Need advice . Left me bike into Charles Hurst Motorrad Belfast to get the recall work done & when it came back the sprocket cover fell off on a track day. I'm thinking now what else haven't they tightened. They said they'd take it back & check it but how can you trust them
Bad recall work

assuming conrod bolt for recall
pretty sure the dealer could drive a bus through the argument really.
Bolts do come undone on motorcycles :
, particularly buzzy ones.
Would they have removed the cover , to do what they needed to do?

Yes they removed the cover to do they conrod bolts but if they were torque properly with torque seal on them they would't of came loose. I now have to go & get the whole bike checked cause it's not nice doing track days waiting for something else to fall of. Wish I hadn't got the recall work done
Just found out that Charles Hurst use the original bolts instead of the bolts supplied by BMW in the recall kit. BMW supply new bolts in the recall kit ( with torque seal on them ) 4 safety reasons which this dealer ignored. He put the recall bolts in2 his stock 2 sale on. Makes u think what else r the cunts up 2 & what others parts in the recall kits r they pocketin. Beware people this is a big safety issue

I'd go ape over this mate! I'd vent your anger at them,makesure you say something,and avoid them at all costs,if my local BMW dealer did this,they would never get a single £ off me again. Shame on them!skyfryer link=topic=1408.msg13448#msg13448 date=1347471609 said:
When I told Charles Hurst the sprocket cover had fell of they told me 2 bring t bike back but instead I phoned BMW & they sent an engineer out who checked t bolts & told me t problem. He's sending a full report 2 BMW. When I told Charles Hurst they sent t bolts 2 me same day by courier. I was told they don't keep them in stock so I take it they were the bolts from my recall kit. I'm now wonderimg what other 2nd hand bits have they used. I'll probally know when something else falls of ' hopefully not on a trackday. I'll let ye know what BMW does about it ' if anything
