Bmw is conducting a recall (04v-028).An information request(ir)response was not received. Upon bmws receipt of the ir, and after discussions with odi, bmwdetermined that a recall was necessary. On certain motorcycles, the o-ring contained within the fuel line quick-disconnect coupling could become damaged.Further, there is also a problem involving crimp-type hose clamps, which can also result in a small fuel leak.Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, adjust all crimp-type hose clamps.Also all fuel line quick-disconnect couplings will be inspected.If a leak is detected, the quick-disconnect o-ring will be replaced.If damaged, the coupling will be replaced.Owner notification is expected to begin during february 2004.

While riding my motorcycle fuel starting spraying from a fuel line disconnect fitting. The male portion broke. I was stopped at a traffic light and noticed fuel just gushing out of one of the side panels and splashing on the exhaust. My entire tank (aprox 2 gallons) emptied in a matter of 1-2 minutes. This is the first time this has happened to me but from research on online forums www.Chromeheads.Com it is very common. This could have caused a major fire. The fuel was dripping directly onto my hot exhaust pipes, legs and boots. If the fuel had caught on fire it would have caused me serious injury. Bmw now sells metal quick connects. I think there should be a recall and all these plastic quick connects should be replaced with metal ones. *tr

I had the same failure as described in odi no. 10439549. The leak of oil caused the side of the tire to become fouled,and the brake was heavily coated as well. I stopped and had the motorcycle taken into the dealership, where a new set of brake pads were required, as well as the rear bearing and seals. *kb

An all too common problem with the final drives in our r1200c's and r1200cl's is the dreaded final drive failure. Most of us who have experienced this, first noticed either a lateral wobble of the rear wheel, drops of fluid on our rear wheels, and/or fluid stains sprayed radially on the rear tire. Well, i took a 600 mile jaunt last weekend to make sure the bike could handle the new touring bags and the t-bag i bought. The trip was great - near quincy, ca. When i got home, i noticed some oil spots on the right rear bag, the horror of horrors, radial stripes on the right side of the rear tire. I looked up under the final drive and what do i see? - yes, a big old drop of oil! Groan, and i'm leaving on saturday for sc. *kb

Traveling home on two lane divided highway at 55 mph. I had traveled 40 miles from my starting point prior to event. Heard a loud pop and air escaping from rear tire. The tire went flat and the motorcycle moved violently from side to side and flipped. I tried to control but the bike flipped me off and i sustained injuries. I talked with the repair shop and they found no holes in the tire although felt the valve stem failed due to rubber failure. This motorcycle is only two years old have others failed so early?

Bmw r1200clc motorcycle sufficiently misbalanced (i.E. Center of gravity).He right of center line, such that a right counter steer is continuously required to enable the bike to track straight; implying that the bike. *ak could not be reliably be ridden straight without falling over, on low traction surfaces such as greasy, or icy roads; as well as creating left arm rider fatigue over long distances, and inducing excessive left side front tire wear.
