Throttle cable bell cranks/cams crack due to poor quality plastic material. This causes motorcycle to suddenly lose power as the hand throttle no longer works and engine returns to idle rpm. This is a serious safety hazard as failure can occur while entering traffic, turning thru traffic, or traveling on a high speed roadway with no area to pull off. These cracks, (and impending failure of the parts), were discovered by service personnel during service work.

Spontaneous development of a copious fuel leak after starting bike, subsequently found to be originating from fuel pump around high pressure fitting. Very dangerous scenario, as fuel drips close to hot engine. I asked around and apparently is not an uncommon issue. Hard to believe there has not been a recall on this. *tr

Fuel pump output flange cracked, resulting in fuel leaking down the side of the bike and onto hot components while riding. This issue has already been the subject of a bmw recall - but apparently the "inspect and reinforce" solution isn't really adequate long-term. This pump had been inspected and reinforced - and the flange still cracked and caused a dangerous fuel leak with the potential for bodily injury or worse. Attached picture. Top shows before ignition is switched on. Bottom is after ignition is on.
