Help - BMW F800GS - looking to track down previous owner

[Neil W]

It was first registered by John Clark in Dundee but they will not give out any info

Brother in law got a replacement service book from Clark (after a fair bit of badgering ) and it was fully stamped up with the work they had carried out . The bike had been initially supplied by Dalkeith who did the 600 mile service and when he took the replacement book in when he got it serviced by them in July they stamped the 600 mile service for him .
Struggle to work out why BMW p*ss about regarding online servicing records , ever since VAG went over to online service records ALL VAG dealers can access the records and any independent dealer can (at a small cost) can both view and update service records and a full print is available from anyone who subscribes to the system .

Forks removed and stripped to fit new oil and dust seals , unfortunately the supplier sent the wrong ones for an earlier pre 2011 model so couldnt re-assemble them

Moved on to replace chain & sprockets

Have you stuck with the oem springs John, or contemplating some progressive ones?

Original for now . I have found previous WP forks OK but not rode this enough yet to decide

John Clark came up trumps and confirmed a full main dealer service history with them , including a £1300 service in May with a new headlight and new tyres fitted . They also provided a printout of the service history summary . Also contacted the original owner who has sent me the riders handbook and spare key

Turns out this really is a one careful lady owner bike !
