Thanks Shug. Bananaman - I'll wait for confirmation from a mod that this is allowed - then I will happily name & shame as I've given them every opportunity to address my complaints - but when the service manager confessed to being 'not familiar with chain & sprocket final drive', I should've...

Hi, Can somebody please let me know (in this thread or via PM) the best email to use to make a complaint direct to BMW UK - preferably an email for someone who's standard answer to complaints about 7 week waits for a simple mechanical fix, mechanical incompetence & basic maintenance not being...

Good to hear that worked out for you.

Cat's Eye?

Microfleece top or hoodie, jeans, skate shoes, shirt, 4x Ts, 4x base layer top, mini toiletries...& make your own call on how many socks & boxers you require. Lightweight waterproof trousers, spare gloves & waterproof Mountain Equipment pac jacket, all in a stuff-sac cargo netted on top. If I...

Kriega US20 tail pack & learn not to pack like a woman? ;) Good for atleast a week to 10-day trip.

Hi Johnboy, No, my brief was an arse and let me down so I ended up attending court on my own and just spoke to the duty solicitor. I would do the maths on how big an error would be required to get you back under 6 point speed - would half a seconds difference in timing bring you back under...

Had a similar situation of 94mph in a 60 - ultimately went to court intending to plead not guilty (long story short) said I'd plead guilty to 89mph...and walked away with 5 points. Seemed a little odd to me but I wasn't going to argue - there's a big difference between sitting on 8 points rather...

Another vote for Carlos at Carpimoto - had an issue with my rearsets but he replied quickly, sincerely, more than resolved my issue and I would not hesitate to use him again. Perfect customer service - if only BMW dealers were as friendly, efficient and as satisfying to deal with as this guy.

I had the rear bearing dust seal melt to the rear l/h wheel spacer after they replaced my spocket carrier etc BUT didn't bother using any grease on the rear assembly - this produced a pretty decent squeak from the rear wheel.

I think I was the first to report this issue (June 2012) on a May 2011 bike - had the cush rubbers replaced which didn't solve the issue (grabbed the sprocket and it still moved when I went to pick it up from the dealers and told them so), so the sprocket carrier was also replaced - the lateral...

/\ Thanks

Can you let me know what 'the man from Germany' said please - I have 750 miles on my replacement cush rubbers & sprocket carrier and the play has returned (clearly visible movement of the sprocket carrier over the left hand rear wheel spacer). My warranty is up in a couple of weeks and I'd like...

2400 miles is probably a 1000 miles more than most! I got about 1500 and I was trying to look after it - you could kill a K3 rear in a 1000miles on an S1K.

As above - has anyone got experience of both and can provide pros and cons/preference etc? Thanks
