Noted a grinding feel in the motorcycle during a ride.returned home and found fluid leaking from the final drive onto the rear brake (which no longer worked) and the rear tire, which began to slip while cornering.the leak is a sign of a seal failure caused by the rear drive bearings self-destructing.these failures are common in bmws of this era, both my rs as well as the lt and rt models.bmw knows well this is a problem, and needs to be made to step up and do the repairs, which are not cheap.
Riding on freeway abs lights start flashing pull over and try to stop, no power assist brake lever hard and brakes would not stop. Found fluid was low on rear and later found abs unit to have leak. Contacted bmw was told because bike was out ofwarranty when told it was a safety issue not a warranty issue they were not interested.
