speedo

Mine did the same a few months ago. The speedo got more and more erratic until it stopped working completly. I traced the fault to the same brown wire which had snapped.

However, I now do have a spare sender unit and wire, should you need one. :oops:

Leaskey, I missed this thread last May. Thats bloody horrendous! Glad they seem to to have got their just desserts. I put my bike my bike into Astle (Grimsby) 2 weeks ago for its 36k service (the only dealer service my bike is getting). I know they they have not got the best of reviews on this forum...

Longest trip

Longest bike trip would be Home to Felixstowe (220 miles), 4 hours on a ferry, off at Ostend and then rode to Stuttgart (400 miles) on a BMW K1000RS.

Beaten though by a car journey of Home to Dover (300 miles) across to Boulogne and drove to Nice (750 miles)..........18 hour journey, don't try it!

A tad unfair I think Kev. At least BMW take the trouble to recall and fix bikes if they suspect they might have a problem rather than some other well known maufacturers who would rather just let you find out by yourself. Obviously its no fault of theirs when sub frames snap or suspension fails, its ...

OK, just rang local dealer who told me it's for a new, later type of fuel hose to be fitted and for the ball head on the brake level to be secured.

Recall

No not Arnie but BMW. Letter just dropped through the box from Jeff Lynn (liked his out of the blue album) BMW Customer Information Service Manager issuing a safety recall for my bike. Bearing in mind it is now 8.5 years old and no problems yet this seems unlikely. Any of you dealer chappies out the...
