Well done Pidcocks and BMW

[JayGee]

Just got my bike back from Pidcocks after
New engine and gearbox oil seal
New front plate
It's a June 2004 bike with 24000 miles so out of warranty but all done for free. These things shouldn't go wrong but it was a big relief when Pidcocks persuaded BMW to do it for free.
They also did a couple of recall things (banjo bolt and something else I've forgotten), a new s/w for the aux socket drop out and "adjusted the clutch" as I'd been complaining it seemed to stick/drag making downshifts a bit tricky especially when hot. I didn't know there was any clutch adjustment and they said the clutch plate was not contaminated so it wasn't the oil leak.

So I'm now feeling considerably happy about the beemer and might even swap it for another next year (maybe an RT as I do a lot of touring and never go off road, not too sure as the RT always seems like an old man's bike - which I am but don't like to admit it to myself!)

Was other mod to change the routign of the front ABS sensor cable? This is what Battersea did to mine a few weeks ago. Added a little bracket which is bolted into the fork leg between the two caliper mounts.

Mine is going in on monday for the front cover and is only a month out of warranty so i hope i get mine for free as well.

Is it the new type cover they fitted as I believe they have been waiting for new stock??

Yep, that was it, they did tell me but amnesia set in!
And yes Beano, it was a new cover cos they had to keep the bike a day while they waited for delivery of a front cover in the right colour, no idea if it's a new design or not. TBH I wasn't too worried about the front cover as I reckon it will probably go again before too long and it's easy enough to rub down and paint and down there you don't notice a few brush marks!
