like wow, no one comes here anymore. Just an update bmw wanted $707.00 for leaking pump replacement, happy to say I fixed the issue for $19.95. The hexheads are as most everyone knows by now --totally plagued with major issues- abs recurring pump failures, fuel pump failures, short clutch longevity,...

mogu83-- you have been EXCEEDINGLY LUCKY. From what i've seen not only of mine meticulously mAINTAINED BUT OF OTHERS with the r12's it's been a financial and mechanical disaster. I did make one great decision however - i passed on buying a Motus.... glad i did--they went under quickly if one follows...

wonders if anyone still comes to this site anymore... only thing different is everything continues to break on the highly unreliable r1200r.... poorest engineered bike i've ever owned... hands down. nothing else even comes close..

been tryin to sell it- gonna have to give it away no resale value whatsoever- 1 of bmw's lil dirty secrets on their bikes.

nothing but 60,000 miles of sheer trouble breakdowns on mine. bike hasnt ran 6 straight mths without a glitch despite fanatical maintenance. looking a gas tank - current rusted out - known design failure bmw na wouldnt even talk about it on the phone-- course the abs is out a 2nd time... and on an o...

ARE YOU SAYING YOU have 140,000 miles on an r1200r? what year model?

still here, have the 08 with 60,000 miles. Still unreliable as ever despite fanatical maintenance bike hasn't ran trouble free not 6 mths in the 11 yrs since i bot it. Gas tank rusted out 2 yrs ago- abs gone out 2nd time 4 yrs ago- 3 fuel pumps - & on & on-- truely a pos.

the answer to your clacking problem is quite simple- your rocker arms are beginning to get out of tolerances--end of story. just that simple.

wheel flange recall is -OFFICIAL. contacts to owners by bmw begin 3rd week of april.

get on the bike and ride.

the others will violently disagree with me but I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH. the resale value is virtually non existant. worse than a rice burner. you get 8k for your bike you'll be lucky. that's one of bmw's very dirty lil secrets-- horrible resale value, and in the last 3 yrs bmw has definitely suffe...

got a recall notice and in the same sentence bmw is quick to say they DO NOT HAVE THE NECESARY PUMPS IN INVENTORY but they are working on it. bout what I expect from bmw.

nice of bmw to step up and admit the problem. no wait, bmw didn't step up at all, seems the national safety board and perhaps the memory of that recent multi-million dolla out o court settlement has bmw thinking the govment wont tolerate sub-standard or unsafe manufacturing by bmw. you gota ask yers...

whats the deal mt-- bitter cuz you cant handle the truth?

lost your head and sold your 07? you actually made and execellant move.. what'd you miss? lets see-- fuel strip failures, final drive failures, battery upgrade suggestions, the widespread, rampant abs failure I predicted 2 yrs before it started,, and of course a few more bmw bugs that have by and la...

sent you a pm robert.

failed fuel strips nor salivating lawyers anywhere in the usa gets bmw's attention. but i am happy to say the illustrious magnificent premiere unparaelled bar none par execellance motorcycle company known as bmw did quietly agree to a multi million dolla out of court settlement bout 2 yrs ago.... i ...

yer prolly screwed to the max-- typically a non blinking solid brake failure light means --- pressure modualtor gone bad. now in bmw speak that means get yer 2,500 + ready. or if yer not of the bmw brain washed dead you can send the modulator off and have it rebuilt fer 3-5 hundred. course it wont b...

congrats-- you cant keep a good biker down....

many here have bmw diease. it 's primary sympthoms are the inability of the bmw owner to admit his bike has a part failure. the justification of a failure as --well nothing is perfect. in it's more severe forms bmw diease deludes the owner into thinking bmw is the most superior bike on planet earth....
