DRIVING TO DEALER ON THIS MOTORCYCLE FOR SERVICE WHEN I NEEDED TO USE THE HORN IT MALFUNCTIONED DID NOT WORK PUT ME INTO A VERY DANGER SITUATION. I HAVE NOTICE ONLINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS I HAVE BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES FOR OVER 35 YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS AND NEVER HAD A HORN MALFUNCTION WHEN YOU USE IT CAN BE A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. *TR

A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WAS NOTED AT MODERATE VEHICLE SPEEDS, WITH A FREQUENCY SEEMING TO MATCH THE WHEEL ROTATION RATE. INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE REVEALED SIGNIFICANT PLAY (APPROXIMATELY 5 MM MEASURED AT THE WHEEL RIM) IN THE REAR WHEEL, INDICATIVE OF SOME TYPE OF BEARING FAILURE IN THE FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY. BMW DEALER MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THE PLAY WAS EXCESSIVE. MECHANIC PROCEEDED TO TEAR DOWN THE FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY, AND NOTED BEARING SEIZURE AND WEAR OF THE AXLE AGAINST THE BEARING INNER RACE. ENTIRE FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. I BELIEVE THERE IS NO WAY THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SHOULD OCCUR IN A PROPERLY DESIGNED ASSEMBLY, WITH A LARGE BALL BEARING IN AN OIL BATH, AT THE LOW VEHICLE MILES. ALL MANUFACTURER REQUIRED MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED AT THE PROPER INTERVALS. THIS FAILURE COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN A REAR WHEEL LOCKUP, WHICH COULD THEN RESULT IN A HIGH SPEED CRASH. *TR
