You'd hate it Nutty ....

He is in counselling following the Orange key fiasco

Don't panic, I don't want to buy one.

They're not ideal for little legs ...

34" inseam here, with a short body!

I had my first proper service today, 9,000mile/1 year.

Somewhat cheaper than a WMB



Anybody know what a T.I. is (technical instruction?) and what's the 'foil on air deflector' thing?

Oil pressure light coming on...

Andres,

When mine came back from it's first service (September) they'd put a foil sticky back thing on the underneath of my seat.

The technical instruction sounds like a mapping tweak to help the cold start. (although that seems pretty well recognised as a weak starter motor ... )

What the hell kind of organisation hand writes invoices in 2015?

Oil filter crushed causing low oil pressure - how many miles with that fault

An organisation dear Nutty, that understands old skool. An organisation that that understands grass roots, soul, and character, an organisation that smells of grease, has an oily chain and an organisation that builds a bike that shouts 'FUCK YOU' as it wheelies out of the roundabout!

Is it any wonder that your BMW invoice comes from a pristine souless printer, in a carpeted office, between the water dispenser and coffee machine ...

Oil pressure light coming on...

Not uncommon but no reports of damage that I can find either. The oil pressure light would come on when very cold at initial start up, for 30 seconds max. Collapsed oil filter bing the culprit. Apparently there is a new filter (which has now been fitted). We'll see how it goes...........

Yeah, the mapping is I think a well known tweak to make sure as much current is delivered to the starter as pos (I've the 1290 starter since my 600 mile service so no issues anyway).

The foil on the seat, I think, was a mod on the 2013's to help combat the hot exhaust. My bike has always had it from new so it's not that

The sort of organisation run by everyday folk who don't have to finance a corporate coffee machine

Better put than I sir

Over the last 400 miles or so, very intermittently. I don't see any issue TBH.

Looking on Google a few reports of similar on the 1290 as well but no reports of further damage either

 

[MattW]

I use the same handwritten invoices - must mean I'm not souless (and I definitely don't have corporate coffee machine)

 

[Nutty]

Like moths to a flame!

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

My KTM Dealer has a coffee machine and a poota

As an aside I had the 6k service done on my GSA LC yesterday for which I supplied my own 5W 40 Castrol oil and the invoice total including VAT was £130.64 and over half of that cost was having the brake fluid replaced

See Giles post, a proper one that does the job properly

One that doesn't abbreviate things

You've got some good mates there then cos I used to pay considerably more for a 6000 mile service on my GS :-O
