[2002BMWlt888]

I have owned 2 BMW's 2002 LT with 42,000 miles(for sale on Criagslist) and 1996 RT. With all the problems from ABS pump, Slave seals, final drive I will never buy another BMW Motorcycle. You get no help from the Company, they knew about the final drive and ABS pump problems for years and nothing has been done. I do not abuse my bikes and do regular mantaince. I thought when I bought a BMW they would last for at 100,000 before I had to spend $4,000. I am have a new Kawasaki Connie ordered.


Good Luck with your BMW

Nice first post. :wack:

 

[Foiler]

I will give you $500 for that old POS. :bmw:

Well I for one am now convinced. I've only had one BMW, and only put about 35,000 miles on it, but you've shown me the light. I too am going to sell this reliable piece of crap for the price of scrap and move on. Dam it, I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more.
Oh, by the way, you need to leave now. :wave

You must feel so much better now.

Other then that how'd you like them

I had the same issue with my wifes BMW 530i. I had to change out the ABS module. I bought a brand new one online for $460. Do they sell the ABS modules separately from the pump for the bikes too or do you have to by the whole set?


No problems yet just preparing for the inevitable.

Hey, Ron - I think Denny listed it on the Lasning (as in his profile) craigslist; you might look for it there!! :histerica

Hey, Denny - just pulling your chain. Sorry you've had the course with BMW - seriously. When they're good, they're very, very good; butt when they're bad, they fill ya with frustration - granted.

Good luck with the new Connie. I understand there are some great folks on their forums also and I hope you find that true. Best always.

An oil thread, a tire thread, and NOW THIS... It is a banner day here on the board.

Seriously though, Denny, if you really had the ABS unit, clutch slave, and final drive all fail, then I don't blame you one bit. Hope you have better luck with your new bike.

OK, tell us how you really feel.

I am not mad at this site I am mad at BMW company! There are alot of good people on this site and I have learned alot from this site. But when a bike costs $20,000 new I think it should last. I did not know the ABS pump had problems until it went out and then I did some research and found several bikes with lower miles had the same problem. Just in the group that I ride in 3 final drives, 2 slave seals and 2 abs pumps and this is out of 10 riders. High numbers! Then when you try to get help from the company your a number and nothing happens.



Just my thoughts

 

[rattler50]

I had the slave and clutch fail and the FD failed twice. I bought another one....................but only after I totalled the first one............ :histerica

You have 9 other BMW 1200lt bikes/riders near you?
I hardly ever see one in the Rochester NY area.

I must say after I bought mine then found this site I got nervous reading all the post about probs.

I had to fix my speed sensor wire..that's it so far other then my cruise does not work and my wrist is really sore..hard throttle to say the least.
I rode my old voyager to the new owner and I kept giving it way to much gas after driving the beemer.

 

[pauleknight]

Lets see, a 10 year old bike and the OP has a complaint that the bike needs repairs?

I wonder how many miles the OP put in the bike?

what specific is wrong with the bike that needs repair?

I saw nothing in the original post that stated that the OP had anything wrong with his bike except for the one problem...


The way I see it, one problem in 10 years is not too bad..
