| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Purchased a new bmw k1200rs in august 2004, equipped with cruise control. the throttle is extremely stiff and while riding on local and/or back roads, the right hand becomes fatigued to the point of numbness. the right hand not only controls the throttle, but the integrated abs braking system of the unit. have spoken with selling dealer, tampa bmw @ 813-926-9937 and they advise that all of the throttles are that way if the unit is equipped with cruis control and there is nothing that can be done. the suggest that cruise control be disconnected. since the braking capacity is hindered by this situation, i feel that this is a safety hazard. other bmw owners that i have spoken with have same problem and are also blown off by the servicing dealer and bmw.*ak |
