**800cc engine probs*** Ouch
Not my bike but a mates
but I feel bad as I'd told him how good BM's were....
He bought a new pre registered ( ex demonstrator) with 1600mile on the clock
Virtually immediatly it had strange ( metal scraping ) noises and by 1650miles was back at BMW for a NEW ENGINE........
just over 1000miles later.........
metal scraping noises again and its going back to BMW for another NEW ENGINE.
The noise is a metallic scraping from the bottom of the block by the water pump.
My mate was a bit p***ed off to say the least having got rid of a minter of a VFR.
He's argued with the dealer and has now as a result taken it to another for the work ( now going to Oxford BMW who appear most helpful)
but ........
The BM will be at the dealers for approx 5 weeks
no loan bike......
I guess the bike will be repaired under warranty and then sold
my mate is OFF BMW now
back to HONDA.....
Oh I feel bad
