I ve had by 1250 about 10 days now and have a couple of queries...
My clutch bites right at the end of its travel, my mate who has a 1250RS took it a run last night and first thing he said was what's with the clutch! what would be a reasonable distance to expect out of a 'normal' road ridden bike. I bought from a non franchise dealer so although theres BMW warranty until Jan 22, the dealer has provided 12 months (to July 22)
My quick shifter seems to need excessive pressure on upshifts and downshifts is just a lucky dip if they happen. The sweet spot for downshifts seems to be in the 3-4k rev range.
I made the mistake of riding my mates 1250RS and although only 2500 miles on it, clutch bites well with a bit of lever travel after engagement and the quick shifter is super smooth up/down/ whenever
Is it just my bike is getting on a bit and its what i should expect?
In retrospect, the issue from buying from a Ducati dealer is he doesn't know GS's and therefore he has no answers to my queries other than, I know a few guys with them, ill ask them!
