UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The bike surges at about 6,000 rpm. Have had it to dealer 5 times total and they can’t find issue. I’ve offered to take bike to a dyno so I can reproduce issue. But Mark Pechko from Bmw North America won’t let dealers do that. Causes hand slipping on throttle. Attached is link to TikTok where I preform issue over and over in a safe manner and with in the law. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRToHTKV/
Engine/Powertrain⚠️ High
ENGINE
Bike was serviced at Bmw Temecula and the dealer found a valve keep on magnet plug. Engine was “checked” to and all valve keepers were supposedly in place. So that means extra valve keeper was a manufacturer error. This could have locked up engine and killed me. Have asked for assistance from Bmw but have been shut down by them.
Engine/Powertrain🔵 Low
ENGINE
Took new bike to dealer. A “extra” valve keeper was found in oil. Dealer tore engine apart and found all valve keeps in place. If the extra part in engine woulda cause engine to fail at Highway speeds dead coulda happened. I’ve called bam corporate and the case manager has not called me back. I can’t get beyond “customer service”
