Very possibly but the service guy im dealing with doesnt seem to have a clue. I asked him if they could check a particular thing and he said thet could but it would mean splitting the engine. I said ok but thought it odd. 15 mins later he calls back and says, weve checked that and its fine...

Well according to Cannon BMW its a valve spring seat ( well part of one!) I asked them to contact BMW which they did and emailled a pic of the offending item. BMW suggested it could be a valve spring seat so Cannon ordered one in and offered the metal bit up and its the same radius, thickness...

So it seems GD! Would be even better if someone could actually identify it and fix it for me!

Bought on Dec 23rd and delivered to me 1 week of Jan. Ive authorised the dealer to investigate what actually happened and i shall be contacting the dealer i bought it from tomorrow. Coincidentally they told me they got the bike from the main dealer who has it now! Also, the service book was...

I got if from a small local dealer in Dec with 3 months 3000 mile warranty so thats a bummer! They got it from the dealer its with now as they had too much stock and apparently they use this dealer to shift older higher mileage bikes for them. Every service from new apart from one has been done...

No, but they did say they would if i wanted one. But its wouldnt really change the fact that the engine is poorly. Im gonna have to bite the bullet and get it sorted either way. But do i take it somewhere else with cheaper labour rates and hope they can fix it or leave it with them and see how...

Took my 2010 in for its 24k service today. Just had a call back from the dealer (Cannon Braintree) theyve had to stop the service as theyve found what they think is a spacer on the sump plug. They think its either from the clutch or gearbox. :-( Ive only had the bike since Dec and have only put...

Got a rather strange issue with my DTC/ABS on my 2010. On start up the lights for ABS and DTC illuminate as they should and once underway the yellow light goes out but the red light stays on. If i stop, switch off the bike then restart it both lights go out once im underway. Any ideas as to...

Well i took mine out today and initially the problem was still there but after about 20 miles it went away! So def not a warped disc thankfully.

How much is that going to cost? Ive been looking at the cost of discs and HPS do a pair of Brembo for ?230, genuine BMW discs which are Brembo anyway are that much each! Ive still not managed to properly look at mine but im going to borrow a dial gauge and check for runout.

Tell me about it! All the nice days weve had ive been on shift and on my days off there always seem to be other things that need to be done! I promised myself i would ride more this year, its not working out that way!

Try reading it again! I bought my 2010 model in January as in 2 months ago and have only ridden it twice since January!

Bought my 2010 in January with 24k on it. Rather embarrasingly ive only put about 150 miles on it since i got it. Must try harder!

Im wondering if possibly the disc buttons could be dirty or corroded? I did wash the bike before putting it in the shed the last time i used it. Perhaps there was moisture where the disc rotor attaches to the buttons and a few weeks of cold weather and a little bit of damp had caused some mild...

Took my bike out the other day for a quick spin. All was well for about 10-15 miles then i noticed a pulsing through the lever when braking, the dreaded warped disc! Ive only owned the bike since January and ive only done about 100 miles on it. Its a 2010 with ABS etc and has 24k miles on it...

Have you tried B&C Express?

I did see them as it goes, i got a carbon can from them for my 02 R1 a few years ago and was more than happy with it.

Im looking for a tail tidy for my 2010 but i dont really want to be cutting wires to fit one. Can anyone recommend a TT that i can fit without having to butcher the wiring please?

48 at the end of the month and ive been riding since i was 16. Hell, thats 32 years! Eeek!

So am i correct in assuming that the 2010 model with ABS would read speed from the ABS ring then? Im thinking of going up 1 or 2 on the rear but would rather have the speedo reading correctly. In the past on other bikes ive used a speedo healer.
