Owner report 10460566 · 2012-06-04 (June 4, 2012)
I WAS PREPARING TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE AIRBOX, A PROBLEM THAT BMW STILL REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR EVEN THOUGH BMW HAS UPDATED THE PART IN LATER MODEL YEARS, THAT WAS CAUSING ERRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE THROTTLE CONTROL WHICH MADE THE BIKE UNSAFE TO RIDE WHEN I NOTICED CRACKS IN THE FUEL TANK.
