Hey guys, new to the forum so going to kill two birds with one stone in the hopes I can also get some assistance!
So I was doing some trail riding on the GS all kitted out for good ol' protection (Supposedly!) - crash bars, bash plate, cylinder head protectors. Anywho to cut a long story short. Stupidly dropped it into a rut at idle which annoying snagged a jagged rock in a puddle resulting in the protector getting cracked. This has resulted in a seriously unfortunate scenario...
The loom got snagged but can be stitched back in without it being noticeable, I do need to replace:
A valve cover
Some new bolts
New Gasket
Ignition Coil
Spark Plug Cover
and for good measure a new oil filter / oil as it was leaking quite heavily. Being in a puddle made things worse as the oil went a creamy white inferring water in and around the valve cover.
Anywho, was able to get the girl back up and roll her down to civilisation by myself and about 3 hours later she was running (albeit on one cylinder) - Got BMW to pick her up and she's now in for repairs... Circa £700 quid.
Anyone got any experience with this and how this would generally affect the engine as a whole or requiring a new Cylinder Head etc - My concern is the water, but the guys at BMW said if I could turn the bike on then it sounds as though it's okay...
