A Forum Just For Dr ABS Brake?

[Steve B]

Anyone think Dr ABS Brake should have his (or her) own forum on brakes and the lack of them?

Yes On another site hopefully

There can't be many left that he hasn't tried.....

 

[Fanum]

Don't worry...he only comes around once a month to bump his thread up and then goes off off to do the rounds and bump identical threads all over the tinternet.....just ignore him and he'll go away until next month

I think the bloke is trying to help us servo ABSers. OK you may (obviously) think he goes on somewhat, but if you experienced complete serovo failure, as I have, then good luck to him. I tried contacting any BMW officialdom I could, their apathy was incredible. I still think someone will die sooner or later due to the crappy braking system.

YES!

And therefore I am scanning reports:

(1) http://www.bmw-bike-forum.info/k1200lt/viewtopic.php?p=25107#25107

"...Kosten: ~ 1200 Euro's plus Einbau (59 AW) plus sonstiges Material - wer es bezahlt, ist noch nicht geklärt (BMW oder Garantieverlängerung oder ich)..."

= 1200 Euros for the hydro unit plus costs for montage!

(2) http://www.boxer-forum.de/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=54814&mesg_id=54814&page=

"... Defekt der Steuereinheit attestiert ..."

= defect on hydro unit confirmed

"...Lieferengpass beim Ersatzteil, dauert noch mindestens bis Ende der Woche..."

= replacement parts are out of stock, you have to wait at least one week

"The brakes failed, both the abs and the servos."

This was a new K1200S motorbike!

(4) http://www.bmw-bike-forum.info/k1200s/viewtopic.php?t=6655

"Bei km 18 fiel das ABS aus, die hintere Bremse hatte fast keine Wirkung,die Vorderadbremse funktionierte! Bei km 85 fiel zeitweise die km Zählung aus, bei km 95 zeitweise der Tacho , bei km 137 zeigte plötzlich die Vorderradbremse fast keine Wirkung - ich hatte nur Glück dass ich beim Ausrollen war. Das rote ABS Warnsignal blinkt schnell."

= (K1200S), failing rear brake after 18 km, failing front brake after 137 km

In the same thread you'll find an other report about brake failure on BMW K1200S motorbike.

Anyway – most of you think ABS/brake failures are not worth to mention. But most of you might agree to mention about the costs of 1200 Euros for the hydro unit plus costs for montage!

That's a hard hit!

Dr.
