Got to work riding on boring 40mph average speed limit road. Just as I parked up, the red flashing warning light came on.... thinking it may be gremlin, I then got off the bike and saw coolant leaking

Looks like you picked up a hole in the rad

That?s a bummer Amit. Hope you can get it home. Do you have BMW warranty or recovery service ?

I have recovery via BeMoto insurance.... but the last time I called them out for my off road bike, they pinned in down with ties so hard, I?m surprised the fork seals did not damage.... hoping for a mate with a trailer tomorrow.

Looks like a stone must have hit the rad. Do you have rad guards?

alex · Feb 24, 2020

If its under warranty then BMW will recover in their van

I have rad and oil guard fitted....

You can just about make it out on the video with all the daily commute crud buildup

.... did not extent the warranty this year .... doh..

Could have picked it up if I was in country, sorry mate.

Warranty would not cover rad damage so the money you saved will be needed for the fix.

It could just be a hose or clip that?s given up? Good luck hope it gets sorted.

Had to be worst case.... :-(

Stone chip to the rad...

So much for the rad guard.

How upsetting is that, whose rad guards did you have fitted? Could there be a claim against them?

That looks quite bad. New radiator on the cards :sour:

Actually rad looks like it's got it's own self made cover. I imagine the fan worked overtime!!!! :neglected:

soofsayer · Mar 1, 2020

Maybe the radiator decided to end things now and not carry on in hope that everything might one day get better?
