I've also ordered a GSA1250, I'll get it on the 3rd.
there is a funny fact, I've tested their demo GSA 1250, and IT HAD THIS PROBLEM... and also the from tyre was noise like hell.I've told it to the sales guy and it sound (obviously) strange to him.
I've tested a second one (esclusive TE non Adventure), guys, it was like a Swiss watch!

It sounds like BMW QA hasn't done a great job this time.
I'll take care to show this thread to them ahead of my delivery so that they can check and avoid giving me an already faulty bike.

Best

Yeah mebbe you are right. If the wait means that I’ll get an engine without the problems then I don’t mind (as long as it doesn’t drag on)

Someone I know ‘claims’ he got a new bike following a rattle-fest on the way back from JockLand!

Was at the HD rally in Baildon over the weekend with Hogley its amazing how many people with HD's also have a GS....

anyway, couple on guy's there I was talking to from Stoke area.. one on a GS and one on a Dyna... they should of been doing the NC500 run but the bloke on the Hog, his 1250 was in doc due to.... you guessed it... cam issues he was also waiting for a date to be confirmed but for new cams...
I obviously put him right on what he should expect (ENGINE) but he was okay with what was being done

His millage was 2500 from new so they do appear to show up early on maybe?...

Wonder out of how many 1250 engined bikes sold, how many have this issue, I would suspect not that many. BMW must have done 100,000 miles in testing so this must be a manufacutering problem rather than design or it would have shown up before. I have 400 miles to go then on mine

I think the record is circa 600 miles with that poor South American geezer and the rattle from hell!

(Never heard of that, Sir)

Both my tits are on manufacturing defect.

And I bet my arse it’s originated from an Asian supplier, Chinese most likely.

Just saying

Well, great news, new engine arrived today install is planned to start a week on Tuesday and I hope it’s an engine without the common faults in it! I’ll have another three year warranty to find out!
