Hello folks, so my F700 is around 4 months old now and I was needing to tighten the chain and prep it for winter last week when I looked under the seat and to my horror was greeted by this sight.
I emailed the dealer I got the bike from on Friday with a load of pictures, but have not heard back from them yet. So, am I wrong to be shocked at this? Do all tool kits on the F series bikes disintegrate in a matter of months? The bike has hardly seen rain and lives in a garage... Aside from this, the rest of the bike looks brand new.
I know of a couple of people with 15 year old BMW's and their tool kits look fine (they are at least usable).
It's not just surface rust either, after some scrubbing they now look like this... The spanner has lost one of its "tips" already and the torx heads are already too misshapen to use on the bike.
