On a positive note, he did say that there is a possibility that BMW would pay for the forks to be rectified by an external source? This would then invalidate any BMW warranty, of course!
The real option is for these feckers at BM to recall these bastard forks and replace them with some WP's etc!
Mine is gonna have to go I'm afraid, it's already been back to base 6 times. Latest additions have been new headstock bearings and front wheel bearing (Motarrd rims) It's also gotta go back and have the shaft stripped and checked because there appears to be some excessive play?
I ain't happy...  |
Sorry to hear that chap - can't imagine what you would ride instead

Clunkers wanted!
Hi,
I'm actually building up an Elefant for some serious off road abuse, hope you aren't offended! I am putting Husky USD 45s on it and I'd like the bottom feet off BMWs superclunk version... This will get the trail a bit nearer where I want it, hopefully close enough to avoid custom yokes, and also gives me a bigger wheel spindle.
So anyone want to sell me their clunky forks for not much? I only need the bottom alloy feet plus about 8" of stanchion to grip to get them off, so some attention from an angle grinder will save postage and any BMW dealer worrying about someone trying to pull a double replacement... I might also be interested in a wheel spindle and maybe a front hub, diisc, caliper etc if it's cheap, or I'll make mine fit the chunkier spindle I'm expecting to pay real money for

Clunk, Clunk
My HP2 clunked from the first day I brought it home & I purchased it new. I discovered BMW Motorrad knew they had a problem. Go to the web & read BMWNA Bulletin# 31 003 08 (058). My dealer was not aware of this bulletin untill I brought it to his attention. My bike was a different animal after the fix, much more soild feeling, and no clunking. The work was done at no cost to me, but it is not a recall and nothing will be done unless you bring it to the dealers attention. Hope this helps.
Mike

Has anyone got a link/copy of the BMW sService Bullitin for this fault? Had it somewhere but cannot find it - they replace internals and is also a triple clamp replacement in some cases.
