I am a long-time motorcycle owner/rider (50 yrs) and have worked professionally as a motorcycle mechanic.Since new my 2015 bmw r1200 gs adventure's rear brake accumulates air bubbles in the system causing a "soft" rear brake pedal reducing braking performance. Every 1 to 2,000miles i have to bleed the rear brake fluid to remove the air bubbles and get the brake pedal and rear brake to operate normally again. I now have 38,000mi on the odometer and have had to perform this brake bleed procedure many times! This is unacceptable and a very dangerous condition! I have spoken to my local authorized bmw motorcycle dealer about this and they do not know about this condition and are guessing as to the cause. My opinion is that there is a defect in the brake system that is allowing air to enter the hydraulic system. I suspect the rear brake slave cylinder is defective from the factory.

Bmw motorcycle recall campaign 17v-438 - front fork. I received a recall notice from bmw in august 2017 and sent the motorcycle to the dealer to have the warranty/recall repair conducted. The motorcycle has been at morton's bmw in fredericksburg, va since 09 september and bmw has still not sent the dealer the repair parts. I sent bmw of north america a detailed email on 24 september and they have yet to respond and explain why they will not fix my motorcycle within a reasonable period of time.
