FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

	The oe part is made of plastic and according to internet search they are prone to breaking with age. mine began spilling fuel on the hot engine. i have ordered a metal replacement! this could be a serious problem since gasoline was also sprayed on my leg and boot and any ignition source could have set me and the cycle on fire.
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

	Failed of power brake assist, this is a known issue among forum members in numbers that would indicate that this issue is far more than an isolated issue in multiple forums for bmw motorcycles. dealers have not indicated any safety recalls or admit to any problems. this is an issue that the power assist brakes may fail at anytime or will activate at any time while using the brakes under non assist conditions and activating in the middle of a brake activation causing wheel lock up and no control of motorcycle. this resulted in a dump of motorcycle luckily at low speed and no real injury but it has happened at higher speed while anticipating a problem and was able to counter control bike to keep it up and other times the bike would have no brakes at all.
