Riding motorocycle down road, let off throttle. Digital throttle stuck at 2100 rpm almost causing me to run a stop sign and move into the path of oncoming traffic. This is not the first occuerence of this i even have video of this machine with the throttle stuck sitting in a drive way. Other bikes are seeing the same thing. Seems to happen when humidity gets high. Dealer can't fixit if they can't reproduce. Manaufacturer does not have any recording device to record what the onboard computer is seeing. Somebody is going to get hurt.*ak

2003 bmw r1200clc motorcycle-side view mirrors do not adjust out far enough to provide proper side and rear visibility. This could result in the rider not being able to see other vehicles and could be a contributing factor to an accident. *jb

The 2003 bmw r1200clc motorcycle is not equipped with functioning rear view mirrors.Two mirrors are provided, but they are located directly in front of the driver's hand grips. Therefore, these mirrors only show the rider's hands and forearms. When adjusted to the center position, both mirrors focus on the rider's stomach. When tilted as far inward as they will go, the right mirror shows the rider's left shoulder, and the left mirror shows his right. When tilted as far outward as they will go, each mirror shows the rider's nearest wrist and forearm. Thus, not only are these mirrors incapable of viewing the lane behind, they cannot be adjusted to view the adjacent lanes. This design defect results in a dangerous condition where the rider is chronically unaware of following traffic. I have never had another vehicle of any kind which was not equipped with a rear view mirror which provides a view to the rear, and i am willing to bet that a mirror in which the driver can look back is required equipment.Please advise bmw to rectify this before someone gets killed from behind.*ak
