The latest BMW theory is [...] dielectric grease [...] could corrode and cause electrical connection issues [...]

I thought that's the point of using dielectric grease. Was it applied improperly?

It was either improperly applied or some batches of the grease were defective.

Took my bike in today for the current BMW specified service for random limp mode events. The latest BMW theory is some of the dielectric grease/sealant used in the first couple of years of R1200LC production could corrode and cause electrical connection issues at the ECU. According to BMW, this really works....

is used now a synonym of omitted?

Usually that would be the customer's credit card.

I will have to say.............It was the same charge as for the ECU programming re-flash in May 2020............$0.

Now, whether or not $0 is equivalent to zero pounds, I do not know.

Could you drop one of your blue pills in the petrol tank? That might cure its limp mode

Why does a young guy, like you, speak of such things? Have we had some issues? Down there?

Seriously, it's good to hear from you. Kinda feared something bad had happened.

I tried one out of curiosity and nothing happened, I was told I had to think sexy thoughts,so I tried another one the next weekend..... Have you ever had a boner for eleven hours? I felt so sorry for Mrs Bravo as she had an aching jaw after an hour.
I'm not even gonna tell you about the side effects (but I will if you ask).

BOW BEFORE ME FOR I HOLD THE LICENCE THAT IS H.G.V!!!!!!!
