Hi all,
New to the forum.
I've doing a lot of research about my next bike and the G310GS is the first bike I want to try when dealers open on April 12th.
I do have a few concerns with the safety recalls and other stuff long term reviews have mentioned.
Side stand issue
Brakes (salt)
Alternator not charging battery enough
Headlight wobble
I don't mind safetly recalls and niggles, often brand new models have a few teething issues, it's to be expected.
So my question is really, if I'm looking at a second hand bike in a non BMW dealership, how do a confirm whether the bike has had the recalls done? Call BMW with the reg?
I'm not sure which items in the list above are safety recalls or just niggles, I'm assuming the headlight and alternator are not recalls. Is there anything I can see on the bike physically what will tell me? e.g. can I tell if the side stand issue has been solved just by knowing what to look for on the bike?
I'm very keen on getting a G31GS but just don't want to buy a bike from someone who didn't respond to any recalls and just got rid of it and then I spend the next two months getting issues sorted.
Thanks to anyone who responds!
