I'm getting towards the 100K kilometers mark...
I had all the recall issues taken care off.
At 6000Km I noticed that the front brake was gradually getting worse, I had 3 front disk changes, and a new front wheel in the end.
The petrol tank vent valve did stop functioning (it corroded) and caused the tank to collapse (vacuum). The tank came back in shape afterwards.
I still like the bike, it has all you need...but...I'm thinking of buying a Yamaha Super Ten.

27,302 Miles,
Just serviced, Stearing head bearing adjusted, ready for more
Keep up the good work, I like to see it
I here Micky of the F8's could be near 100 k (miles) this year
Hardly done any miles on mine since purchased in August. It's an 08 model & due a 12k service.
The BMW dealer claimed it had been serviced by them since new but couldn't give me a list of work / recalls done (the service book is stamped by them). Won't ever deal with them again - shoddy customer service once the bike was sold.
Can I find out whether any recalls were done?

wow!
Must try harder!
Of to Austria this year two up, as well as Scotland! That should help!
I'm doing similar but the other way first Lands End solo, then later in August, lazily through Belgium, into Germany heading for the Black forest, don't think we will have time for Austria , if not turn right into France and back to Blighty
Surely, as he is always out and about we must be passing Micky of the F8's on our travels, I have calculated if we twiddle with his milometer so that it counts backwards, in up to 5 years (if we get out more), combined we could surpass him
08 plate - mine from new = 37k.
Off t'Alps in a couple of weeks, so will be just over 40k shortly.
No probs with mine at all
Must meet up for a fry up, if nothing else it puts more miles on the bike!
Thank you. Heard lots of good things about Rainbow but their car park is a short-legged person's nightmareSpeak to Steve at Rainbow, give him your chassis number or call in at AJ's and ask Dan the same
Williams of ManchesterWho is the BMW dealer you purchased the bike from?
Sounds like a Plan Fry up
