BMW announced the sale of Husqvarna to KTM to dealers

Yes there was/is a sight listing final drive failures. I too have lost track of it. My point is more that BMW shaft drive owners and related associations have not effectively banded together and effectively used the tools such as the NHTSA recall process. Law suites will make money for my friends in the legal world. How effectively that would deal with the problem, in my mind anyway, is very much in doubt. For my time and money constructively learning, using and monitoring the various national systems like NHTSA, Transport Canada, VOSA and the EU would have done more to get some real action on the FD issue and perhaps even more importantly on going issues with motorcycles in general.

Until something like that happens I will stockpile parts and skills to repair my Roadster, consider bikes like Husqvarna's Nuda as its replacement and hope the manufacturing gawds don't pull the plug on the model I choose.

The site went away. It was not a very good site. Issues were self reported. That oilhead and big hole hexhead drives were mixed together. There were duplication entries. A not insignificant percentage of big hole drive "failures" was a leaky seal. Etc. Before the site went away there were about 250 reported "failures". That's 250 reported failures covering over 10 years of BMW motorrad output. Mika, your conspiracy of silence might be correct!
