Re: bmw r1100r motorcycle, 2001 model: exhaust weld failure where canister attaches to frame r/r rear subframe. 2nd failure occurred at 35950 miles. The same weld failure occurred previously and rear subframe was replaced.
The motorcylce mirrors did not hold position after less than two months of riding, especially in warmer temperatures.the dealer replaced the mirrors at n/c and indicated they would have to order in a bunch more because they expected to see more of the same.the mirror ball-joint and black plastic housing do not hold up to continuous vibration after heating up in the sun.i expect my replacement mirrors will fail within a matter of weeks, depending on summer heat.i sent an email to bmw and got a boiler-plate response to go through the dealer.this is a serious safety issue and design flaw.any vehicle, but especially a motorcycle, with malfunctioning visual systems is a tragedy waiting to happen.
