High miles?

Am I missing something here, a newly released GS and already multiple recalls, error messages and one that’s caught fire!

There’s been a recall on a small number of starter relays and also a recall on the vario cases manufactured by Touratech

6100 miles now, still think my 1250 was a better tourer but it’s still an epic bike, 6000 mile service booked in for next month.

2600 miles, had no problems, did have the replacement relay but the “faulty” one caused me no problems. My brake pads are wearing normally, still loads left on front and rear as checked yesterday with the mandatory health check, when the panniers were fitted. Will put another couple of thousand miles on first two weeks of July

Brake pads wearing normally, at that mileage were you expecting something different!?

No not really, but if you read some posts on here others have been on their third set by that mileage I would be disappointed to need rear pads at anything less than 10k and fronts 15k/20k miles.

Stick had a problem with rear pads wearing very prematurely but that’s the only case I’ve heard of

Mark Hooton from Cymarc also had this problem. A couple of my friends did too

OK, thought it was a one off

5000miles since April and the only problem I have is getting more time to ride it

3rd set

Well it was 4 sets 3700 miles and a set of fronts , new rear caliper and rear disc . Sold it now as frustrated . Gone back to Ducati V4s. Shame as it was a great bike to ride but found the brakes lacking in both wear and feel . The V4 has fantastic brakes. I feel the old 1250 brakes were way better in hindsight.

Well mine made it to NordKapp just after the visitor centre closed at 1am this morning. 3300 miles since leaving Morayshire in a fraction under 2 weeks; a bit bum numbing at times, but the bike (and the SHAD luggage) has performed faultlessly. Anakee Road tyres performing well as well, working in all weathers and living up to their 90/10 billing. Slightly shorter route home, a mere 3000 miles to do in just 8 days.

Not quite as far as you ,got to the Artic Circle,on our way home now.Apart from the adaptive suspension working when it feels like it the bike has been brilliant, for wifey too.

You’ve still done ok in a week to get to the Arctic Circle. Hope you’ve had a good time and the issue you have with the adaptive suspension hasn’t caused you too many problems when riding. Hopefully the dealer gets it sorted soon.

I have 4500 miles .i did have starting problems.But now resolved . The auto ride height has played up twice and is going in at the end of the month to have an all new system including front and rear units and new pump and hoses fitted approx £3500 . So bmw stands by its products. Coming from 3 1250 i am impressed except for the seat . Which i will have done in the winter
