LeDuke, as per post #4 on P1 and a chat I had with MrSmooth, it seems you don't need the spacer on the cush side... I'm sure MrS will confirm when he sees this.

it's on p2 of this thread, but cam chain tensioner risk of snapping at prolonged revs >10k. As you'd expect, there's quite a horrible list of knock-on effects listed in the notice which they read to me over the phone.

Just chased my dealer about what needs to happen. If it was a recall BMW would have covered collection. Because it's a tech enhancement I'd have to take it in or pay for the transport... a little annoying but it's only ?25. It's a small job apparently, takes less than an hour... It's the kind...

I think I managed to get into 4 figures, maybe about 1200... but I have to give my other bikes some attention and I probably did more on them - I'm 6"2 and the different seating position on Gen 4 was a little less comfortable vs others with my injuries. Just had what should be final op on my...

Ha ha, so much for we got our bikes about the same time then... mine just sat in the garage for 6 months after my accident, so... we started doing things with the bikes about the same time would be more accurate, lol

Did you have any outstanding items Wull, we got our bikes about the same time, so maybe they are close in build dates too... As per https://www.mdecoder.com/ mine was built 31/5/21, which was what made me check if the same issues Pedro reported were relevant to me. Still waiting on dealer...

So my bike needs the cam chain tensioner replaced, because there is a risk of it snapping at prolonged periods of revs >10k... so no track days until that's fixed...

I put in another bike reg and it came back with this, so the techinical enhancement doesn't seem to count as a safety issue...

In case it helps...

Yi may need to accept some cookies, else the menu doesn't appear. I chcked it on my phone and it was badly formatted. I've come onto my PC and I couldn't see the menu initially until I sorted the cookies

It asked me for my VIN number or registration I just put my registration in...

So i checked it and it does say there is an 'open technical enhancement' on my bike, code 001150000. So maybe if nothing came up for yours, you're ok...

Err, so after reading this I found the post that Stu started re clutch cover, where Pedro said he'd been told to stop riding his bike... I've not heard anything from BMW thus far, should i have? Unlikely to want/be able to ride the bike until spring, which is when it's annual service is due anyway

I got an excellent deal on my s1000r because they were changing that model couple of years back... but I bought in December

Cheers Ry that's... better than nothing I suppose :-). I've bought from them before on Black Friday but last week I checked this site and they didn't seem to be offering GB racing covers at all which I found strange... glad it's sorted itself...

Found the 22 GB Racing Black Friday deal... it's a ***** backpack.

I meant that he should have known that it had that kind of history from the v5.

Doesn't the V5 show the Cat N?

Maybe folks can post all the BF deals they see here? I've been waiting to see what Black Friday deals come up. Mostly I am hoping for a deal on GB Racing covers for a Gen 4, which I've seen in previous years. However this year BF and the NEC show are the same week, maybe that's why nothing has...

and the now defunct 1Jac raged to anyone that'd listen that they invented it and constands/bursig stole the idea from them...
