What owners wrote
Hello. I purchased my BMW motorcycle new on 5/3/00 from BMW-ducatic of charlotte, nc . The rear end differential completely failed while enroute to the dealership to have this problem diagnoised. The dealership repaired the differential with a completely new unit from BMW as the motorcycle was under warranty at the time. Since this failure I have had zero problems since. However, and this is very important, had I not stopped at a rest area on interstate 85 while enroute to charlotte, nc I may not be alive today.
The final drive on the motorcycle failed. It was sudden, started with a vibration coming from the rear end, and the tire then had a slight "wobble". The fluid must have leaked onto the sensors on the rear brakes as the ABS light began to flash. I pulled the bike over and noticed fluid dripping from the final drive. I got the bike off of the freeway and had to trailer it home.
