I would NOT be a happy camper if I owned a 2014 RT!

Cease Riding ESA-Equipped 2014 RTs Now

BMW's Statement: "We regret to inform you that with immediate effect all 2014 R 1200 RT with Dynamic ESA must not be ridden. At this moment, we cannot guarantee that the plunger rod assembly for the rear suspension unit will not fail. Customers of affected machines will be contacted by their dealer immediately and asked not to ride their motorcycle. Whilst this is extremely disappointing for our customers their safety is BMW Motorrad's priority."

Wow...Will all owners who bought this new bike be given loaners at least while their bikes are in the shop or are they s.o.l.?

Have no idea what the ESA is.

Have no idea what the ESA is.

Electronic Suspension Adjustment

Ive got an idea: why not provide all BMW owners - who have to take their bikes back to the dealer - a loaner FJR? Just think how many would jump ship to leave Bring More Money behind...

And just when they got the final drive thing figured out.

Un F-ing believable! To think I was looking at one today at the BMW shop.

They can rent mine! Maybe I should set up a "rent to own" deal ... who knows how long it will take to fix that problem?

Some poor bastage who bought one and is on a cross country trip must be real pissed about now.
