Off to the dealers...

[BigAlSoS]

For new boots to be fitted, Anakees bought new from this parish, annual service , and new ESA under warranty, thank fuck for that warranty

New jacket and jeans for swmbo, going to be an expensive day if I find a shoei hornet, arai tour 4 or bmw helmet that fit too

Was hoping to follow the coastal road round Norfolk afterwards, but rain will no doubt put pay to that....fucking weather

Ride out with Reiten BMW - new dealer in Suffolk- TT IOM on Tuesday

Nice few days ahead

 

[Dave h]

day out

sounds like a plan ,That warranty does come in handy at times,thats why i always keep mine going after the 2 year warranty period is up, would have cost me a small fortune some of the things i had done,have a good day and safe ride.

How many miles on the ESA ?

 

[Cliffbase]

Let us know what that dealers like, it may be my nearest.

You should not have to rely on a warranty.....

The product should be fit for purpose!

Glad said Anakees served you well

Cheers Dave, it was... damp on the way in, but sunny on the way home.... Great value too, £260 for a service and to fit two tyres... ..... n/c for the ESA

 

[BigAlSoS]

How many miles on the ESA ?

9500...

 

[BigAlSoS]

Yes, 9600 out of the first set, so, happy with the longevity, guess I need to be giving it bit more right hand... cheers John... they went to a good home

Can't argue with that, bud, but when it doesn't it's nice to know I am not paying out... although I guess we all pay for it somewhere in the cost of ownership

Yep you done the right thing, when my warranty is up, I will do the same, how much does the extended cost in the UK was it through BMW, and what tyres did you put on.

 

[Rockred]

Can anyone explain why BMW in the USA give a 3 year warranty on new bikes, but in Europe only 2 years is given. ?

I had reported the original fault with the ESA at the end of 2017. So within the original 2 years. But £395 to extend it... it's a lot of cash, but my insurance is under £225. So just add it to the yearly running cost yes, through BMW. I have read that others do it cheaper elsewhere, but I wanted to keep the relationship with BM... my dealer has been excellent over the last 5 years

I bought John's Anakees which he took off his bike when new... I like them, and they were a bargain...I just paid the dealer to fit them...:cool

Good deal thanks for the tip on price, I will be doing the same next August, when my warranty runs out, just think if you have their warranty, you might just get a tad more of goodwill...........

I expect BMW can - give them a call...

I went in yesterday... mentioned to the service manager that swmbo fell off the stationary bike when we were in Germany last year, resulting in three tiny little dots (scratches/marks) right in her eyeline on her visor... what a pain. 10 mins later he comes across the showroom to me and Jill with a secondhand visor, in perfect condition, which he had polished, swapped it over, toatally FOC.... don't think I would get that service elsewhere... they really do know how to look after you.... imho
