Morning all
Went to fill up the bike for the first time after 280 blissful miles and...fuel filler cap refused to budge. After trying both the short and long process (as detailed in the handbook) multiple times I gave it up as a bad job and called BMW.
The tech I spoke to obviously thought I was a numpty (hardly blame him) and talked me through the process over the phone but all this did was prove it was not user error.
Luckily there was enough fuel to get the bike back to the dealer so it's now with Lind Motorrad in Norwich and will hopefully be sorted for me to ride it home later.
They told me this was the first issue of this kind they had encountered with keyless (bike and ignition working fine but fuel filler cap permanently locked). Anyone else had similar issues? Wondering if the good old fashioned key would have been the more prudent choice. When it happens 1/2 mile from home its no big deal but if it happened whilst away on a trip I would be royally pissed off!
