Warranty stuff » rust on frame

having bought my 2017 RS last July, to cover warranty it had to go in for a service. even if i had only added 1000 miles to the 4200 that was on the clock. while at Allan Jeffries i asked them to check my info button which was sticking & there opinion about some rust marks around the bolt holes. they took some photos & low & behold it goes in on wed for a new frameIMG_0667.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)[[File:IMG_0660.JPG|none|auto]

Good people at Jefferies.

hi, i got my bike back on sat morn, new main frame & all i had to put £128.29 contribution towards it but well pleased. thanks to all at Allan Jeffries for sorting it out . curiously apart from the plus vat part there was £4.17 for work on the dynamic ESA & £2.78 for work on keyless ride. these were only figures towards the final total.

right time , right dealer Allan Jeffries , riders come to them from miles around. bypassing other BMW dealers also low mileage

makes no sense...

no wonder these bikes cost so damn much......

That is amazing ! I suppose that given the location of the rest it is clearly not road damage , but still I've read plenty of stories about dealers quibbling 'washing technique' as a retort to customers pointing out corrosion . Thumbs up for Alan Jeffries

I agree - thumbs up to Allan Jeffries and I am happy that the OP is happy with the resolution - who wouldn't! But, that cost has to come from somewhere, and as already mentioned, the labour costs must have been horrendous.

With such a disparity between dealerships and markets, it makes you wonder what BMW Motorrad Corporate Policy is, and how it is implemented. I am sure that this would not have happened in any dealership over this side of the pond.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi I wondered if it would cause interest, the original vin number is put on new frame. i went for a shakedown ride tonight, crossing over from Huddesfield to Oldham next to Scammonden bridge . about 2 miles of narrow road a couple of little bridges & tight corners . the bike was well up for it . wish i was in Provence, great days last year

It is indeed astounding that a new frame would be fitted for the marks in the pictures above.

Madness in anyone’s world.

Where on earth has the frame been to look like that with so few miles?

5 years on and 27K miles I’d like a new frame please. Oh, can I have new panels too as I’ve got a couple of stone chips on the front

The risk of something not being correct is just too great....

Amazing that they did not offer to repaint those tiny areas!!!

well if they just did a small repaint, they would not have taken the bike apart?
