Hi all

I know some of you lot already know the saga of my 1200.

Went to BMW with looseness in the stalk. Was told there was no more adjustment available.

Leave BMW and it´s exactly the same as before. Go back to BMW who now say it could be the suspension.

Leave BMW and get 2nd , 3rd and 4th opinion....all say still looseness in header.

Go back to BMW and ask them how exactly the didn´´t pick it up when
1. I told them about it.
2 It was supposed to be a check up of the bike.
3 They suipposedly took the header apart but didn´t notice it.

They kind of scratched their heads and couldn´t answer that one.

Went back into BMW again yesterday. They now say it´s the bearings need changing. Not said anything about suspension yet.

Picking it up today. Will update shortly.

So I am probably prematurely celebrating and the bike will blow up tomorrow or something, but it seems that the bearing change has solved the issue.

So no more talk about possible suspension issues from BMW(although they are not trying to say the disks might be a tad looser than they should be)

They didn´t even charge me for it since they missed it the first time....BARGAIN!
