| 1. first incident occured a approximately 5 minutes after the motorcycle had been parked outside the garage on level ground. the sidestand folded and the motorcycle fell over just a few feet from the nearest person that had a to jump away not to get hit by an 800+ lbs motorcycle. this incident produced damaged to the crashbar, fairing components and sidebag components. the motorcycle was parked in the exact same location and manner as i do park my other touring bikes without them falling over. the owner's manual was carefully studied and the procedure outlined to place the motorcycle on the sidestand was followed. the dealership is aware of the incident and bmw usa was notified in writing but have responded that there is nothing they will do about it. i have also performed a poll among other owners of the same type of bike and out of the close to 100 respondents app. 40% of them have had the same thing happening to them. 2nd incident happened while still on the bike and ready to park. sidestand was fully extended but gave away. this time the bike was caught before it hit the ground and a person. as a side note, bmw have had to construct a special side stand for their police version of the 1100 rt due to the fact that the side stands folds and the bike falls over. | |||
