Electrical System · at 51,867 miles · reported Apr 20, 2015
Most wires out of ignition switch, inside harness tubing, are exposed & the main wire broke. This resulted in complete vehicle stall during turns. No abrasions or signs of fatigue on outside harness cover. Very unsafe for a motorcycle to stall while cornering.
Suspension · at 4,000 miles · reported Dec 29, 2011
The contact owns a 2003 bmw f650 gs motorcycle. The contact stated that after driving over a road bump at 65 MPH, the rear suspension malfunctioned and caused damage to the rear wheel and an oil leak. The oil leak caused the engine to malfunction as well. The contact had vehicle towed to the dealer but the dealer refused to inspect the vehicle due to the destruction of the rear suspension. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 4,000.
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 27,500 miles · reported Jun 20, 2010
During normal riding on a vacation trip I stopped to refuel and gas was leaking on the ground. After removing the seat I found what is listed below. About one half gallon of gas leaked on the ground before I was able to use epoxy putty to stop the leak. A hairline crack in the fuel pump/filter assembly "cap" on top of the tank which allows fuel to leak out of the tank and pool under the seat creating a fire/explosion hazard. This is the same problem referred to in NHTSA campaign id number : 04v236000 regarding the cs model.
