Skip the warranty. Buy fuel.

Had my '16 RS in for it.s final "in-warranty" check up. They offered up additional warranty at $899 -1 year / $1299 - 2 years / $1699 - 3 years / $2099 - 4 years. On the way home, my bank account was pleased at my decision |

Unfortunately motorcycling comes with costs, some which cannot be avoided. |

Hi Alan, |

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #5 Apparently I needed fresh brake fluid this time, which added another £23 Alan |

Not bad! I just had the third annual service at 28.000 km. The standard service included fork oil exchange, brake fluid exchange, dismounting and cleaning brake calipers front and rear, software update and regular service. Cost 350 euro. Unfortunately the battery was bad and was replaced at 150Euro. All in all this is about 400 euro cheaper than a regular 10k service for my previous bike (Yamaha YZF600R), so I am pleased with that. I have read on other BMW fora that the factory battery is a weak spot on all R LC models. Most dissapointing is that my Michelin Road 5's are gone with only 5.000km. The only ting I can blame BMW for is that they make the bikes so easy going that tires never last long however, these Michelins are gone really fast. I'll try Pirelli Angel GT II after this. |

Zitat von Donderkat im Beitrag #8 When choosing tires (tyres for you Europeans), it is important to look at just how the old tires have worn. If there is a pronounced bald strip in the center, but the edges have a lot of tread left, then a harder compound will serve well in the new tires. But if the tire is worn throughout its tread-width, then get the softer tires and plan on replacing them each year. But pay knowing that the tires have you kept you upright and in your lane for the expense. |
