am seeing more and more a reason to post this as BMW don't seem to be doing anything about it, it has come to light that the 04 onwards K1200 series ie S,R and GT can suffer massive trauma at the hands of the timing chain jumping a tooth, BMW released a jump guard but dont seem to be willing to recall the item, this is a massive deal, this can easily write off your bike, i have had 2 engines come in completely destroyed because of this happening, everyone has heard the horror stories about cars and timing chains, well, this is worse!!
