POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2022 S1000RR, M1000RR, and 2022-2023 S1000XR and S1000R motorcycles. The clutch cover bolts were not lubricated properly, which may cause the clutch cover to become loose and leak oil.
The bike surges at about 6,000 rpm. Have had it to dealer 5 times total and they canât find issue. Iâve offered to take bike to a dyno so I can reproduce issue. But Mark Pechko from Bmw North America wonât let dealers do that. Causes hand slipping on throttle. Attached is link to TikTok where I preform issue over and over in a safe manner and with in the law. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRToHTKV/
Bike was serviced at Bmw Temecula and the dealer found a valve keep on magnet plug. Engine was âcheckedâ to and all valve keepers were supposedly in place. So that means extra valve keeper was a manufacturer error. This could have locked up engine and killed me. Have asked for assistance from Bmw but have been shut down by them.
Took new bike to dealer. A âextraâ valve keeper was found in oil. Dealer tore engine apart and found all valve keeps in place. If the extra part in engine woulda cause engine to fail at Highway speeds dead coulda happened. Iâve called bam corporate and the case manager has not called me back. I canât get beyond âcustomer serviceâ
