It was imported into Spain so not sure if I could get that now. Chassis number will still be same right?

https://www.freecarcheck.co.uk/guides/ho...m-vin-for-free/ - scroll down and enter a ticket and they say they can give you the UK reg. no associated with the frame/chassis VIN

There's even a facility to attach a photo of the VIN plate.

They only ask for an email address so you are not disclosing the location of the bike to a bunch of thieves...

The 'electronic forks' as I understand them only consist of a variable damping orifice and that on only one fork leg. Your issue wouldn't be caused by that imo. I suspect that some structural repair has been made.

I hope that you get it sorted.

I´m gonna have to fork out even more money just to get BMW to check what is the actual issue. Meanwhile the seller is being a complete dick.

Legally in Spain I have 6 months to complain to him and he has to get it fixed. IN reality I am not quite sure how that works and he has already said to me that if it´s a few grand he is NOT paying.

can go the legal route but he also thinks it will take me too long and he might never pay up, plus he says he already has spent the money I gave him for the bike

The seller would say that !! Don't mean its right

Yes , it´s his best answer , maybe he´s a bit worried.

Luckily I have a lawyer mate who is going to knock up a letter to send him.

Bad news is he has just moved out of his house into a camper van so gotta find him first.

Resurrecting this thread. So the looseness was the double clamp rings after all.

Got a mate to have a look, and voila, problem fixed

Fu$$ing BMW and their suspension issue. Incredible.
