Let them fix the GS, ride it around for a couple of months and then sell it on, and keep your eye out for another. These bikes are either the best most reliable thing ever or a pain in the ass, more so if the mechanic isn't specialized in them. I knew they'd have a field day.....but we desperately needed a thread Pedro! So I had to throw myself to the wolves! As for the GS.....it really rides well, I've got no complaints on that score. Plus the workshop doing the work is a recognised BMW independent so no worries there. And as you can see by the condition, this certainly doesn't seem like an abused bike. This is the moment I discovered the oil leak......you can see the drip underneath.

If issues continue then I'll obviously have to rethink it, but as it stands it's not costing me a penny and I'm getting loads of new shit in it.

By the time they finish swapping out parts as they find more problems you will only have that top box left of the original bike. Henceforth your bike shall be known as TRIGGER'S BIKE. The terrible thing is, the top box is Italian. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
