After a short stop the Bike (2011 GT) refused to restart. I tried bump starting it but there was no compression which was an ominous sign.
The bike has been recovered to Vines who identified a cam chain problem with all inlet valves bent. (This comes on top of a gearbox replacement earlier in the year and a replacement drive shaft and bevel gear last year)
The bike has always been serviced by BMW.
What is the considered opinion of the experts here? Will BMW cover the cost of a rebuild or will they put in a new engine?
I very much hope that I am not left to foot the bill for this one - it feels very very expensive.
Thoughts?
