Sense of humour? Even the 1150 needs brakes for you old timers.
'They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring!'
. . Just had a call to say BMW has agreed to replace the pads, and that the new ones are slightly different to the originals, so should last longer.
That's true, about the old timers, I'm 63, just back from the Dordonge, total 2347 miles in six days. Rode from Arras to Calais 70 miles, Dover to Northwich 268 miles, one stop for fuel, in four hours & fifteen minutes. I think for an OLD TIMER, with one heart attack and a triple bypass that's not too bad.
So for you young whipper snappers lets have a little more RESPECT. OK. !!!
Well ! I informed my dealer Chester Motorrad 3 weeks ago about the rear brake pad issue,
I told them their demo bike with 1900 miles on the clock, needed looking at, because the pads were very low,
I rang my dealer today, asking if they had been in touch with BMW, they rang back saying they were waiting a reply,
A couple of hrs later i was informed that BMW don't have a brake pad problem, and this is the first complaint they've had,
What a load of bollocks , do they really think we're so stupid,
What a great forum we have, keeping one another up to date, thanks guys
Mine is the third that Vines have replaced the pads on. Others here have had theirs replaced, so BMW are well aware of this, and WILL replace these free of charge. If Chester don't come up trumps, try another dealer.
