Does BMW know about this???

Are their bikes prone to narcolepsy?

I came across this after looking at another post...
http://www.cycleworld.com/article.as...article_id=735

The similarities are uncanny...





Is it just a side effect of the beautiful balance of the BMW boxer motor? And to think, all this time I just blamed Scott

Is it likely BMW does know about this "condition", but like FD failures, refuses to acknowledge there is any problem.
