Pedro Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Just so you know, such things don’t happen with a BMW, in fact, my bike will have a new shaft drive fitted for free later in October, as will all bikes (at least here) after a free inspection or if they’re over some mileage which mine is. I was going to take it out and probably replace anyway at 100.000 or 120.000km, so was happy they thought of me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Specs got a new engine from them and he only had pitted casings or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Anyway, I told him about the driveshaft thing they're doing, but was thinking there's someone else I forgot about. The thing about BMW is that (as will most brands, even more if Japanese) you need a nice dealership, and I think most dealerships here are good to their clients. My mechanic (who works as a consultant to a main dealer) told me to call them and ask, as soon as I told them about the mileage we just set a date for the replacement and that's it. My bike has had two things changed in warranty: the small reinforcement to the front forks stallions which is nothing more than a machined cap fitted to the top of the forks and would have never needed them, and the handlebar buttons where you change information on the left hand. That button would stick sometimes, and when I took it in they changed that and the one on the right hand too just because I hinted the warranty was running out. Cool people! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, he's saying you were foolish by driving it half a continent away to them since you stopped the leak before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering you must be a competent mechanic, you could probably take the pump off, file it, paint it, and put it back together better than they can in less time than it takes you to drive the bike there and back… and save the diesel money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
