My 1250 GSA is due it’s 6000mile service soon. My local dealer is not even answering the phone at the moment so finding it difficult to get something sorted for the service. Does using an independent workshop invalidate the warranty ? Got a local guy who does a fantastic job on my other bikes and I’m thinking of letting him do the GSA......
6000 mile service.....

I’m sure you can take it anywhere these days.As long as they use genuine parts and follow the service schedule, the warranty isn’t affected.
It’s certainly the case for cars so sure its the same for bikes....

Hi
I had my 6k service on a 1250GSA two weeks ago.
Bahnstormer were very covid aware, I sat on a chair in the sun whilst I waited.
For my bike at least, their is a software update available. Because it takes several hours to download from the mothership, I have to rebook.
I assume that a private wouldn't have the capabilities/equipment for that.

Yup, i believe my bike will have to have the update too, but service is not due till August, so maybe by then, things will have slackened off.
Out of interest Bill, what did the 6k service cost ? I’m keen to get any software updates that may be available when it’s serviced so I’ll try and get something booked tomorrow......
I contacted Bahnstormer to have some warranty work done,
As i'm not a key worker.. its wait your turn

I think that may have been the block exemption rules that applied to new cars, not sure it covered bikes though. Probably someone better than me can advise.
I purchased a five year service pack with the bike, so I can't help you with that.
Might be of interest...

I got the same response when I asked BMW UK. Mine was due a service in May so I'm hoping that I can still fit it within the 3 month grace period, although I'd also be spitting my dummy out if a warranty claim was denied as a result of it being even up to 6 months late to be honest. I'm only at something like 3000 miles (I know, I need to ride it a lot more...) so it's not like anything should be worn out as a result of it just being late, so no justification for denying warranty work in my mind.
I've been quoted £240 + VAT at Bowker for 6000 service... Booked next week
Have a ride across to Alan Jefferies ,they are open .Can also get yourself a cappucicno/latte while your waiting
Booked mine in for July 15th,£215.
All sorted now......booked in for next Friday with service and new tyres.
No answer from the service line all morning. Tried the "sales hotline" and bingo, answered in two rings..........Told him what I wanted and he transferred me to the service dept.
