Honeymoon Disaster on a 1200GSA

Believe that a real RTW bike should be totally reliable....;Thats why i bought it..

I would have thought you'd have been on this site long enough to know that was unlikely to be the reality.

It's built in part by human beings. In addition parts wear out and are consumed. There was a two year warranty on it and it lasted that. Afterwards it's your problem or you extend the warranty.

If I was BWM I wouldn't consider any complaint on this basis.

Sorry to hear that your honeymoon was interrupted but I would just be pleased that nothing worse happened and that you found the fault outside a nice comfortable hotel instead of in the middle of nowhere

faulty pipe in my opinion, one of those things, happened to me with a goodrich hose once, they are built to cope with very high psi, much higher than the servo will create.

I seriously doubt it was a faulty pipe. If so why would the warning light come on (only to be ignored) initially?

Disaster?

Now all that is not really a disaster - however you said "....Don't spaek Spanish , my iphone spanish download does't cover.." and that is where you made a mistake. If you are travelling on the continent you really only need three "tools" - a list of BMW dealers, a portable phone THAT WORKS in whatever country you are visiting and a credit card that works everywhere;
