Howya,
Thanks for the join and the access to some important info. From Limerick in Ireland or Europe to ye brits lol. Just switched from a 2009 Big Bang (i still miss her voice).
Bought a 2019 racing red standard 20k miles (21k with staff/Tech use-testing lol) with 1 years manufacturer/dealer warranty, manufactured dec 2019 (2020 reg, only extras from bmw are; DDC, ABS Pro, Gear Shift Assist Pro, and the usual never seen rain, ridden by a 60 year old in spain etc from salesman) used from motorrad in Ireland, awesome machine, love it to bits.
Installed/Lip Stick/Warranty killers; Tecbike bellypan, Zero Gravity Corsair screen, SC Project CRT Slip on, TST Industries integrated turn signals and low mount fender eliminator with block off plate (modified to appease the garda/police), Tecspec tank grips, Motorrad tank pad, Motorrad TFT protector, Motorrad rad/oil cooler guard, EvoTech Axle, Frame protectors, Evotech Spools and bar ends, Lightech chain adjusters.
And now for the problems hahaha. When first bought had her for 3 weeks or so with minimal miles done as the weather was shite and i was ill, got a fault for engine control after prob 500 kilometres, back to shop and tech informed me it was the knock sensor which was replaced and bike returned (no replacement bike offered either, i don't drive 4 wheeled things), approx 20 kilometres into first ride same fault, sent back to the shop, same fault again, tech found that a wire was too close to the catalyst and it burned thus the knock sensor fault, valves were checked and adjusted prior to my purchase to my knowledge which means the rerouting of the loom was done incorrectly i would assume (BMW Techs probably take there holidays seeing a gen4 come in for work).
Have a note in for the ddc (2nd quarter of this year for new upgraded forks, no word yet), I'm getting the knock right through the top yoke to clip ons now which is horrendous, first time i felt it i thought the steering stem bearings were gone, it honestly feels like a high nelly now combined with the next point.
Now i have a creaking or cracking noise coming from either the swing arm or rear suspension. As in picking bike off side stand there is an audible creak, sit on the bike and bounce weight up and down on the saddle there is more audible noise, coming off a speed bump also produces this. Havent lifted the bike yet to see if there is movement in the swingarm but i presume swing arm bearings are toast.
Added to the suspension issues which may or not be connected im getting a lot of chain surge lower in the rpms in slow traffic which was not evident prior to the rear swingarm/suspension issue, the big thing that worries me is under an exhuberant pull i get a lot of pulsing through each clip on (i'm aware the s1000rr is buzzy like a gixxer, the mirrors are next to useless lol),it feels like when a dyson hoover is telling you its working too hard tbh. FYI i clean my chain more than myself:unconscious::unconscious::unconscious::unconscious:
Hows that for a hello
