THE BIKE TIPS OR VEERS TO THE RIGHT EVERYTIME IT IS RIDDEN. THE PROBLEM IS MORE APPARENT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35MPH AND IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE CROWN OF THE ROAD. EXTRA STEERING EFFORT IS REQUIRED ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS THE BIKE ALWAYS WANTS TO TIP INTO TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS COMPROMISES SAFETY OF BOTH THE RIDER AND THOSE AROUND SINCE DURING BRAKING (ESPECIALLY EMERGENCY BRAKING) THE BIKE MAY LOWSIDE (FALL TO THE SIDE).

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 BMW S 1000 Rr verdict →
