[QUOTE="Warpdrv, post: 785887, member: 941"] Since you said you wanted "Advice" I would suggest that you are aware of this gear box issue that is currently going on with the S1000RR. I am very interested in this bike myself but after stumbling onto this thread I'm hesitant to buy one until things are sorted out properly by BMW, or just start looking at other products.... BMW is denying any problems though there are a good amount of documented failures. I just think its fair for one to know about stuff like this before investing that kind of money. [URL="https://www.s1000rrforum.com/forum/maintenance/3109-metal-magnetic-drain-plug.html"]https://www.s1000rrforum.com/forum/maintena...drain-plug.html[/URL] Pictures like this scare the hell out of me - and I have owned alot of machines over the years... That is just not right, and its not just from 1 oil change but many.... One of the many pics from owners over there...
