MY 2007 BMW F800ST MOTORCYCLE'S ENGINE IS CUTTING OUT WHILE THE BIKE IS IN MOTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 5MPH AND AS GREAT AS 60MPH. THE PROBLEM GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN DOWN SHIFTING OR COMPLETELY CLOSING THE THROTTLE AFTER THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS AT TEMPERATURE AND HAS BEEN RIDDEN AT HIGH THROTTLE SETTINGS. I GENERALLY BEGIN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AFTER RIDING BETWEEN 50-85 MILES. THEN MY ENGINE WILL STALL UNPREDICTABLY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME I RIDE THAT DAY. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN APPROACHING CORNERS, STOP SIGNS, OR ANYTIME SLOWING DOWN IS REQUIRED. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER 6 MONTHS NOW. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON OWNER'S FORUMS ONLINE AND A FEW PEOPLE HAVE CAPTURED THE OCCURRENCE ON VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. LINKS BELOW. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK AND OF THE FOUR BMW DEALERS I HAVE GONE TO, THEY ALL SAY THAT MY BIKE IS COMPLETELY FINE, IT HAS ALL THE LATEST UPDATES AND RECALLS AND THAT BMW HAS NOT PUT OUT ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEING A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS BMW F800S, ST AND GS BIKES FROM 2007-10, SINCE THEY ARE ALL BASICALLY THE SAME BIKE. PLEASE READ THE FORUM POSTS. THEY ARE THE SAME BASIC STORY OVER AND OVER. THESE BIKES ARE DANGEROUS. HTTP://F800RIDERS.ORG/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=34016 HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=INW6SCZWVH8&NR=1. *TR
BMW IS RECALLING 428 MY 2007 F800 S, F800 ST, R1200 R, K1200 S, K1200 R, K1200 R SPORT, AND K1200 GT MOTORCYCLES. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE COATING TO SEPARATE FROM THE INSIDE FACE OF THE STEERING DAMPER HOUSING. IF THIS HAPPENED, THE COATING COULD PARTIALLY CLOG THE OIL BORES WITHIN THE DAMPER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED, THE STEERING DAMPER COULD BECOME STIFF INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN DURING SEPTEMBER 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BMW AT 1-800-831-1117.
BMW IS RECALLING 1,980 MY 2007-2008 F800 S AND F800 ST MOTORCYCLES. DUE TO THE ROUTING OF THE FUEL TANK BREATHER HOSE, PRESSURE EQUALIZATION INSIDE THE FUEL TANK IS POSSIBLE ONLY TO A LIMITED EXTENT. CONSEQUENTLY, AT HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, THE FUEL TANK CAN DEFORM. IF THIS HAPPENED AT THE POINT WHERE THE FUEL TANK IS SHAPED TO PROVIDE CLEARANCE FOR THE REAR WHEEL, THEN, IN COMBINATION WITH A LARGE PAYLOAD, THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK COULD RUB AGAINST THE REAR WHEEL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A LEAK COULD DEVELOP IN THE TANK. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REROUTE THE FUEL TANK BREATHER HOSE. THE RECALL BEGAN DURING AUGUST 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BMW AT 1-800-331-1117.
