They don't loan free bikes at this dealer They would be happy to rent me a bike at 20% discount off the price of $135 a day...... NOPE I miss max bmw up north.I bought a RT a while back and then sold it before I even reached 500 miles as I hated it but that's a different story. The bike was an ex-demo bike. I got it from a BMW dealer who assured me it was in brilliant condition so I foolishly 'bought at distance'. Anyway I discovered lots of corrosion so sent it back. They discussed the issues and ended up replacing the engine, the final drive and forks (they were corroded similarly to your fork). At 7 months old your dealer won't have much choice but to sort it out. It's a sad truth but BMW bikes seem to corrode badly sometimes.
Get yourself a loan bike from your dealer to enjoy whilst yours is fixed, then enjoy an almost new bike when you get yours back. Shouldn't happen I know but it has so simply get it sorted, let the dealer have the problem.
I did notice a few tiny bubbles on the engine.... Would rather a buy back. I regret not getting the 1000xr after the minor issues I have had and now the major rust.
