Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #2 I've edited the link - some people don't seem to be able to post full links so mung them with spaces. Another quirk that remains unfixed due to Admin's long sabbatical. See the link to webbikeworld as the Facebook link goes to a private group...

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #6 depends first thing coming to mind is that the sales volume is lower and the second thing is VW made a deliberate ploy to cheat the system to mislead consumers about compliance. Lastly, VW were caught out by German authorities. BMW are self reporting what appears to be a problem in the supply chain. Whilst BMW are liable and might need to rectify non-compliant bikes, they will have recourse to the supplier who made sub-standard components.

I wonder if that is why, when I inquired with all of the BMW motorcycle dealers around the SF Bay Area, if they were interested in buying my RS for cash or placing it on consignment, that I received no replies to my request? I wonder if they had a heads up about this notice as much as a few weeks ago?

So: "Following a recent quality analysis, BMW is pursuing measures to further evaluate the material used in a component of its motorcycle evaporative system, which may not have been produced to material specifications."

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #11 I believe it's basically a charcoal canister that captures fumes evaporating from the fuel tank.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #6 This isn't remotely the same thing. VW engineers programmed in behavior that would limit power on diesels specifically when the car was on the test dyno. So, a given car might have been rated at 200hp but when they detected the steering wheel was completely straight with no variance and and engine/vehicle speed were at certain values, actual hp dropped and emissions got better. If this is just the evap system, it's far less involved.

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #11 Motorworks, a UK source of BMW spares, only stocks one charcoal filter, fitted to the 2018-2020 G310 and C400 https://www.motorworks.co.uk/activated-c...fua58335-1.html I would assume this is not otherwise used in Europe. We don't have the vapour recovery doobri on fuel pump nozzles required in the other place.
