I am new to this forum, and was hoping someone could help me. I recently bought a 2013 model S1000RR overseas in Qatar. I paid for and was assured that the bike was fully loaded, including DTC. However following a lowside on the local track it has been established that there is no DTC on my bike.
The dealer is a nightmare to deal with, and seem to have accepted that the bike doesn't have DTC but should have. At the moment I am waiting on them getting back to me regarding what they are going to do about it (i.e. compensation). They are waiting on a response form BMW I believe.
One avenue that they are investigating is the possibility of fitting DTC to the standard bike. I have read some posts on the US forums that say that this is a very difficult job and should really be done when the bike is being built in the factory. Unfortunately the standard of workmanship out here is very poor.
I was wondering if anyone is aware of any cases where DTC has been fitted to a standard bike, and if it is a relatively simple job (given the low skilled technicians), i.e. should I trust my dealer to fit this themselves?
The most annoying part is that they are telling me that all 2013 S1000RR's now come with DTC as standard. All of the other 2013 models shipped out to Qatar at the same time as mine have DTC but for some reason I ended up with the black-sheep.
Any advice/ similar situation details would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
