Another Chip Shortage Affects 2022 R1250RS and R1250R

The salesman called us Friday and told us he received a email from BMW that for awhile the RS and R will ship without ESA due to a chip shortage.

Yes, I was in my local dealer on Monday, kicking tyres whilst my bike had the annual MOT (government safety check). I have blagged a ride next month on the F900XR demo whilst feigning interest in a new bike just to pass the time chatting to Elliot whilst drinking their coffee and eating posh biscuits. I asked about delays due to the electronics shortages and Elliot mentioned the suspension factory flood as well. The F900XR has ESA (rear only) as an option.

Just heard from our salesman and the bikes were made this week and both show they have ESA.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #3 the third party assembly plant has been damaged in the floods so there has been no production for a period plus some stock may have been lost - he was not able to quantify the problem or how long the plant will be affected https://www.archyde.com/so-the-flood-hit...n-west-germany/ mentions the ZF plant that makes electronic valves "The factory in Ahrweiler produces valves for electronic damping systems with around 280 employees. In the past few years, ZF has invested heavily in the building and in new systems. Now the plant is devastated." https://autobala.com/germanys-zf-shock-a...-months/114892/ says it will take months to recover the plant to full production - the floods were last month.
