First, apologies to all that were constantly telling me !
My Dealership eventually, after heated discussions, Finally agreed to swap out the BMW Black faulty, cracked recalled foot rests. Two other dealerships told me to pop in and they would swap them for me. I was told they had to be fitted at the dealership. I explained that I was more than competent to fit them, and that it would take me only single figure minutes. But no, They had to do it. I then asked how I was meant to get there, as no foot rests fitted, they will come and collect. Great.
Tuesday they did as they said and collected bike. I also agreed with them, they would :
1 ) Fit new replacement footpegs. In lowest position.
2 ) Supply and fit new rear tyre (Pilot road 5 Trail)
3 ) Break , clean and re grease drive shaft splines
I was given a price I couldn't really refuse. £40.00. For my peace of mind, and to see actually just if they really did need any attention.
Today, Friday, I phoned the dealership, as I'd not heard anything, and was originally told that Id have the bike bike the same day. Can you see where this may be going ? ...............
Received a phone call today. Footpegs fitted, rear tyre fitted, HOWEVER, there is a problem.
The drive shaft, and rear final drive are F%@cked.........
Due to corrosion. All new parts have been ordered. Drive shaft, Rear final drive and bevel bearings. New seals and rubber boot.
The bike is 2.5 years old. And in immaculate condition. I've been told they have put in a good will gesture to BMW mothership and am awaiting the outcome. After reading so many post on here over a year ago, I asked about this and was clearly told "its unnecessary" .
Waiting with fingers crossed for BMW to come good with this, Or I have a 2.5 year old premium motorcycle ready for scrap or breaking.
Have a nice weekend.
