Hi, just joined the forum. My first BMW, a 1250GS Exclusive, 2019 - 4000 odd miles, i'm the second owner and it's straight into the dealership with a fault.
I'm surprised to see no mention of an up and coming issue with the new 1250 engine.
It's a noise coming from mostly the left hand cylinder head which sounds like a valve out of adjustment - a tick.
Only starts when the engine is up to temperature. No affect on performance or idling etc.
The bike is currently with the dealer awaiting a new cylinder head installation, however there are no parts in the UK or so I have been told.
Researching google, no mention that i can find of the fault, however Youtube has a few videos of the exact same fault, some worse than others.
Comments left on the videos range from dealers stating it's normal and nowt wrong, new cylinder heads and even a new engine.
My only concern is that even with new heads and engines, the tick seems to be present. I cannot find a post which states the fault has been cured.
Any further info from yourselves will be gratefully received.
