Took my '17 plate RS with about 14000 miles for its pre end of warranty inspection. They said that there was a ticking noise from both heads. Took it back in yesterday for them to investigate and they reckon that both heads need replacing, suggesting wear in cam shaft mountings |

Zitat von midlife crisis im Beitrag #2 Cotswold BMW offer such a thing - had mine with the 12k service just before the warranty expired. They agreed to replace the notchy, LH switchgear. |

Given that dealers make very little from bike sales and that they re-coup their expenses through the workshop I'm not surprised. |

Hmm. I wonder if 'pre-end-of-warranty inspections' offered by dealers are something that BMW head office is aware of?!! KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #8 I imagine it is encouraged - after all, they want you to do one of two things when the warranty runs out, either buy a new bike or spend £400+ on a warranty extension. One or two bikes might cost them a few quid but overall, it gets a customer into the dealership to open their wallet. |
Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #8 Well think so, got an official letter from BMW Motorrad Netherlands, inviting me to go to the dealer for a "end of warranty check". For me that check will be combined with the 40k km service next month, before I go down south to the Alps and Dolomites for two weeks! |

Zitat von Gaucho im Beitrag #13Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #8 I don't think BMW USA does this. I could take our bikes in but I would need to pay for the time it took to check the bike over. We have purchased 11 new BMW bikes and have never received a letter for a dealer or BMW to bring our bikes in when warranty was about up.
