BOTH OF MY FRONT BRAKE CALIBERS ARE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. BRAKE FLUID LEAKED ALL OVER MY FRONT WHEEL. BMW REPLACED BOTH BRAKE CALIBERS AND MY FRONT ENGINE COVER WHICH WAS STAINED FROM THE LEAKING FLUID. THREE WEEKS LATER I NOTICED THE REPLACED FRONT BRAKE CALIBERS ARE AGAIN LEAKING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE BOTH REPLACED AGAIN FOR THE 2ND TIME. I OBSERVED OTHER BRAND NEW 2020 BMW MOTORCYCLES MODELS GS/GSA/RT AND S1000RR LOCATED ON THE SHOWROOM FLOOR OF THE DEALERSHIP ALL HAD LEAKING BRAKE CALIBERS WITH FLUID LEAKED ON THEIR FRONT RIMS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THESE BRAKE CALIBERS FROM THE FACTORY. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.

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 2019 BMW R1250 GS Adventure verdict →
