So last October I sold my old oil cooled GSA and upgraded to a 16 plate GSA LC. The bike is immaculate. Like new and I was very pleased. I rode it home from the dealer, and then went out the next day again and soon after that they salted the roads so until last Monday it’s sat in the garage.
On Monday I dragged it out to take it for its fork recall and also an extended ride home from the dealer. Had a spare hour so headed out last night. Got 10 miles from home and filled up with fuel. Went to leave, pressed the button to turn on the keyless ignition which flicked on for a millisecond and then nothing. Completely dead. Total electronic failure. Tried both keys, not even registering that that it couldn’t pick up the key. Completely dead. Then waited 3.5 hours for BMW assist to recover the bike! Both the Friday night I had planned.
Off to the Pyrenees in a couple of weeks on it so had planned to do some miles in the run up. Now will have to wait and see. Not very impressed, 180 miles into ownership and it’s broke. Anyone else had this happen on theirs?
Cheers Dave
