and shuts down abs and traction control.. I noticed that a lot of other people are having the same issue with this motorcycle. See advrider.Com and search rear brake failure on bmw r1200gs. I took it to the dealer and they bled the brakes. They now work fine. It had been suggested by others that the brembo rear master cylinder is to blame. It allegedly allows air into the system.Some dealers have replaced this and it has solved the problem. The brake shoes were in good shape and were not replaced. I am asking that you look into this as failure of the rear brake could cause serious injury especially off road and going downhill. This is where the rear brake is very important. Very respectfully,

Rear reflector recall. The dealer will not install the mounting rack for the rear sides luggage or the luggage with my new bike. They are waiting on the fix before they will release these parts. Been waiting for months????
