I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may provoke an explosion.
Well, despite it's hard life and travails through allsorts of roads and conditions, I have to report that it is still in the same condition as when manufactured 4 years ago.
In a word......NO

Well it is 100% 'No' at the moment - there is only 1 vote, mine, and I have a KTM so therefore the BMW shaft drive is 100% reliable.
Please make this 'sticky' so we don't have to have anymore threads asking about their reliability.

We were engaged to ask a specific question and solicit just one of two possible responses, yes or no.
Such is the very essence of statistical gathering and further extrapolation
Can you add a "yes" but I don't care?
I feel better already

To even it up you could add "No, and I'm really nervous and paranoid"?
Oh dear, the sponsor of the poll was looking for a failure rate of 1% or less.
This is not making encouraging reading for him. 10 votes cast and one failure amongst the ten..... looks like he may need 99 more NO votes...

I bought a spare FD, so my then new 05GS12 wouldn't have the last laugh.
I got bored waiting for the running FD to explode so I sold the spare FD to tempt the GS into failure. She refused to fail after 22k miles so I sold her for a new 09GS12. I've only done 7.5k on the new one but I'm hopeful of a FD failure in the very near future.
