Hi Guys, My bike is extremely low mileage,, so was looking to get the annual service, Motorrad Maidenhead and Welwyn quoting me over ?250+ vat on a simple oil and filter change with also a 3 week wait time. I loved the fact that I could service my previous bikes, but this BMW has the annual...

What was the fix? did your dealers tell you, or you replaced the batteries yourself

About ?230 not sure if that includes VAT is what I've been quoted for a oil, oil filter and brake fluid change. I did the entire service on my own on previous fireblades, and enjoyed working on my own bike which was great fun and assurity that the job was complete. There are no recalls on the...

Mine also popped up today. DWALO its a 2013 model.. According to the user manual it means the alarm battery is low. Has anyone got this resolved without going to the dealers?

is the shoe related to the issue of finding it frustrating to get the bike into neutral

Right the service was done in 2014 April - so a year service due last month. However bike has only covered 450 miles since the last service. I find it ridiculous that the bike needs another service. A little bit of computery trick should base the service indicator to be based on the mileage...

Rode it home today.. Stunning bike. Its many millions miles better than my old fireblade. Just curious about the service light being on despite not needing a service till another 5k miles

Fireblade was ?180, Hayabusa ?140, and now looking to insure the bmw which i collect tomorrow, its costing ?480. (all TpF&T prices)

Just put a deposit down on a 63 plate sport.. In matt grey. Finally did find one not been tracked and with extremely low mileage. Private is the way to go.. Unless you want a brand new bike.. Otherwise dealers are abusing the used market

Where can you test ride it for a day or half a day?

welwyn garden city motorad has a black one currently, on a 11 plate YD11 WVZ, not sure if it was anyone on this forums bike? it seemed very knackered and tracked, tyres were completely worn on the continentals. and had rear plate/indicators stuck on with black gaffa tape. Astounded why a BMW...

me too, its tough to find one, all the low mileage ones are sold out instantly

Also, just back from Welwyn garden city: SBW motorad , looked at this bike: http://www.bmwapprovedusedbikes.co.uk/bmwuk/aub/bike_details/0,,1260___,00.html?currentCh=_V0IxMDUwNzA3QlowNjk5MjA= Tyres were completely chewed, and rear plate and indicators being held by black gaffa tape. Defo been...
