As per the title, I want to ask some questions of those people like myself who purchased from BMW, a genuine maintenance dvd for their motorcycle. I have one for my r1250gs and another one my f850gs.
I understand that these dvd’s are no longer available to buy and although they are sold as ‘updatable’, I have found that the internet connection to the BMW site to update no longer seems to work.
Furthermore, even more perplexing, the printer icon no longer appears on the particular page header bar alongside the caliper and piston icons.
This is a pain as I like to print off instructions for a particular job to be able to refer to them with oil covered hands. I’ve tried both dvd’s in a second PC, linked to a separate printer and still no joy.
I must admit that I have little faith in asking this question of my local dealership (which I will do at some point), as the technicians there use the in-house system and the sales/parts staff knowledge may well be limited to ‘don’t sell ‘em any more mate’.
So, my questions are: has anyone recently successfully updated their maintenance manual? Do you still see the printer icon and are you still able to print instructions?
