The Return of The Teutonic Oil Belcher!

No word from the dealer today......wondering if they've found anything else that needs replacing?

I'm quite happy for them to change the clutch if they want. Or the final drive. Or even the engine!

Can you hear that? The sound of Juan Jesus Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso,

working late as the shops delivery driver, falling asleep at the wheel, driving over the cliff, with the most perfect GS that ever was.

Things have changed......the bike won't be back for another week or so.

They've found a problem with the braking system......I think it's the ABS unit itself.

They told me it would be over a grand to replace if it wasn't under guarantee.

I'd like to have had it back obviously, but getting new shit for fuck all also has it's benefits!

So they sold you a bike with an oil leak and even worse faulty brakes ….

You need to look for another bike, I reckon that one's middle name is Jonah 😏

My last GS got a new engine at 15k miles because it was getting corroded. Finish on them not the best, and using dissimilar metals on the rear hub doesn’t help. 
I also got a new ‘beak’ as the original was delaminating, new switchgear, and a new exhaust because the ‘exup’ valve had seized. Warranty is great! They were going to pay for recoating the wheels, but I traded it in.
