Bought mine in Nov 14 after the previous owner sold it back to BMW under the buy back scheme. I have checked with BMW Customer Services and they confirmed that the warranty would be extended by 3 months because of the bike being off the road for the recall.

Has the work made any difference? Mine is the same, dealer is stumped and want to point them in the rightbdirection It has made a huge amount of difference!

BMW dealer has done the work on the clutch, changing plates etc. Mentioned that when I checked the coolant reservoir it was almost empty, and that I had noticed the 'blue liquid' around the vent hole mentioned on other threads/forums - they changed the water pump too!  Did not even hesitate...

Took the bike to the dealer yesterday and they confirmed that the clutch was 'binding' and will need changing. They have asked permission from BMW to do the work under warranty. It seems that this should not be a problem but they are still waiting. Unfortunately, I've got a trip to Colditz/Dresden p...

I've done about 1000 miles now on my 2014 RT that I bought earlier this year. It is proving as good a bike as I was expecting, except for one irritating thing. It is very hard to get neutral when I stop. I end up clicking backwards and forwards between 1st and second until I get fed up and put the s...

Managed to do something similar in the panniers of my 2014 RT. Bought them from eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Small-Map-Pocket-300mm-x-190mm-Clips-Car-Storage-/380925081028?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item58b0e775c4 Useful way of storing stuff, but can still fit helmet in the panniers. Steve P
