Since 1997 I have lived very happily 2000 km from the nearest BMW service without any problems, first with my R1100GS, then R1150GS and now with my 2003 ADV. I never had any problems until joining this forum but since then I have noticed many small things going wrong. The latest was this evening when I downloaded the latest software update for my Navigator 11 from the BMW site and my GPS immediately informed me that I am in fact living in Kansas City and the default map is now the USA. It then showed me that though I am in fact in Tbilisi, I am 10,619 miles from home!
I have managed to correct this but just now my Optimate has decided that the brand new battery fitted only three weeks ago is in fact dead despite the fact that the bike still starts. It could be that this is caused by the frequent power cuts here which upset the Optimate but I am beginning to think that there is some sort of Tossers curse and am expecting things to go wrong every time I ride the bike.
Has anyone else experienced this?
