Read complaints for BMW R 1200 GS (2006)
The contact owns a 2006 bmw r-1200 gs. The contact stated that upon start of the motorcycle, he noticed that fuel began to spew out of his motorcycle. The contact called wagner motorsports (700 plantation st, worcester, ma 01605) where he was informed that he would have to bring in the motorcycle for inspection. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and they informed him to take the motorcycle to a dealer to be serviced. Upon investigation, the contact discovered nhtsa campaign number: 13v617000 (fuel system, gasoline) which he linked to his failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer notified the contact whether his motorcycle was included in the recall. The vin tool showed that the motorcycle was not included in the recall. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 22,000.
With turning on the key, fuel leaked out of the left side of the motorcycle. The leak comes from the fuel line attachment to the fuel pump mount on the left side of the fuel tank. The fuel sprays out of the plastic fuel pump mount when the key is turned on. The plastic connection in the fuel line has cracked. This seems very dangerous.
After stopping at local gas station to fill up with gas as per normal, noticed gas smell, but could not detect any visible leak. Rode for a short distance, returned home. After stopping engine and dismounting, noticed my left pant-leg was soaked in gasoline. After removing side [left] panel was able to see visible fuel leak (more of a spray). Leak only occurred when fuel pump was operating. Source of leak was the female connector of the fuel line.
The rear wheel assembly/swingarm is described by bmw as "maintenance free," meaning that the oil level in the rear swing-arm cannot be checked or refilled.my motorcycle has developed an oil leak from said assembly, and has been slowly leaking for the last 10,000+ miles.if the oil level drops low enough, i fear the rear wheel could lock while riding, resulting in a crash.
