Regarding headlight warnings and horn malfunction and/or other possible electrical safety issues. (in addition to previous entry for brake a malfunction) On a few occasions (in addition to the mentioned intermittent brake malfunction) the motorcycle "low beam" headlight has stopped on occasion giving a dash warning and reset on it's own and "possible" ground fault or some other codes but BMW NA has been unwilling to have the dealer do any diagnostic work to adequately determine any potential safety issues. Within the last month one of the horns has quit working, possibly shorted out. Due to parts not being available the dealer cannot repair the motorcycle. They will not diagnose until parts are available and BMW NA does not seem to be willing to work with them to resolve the issue in a timely manner. BMW NA representatives only state in an email all they will do for now is "monitor" the situation. Communication has basically been not existent regarding the issues. I do not know if the motorcycle will leave me stranded or worse at this point due to these potentially serious electrical malfunctions. I don't know if the prior brake incident is related to this problem due to BMW NA and the dealer not giving me ANY information. BMW NA is apparently not willing to perform proper diagnostic procedure I feel the unit is unsafe to use.
