Re: Puff of Smoke
Hopefuly thats it this time, fair play to BMW they took the bike away on the Thursday and returned it on Saturday, turned out to be a loose wire.... Service guy said that the self test routine for the exhaust valve now only happens every 30th start? Still no reason for the smoke that one time......

Re: Puff of Smoke
I know they won't , but it would be good if BMW gave me the old headers so that I could have a poke about to see if it could be modified to allow some periodic lubrication... sounds as if it needs some graphite based anti sieze.....re applied now & again. Well the new one should last for a bit, ...

Re: Puff of Smoke
@Sakm, did you notice any difference with the valve removed / disabled ( I assume its still there just pernamenty open), allegidly its purpose is to increase torque at low revs... not that a 1250cc twin is likely to lack in torque....

Re: Puff of Smoke
Had a call last night from Dealer, light is on because of an exhaust flap fault. New valve including headers ordered and will be fitted next week. No mention of the smoke.....
I wonder if the new valve is modified or just the same one again?

Re: Puff of Smoke
Had a call from the dealer to tell me that they have the bike and will look at it tomorrow, at a guess he said it may be the exhaust flap / valve.... but doesnt know what would have caused the smoke.... first call I had was from the driver, he was parked outside the dealer and they wouldn't help him...

Re: Puff of Smoke
thanks for the response, I had heard that re the older models but had assumed that they had fixed the issue on the newer generation of engines....... I will mention it to the dealer at next service, still under warranty so will see what they say.

I understand, and agree with the point..... but if you cant afford to buy a £700 helmet and throw it away every 3 years you cant afford it.... no matter what you think your life / head's worth
