| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The bmw "cruiser" family of motorcycles exhibits a large proportion of units that have a "pull to the right" issue, in varying degrees. this is extremly dangerous on a two wheeled vehicle. a review of web sites that support these vehicles all report the same issue occuring. to date, bmw has not done anything about the issue. i am contacting you as bmw has discontinued the model this year and i feel that no fix will be forthcoming. owners have done various quick fixes, but none have been certified by bmw. currently my bike with 6,000 miles is showing premature tire wear indicative of a "pttr" (pull to the right) issue. this pttr also has been reported to cause fatigue among some riders, all which could result in accident/injuries. refer to www.chromeheads.org for board discussion of the pttr issue among owners. thank you, r karlstad. *ak |
