Hi all,

I was a member on the older forum of 2016-17 and have just rejoined.
I have about a work week left of original 3yr-36K factory warranty on my 2016 lupin blue & white R1200RS. The bike only has 8800 miles.
It has been fantastic. No warranty claims whatsoever.
I did have the split rubber on my left footpeg. That's it.

I had gone through the manual in detail this past weekend and such things as keyless ignition, emergency key backup, cluster warning lights, programming display (BDC Pro), ESA preload and modes- everything works.
Has anyone gotten a turn signal auto-shutoff delay tweaked down under warranty? That's annoying. It takes too long to shutoff, and I am asking my dealer.
I wondered if anyone had suggestions for of what else I should or could check for that might be a lurking problem.

Welcome to the new site.
Since you only have 8,800 miles you probably have not had a valve check.
There has been a few cases of worn cam lobes so I would remove the valve covers and look at the cams.
Here's a thread so you can see what to look for.

Thanks for the fast response!
Good stuff. I'm wondering if I should schedule a belated 6000 mile service with the dealer right away and ask him to check the cam lobe wear.
Seems from the other threads referenced, not electing to have this service done, and DIY like I mostly do, caused some back and forth on a cam lobe wear claim.
I possibly could kill 2 birds ( service and warranty claim) in one shot.
