Read complaints for BMW F800 GS (2009)
Experienced a failure of the charging system resulting in stalling the inability to restart the motorcycle. This failure happened in heavy traffic, leaving me stranded in the middle of a multilane highway in rush hour traffic. The bike started after jump starting, but a test with a multimeter showed no increase in system voltage with the engine running, resulting in no charge being applied to the battery, preventing the efi and ignition systems from functioning. In the week leading up to this incident i experienced intermittent surging, sputtering, and stalling, although it was not until the incident on the highway where i experienced a failure to start the bike. This failure left me stranded in dangerous traffic, requiring me to push the bike across multiple lanes of traffic and down the side of a highway to get assistance.
Riding home at night in traffic, my motorcycle stalled and died locking up all systems including lights. I found myself at a dead stop in traffic with no lights for visibility. It was quite dangerous.
Headlight reflector has burned causing diminished nighttime visibility. Oem style bulbs have been the only equipment used.
The gas tank is cracked on the right side of the bike. This is a known problem that is happening on many bmw f800's.
While cleaning the motorcycle yesterday, i noticed the fuel tank is breaking at its seam on both left and right sides of the tank. The crack in the tank is well over 12 inches on each side. I also noticed today that a number of people have experienced this in the past and even after having the fuel tank replaced, the cracks to the plastic develop once again. The cracks are linear and along the seam of the tank. My warranty expired approximately 2 months ago.
Rear wheel bearing in early stages of failure.noticed rough rotation during tire change.being repaired under warranty.
