These things are never as straight forward as they originally seem to appear
This is very true, I probably would get a refund and then buy another one due to the fact of the situation I am in
I have a mate who from 2013 to present day has had 1 x new 1200 GS and 3 x new 1200 GSA's
Because originally there was a part exchange involved the contributions/credit notes that were flying around between BMW and the dealer became very complicated. Complicated to the point were I doubt BMW or the dealer made any money on the whole transaction. But what I do know is he was able to go from a 2013 GS to a 2017 GSA Triple Black in four years and it only cost him the difference between the cost of a TE spec GS and a TE spec GSA
Forgetting the fact that at least two of his bikes went back in exchange needing both a service and tyres, I think BMW and his dealer did him proud
I can't think of any other manufacturer or dealer network that support both the product and the customer like BMW do

I've not heard of any gearbox issues.
People have been posting on this forum about it including myself, not shifting right and locking like mine did
Loads of people all over the World complaining via Facebook also

I had gearbox issues with the replacement motor in my RT LC, pretty major ones at that resulting In a third motor and an exhaustion of patience. It all got sorted but it will be a while before I go near an LC Boxer again.

Im having problems with my Rallye gearbox really notchy when I change down from 4th to 3rd it vibrates when you push the lever down and you think it has changed but still shows 4th I have verbally reported the problem and will take it in next week , luckily my mate is the service manager so hopefully no bullshit, My 2016 GSA gearbox was way better in every way so a little concerned on a + note the bike goes like stink and handles like on rails

After a long and protracted consultation with BMW by the dealer all my affected parts Rear subframe, rear wheel, Final drive have been replaced. I am happy that BMW finally agreed after some cajoling by the dealer but I would have been much happier if it never happened in the first place..;-)
