    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So what do you get on a 30,000km service from BMW?

Seems odd to me that they didnt trailer your bike to the dealer versuz riding it. Thats just an insurance nightmare waiting to happen.
I have the s1000rr on my lust list. Is it as good as the writeups say it is?

He is insured on my bike through the dealer and I signed out the 1000rr.
the bike was fun but not for me. Hard seat but you can change that. It too one dimensional IMO.
and a ton of heat comes on to your left leg, didn't like that.:(
 
The funny part is that spark plugs on modern engines last damn near forever. I bet the old ones looked and worked as new.
Truth! My Yaris came with NGK Iridium's from the factory... 130K miles later and it's still firing away with no issues. Fuel Injection does wonders for plug life :rolleyes:
 
I have looked at several new BMW's but never got far enough to understand the warranty process. Was this a mandated service that had to be performed to maintain the warranty? Secondly, are you required to see the dealer for this work?

You have to have the scheduled maintenance done at or about the Kms stated by BMW. I have been told that I can do my own oil changes. Not sure about the rest like valve adjustment etc. I wouldn't have the tools or certainly the confidence to do that. It's a little different when your talking about a $2000 bike to a $20,000 one. I'm just not that interested in trying to save money with the risk of effing something up. Lol😊

That is what I surmised. Seems your taking some abuse but you really have no choice but to take it to the BMW dealership at least until the warranty is up. I would save a bit though where you could though.
