Hello to all,
As owners of a first year production bike, we will be the beta testers for BMW.
Now I have said I would not buy a first year production anything, but here I am
having one.
I hope the launch delay is worthy of BMW solving the problems of a new bike,
but I doubt it. As with any vehicle there will be problems/recalls.
Feel free to list any issues you have had so the rest of us can be on the
look out for these problems.
I will start it off with what I have heard/read, but with no first hand experience yet.
Hard starting issue...........Fuel pump/cold start techniques
Transmission shifting/neutral.........Chain tension or break in time
Soft brake feel.........air in lines/bleed
Oil leaks...........loose oil filter
Mysterious high idle...........loose idle control screw
Nothing catastrophic yet.:smile2:
