Hey Justscootin, London England I'm afraid. Would happily swap;) Cheers, Hilton

You're right Snowdog - They delivered it last night(even earlier than expected) and the thing runs superbly. Possibly my imagination but feels a little snappier off the line. Now I can't wait til they replace the belt/clutch! Couldn't have asked for a better result :cool:

Nice one Bottleofred. Glad you made your mind up & look forward to hearing how it goes. For what it's worth, if anything did go wrong, the experience I've just had with Motorrad backup has made me very glad I chose BMW. Text book brilliant customer service. Have fun:D

As per my other post about the running problem - the dealer's just told me that they've replaced the switch under warranty. What a result! BMW after service rules! :D

Well, I'm overwhelmed with BMW's service - amazing! They've let me know the scooter's fixed. It was the throttle control gizmo(a type of electrical control switch - didn't listen well enough, sorry). *edit* Just re-read Snowdog's observation about the throttle position sensor - that's probably...

Thanks for the input guys. Exavid, that's some tool! Certainly looks a worthwhile purchase. Feel a bit embarrassed for believing the breakdown guy but hey, it's with the dealer now so will wait for their more 'informed' diagnosis. Should know tomorrow.....👍

I pointed this out to the guy and he said the cables operated a rotor under the front panelwork.....was he talking cr*p?

Thanks for the ideas. I'd already gone thru 1/2 a tank of fuel before it started playing up so not sure about gas yet. Very impressed with the dealer's response: " Right, when you get home, dial this number and they'll come over. If they can't fix it there, they'll take it direct to us and...

The scooter was running perfectly before the bank holiday then started it up to go to work yesterday morning(bit cool, but not raining) and it idled but just would not rev unless I gave it full gas.....(but not having full power) Nightmare journey into work as it's London rush hour and every...

Thanks guys. I'll ask the dealer what's what. Will let you know. Cheers, Hilton

You're right. Wasn't sure where I stand as the main warranty will have expired by now but I bought it from a dealer(demo bike) with a year's warranty. Should be the same thing right? Cheers, Hilton

The Heated Grips button has started sticking down and not releasing back up again. I've tried spraying WD40 down the side of it but to no avail. I'll have to buy a long reach Torx key to get it off, which is also quite annoying, but in the meantime, has anyone else had this problem? Cheers, Hilton

On looks alone, I'd say go for it! Looks the nuts! Then tell us all what it sounds/goes like ;)

I found a solution to the back tip of the seat skidding down on the top box front: I chocked up the front 2 locating points of the rack(which fastens to the grab rail). I put a couple of thick washers (3/8") underneath the plate and tightened everything up whilst maintaining pressure on the rear...
