I've had my GS for just over 2 years. It's a 2016 with 22,000 miles on it.
I came pretty close to selling it, but I've come to the conclusion that it's set up just the way I want it and it's the best all round bike in the world.
My issues though, I'm sure its developed a droning vibe between 3 and 4 thousand rpm in 3rd, 4th, a little in 5th gear. When droning in 4th at those rpm, if I shift to 5th, the droning frequency increases by double if that helps?
The bike is 100% aside from that.
I'm planning to do an oil change, final drive oil change and re-grease in the next few days... any suggestions about other things I might check while rooting around? It's my first time doing any work on the GS too.
It's always been serviced to schedule by BMW but as far as I know they dont regrease the drive shaft.
If I cant locate and fix the vibe I'm either going to trade it for an XR or get the extendable warranty.... not sure which yet.
Thoughts?
