[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1399114, member: 91458"] It's interesting that BMW ON magazine spends pages on how to fix... whatever. To be fair, most of the fixes apply to (relatively) ancient bikes. OTOH, I've seen pictures of "banjos" literally melted (banjo - where the shaft means the rear axle via gears in the banjo). Aside from the ABS module, the alternator was replaced (IMNSHO a missed diagnosis), and the rear brake system was worked (not missed diagnosis). It's instructive to read BMW sites. The number of problems with all models is not trivial. I'm somewhat surprised that there are comparatively few "grease the splines quarterly" admonitions, and lists of leaking water pumps, or (honest) recurrent tank gauge sensors. PNW... sampled it twice (Portland to the coast and north to Astoria and back) and Seattle (no real wandering outside of the city) - all on four wheels. With a fair wind or good luck or both, you might get a knock on the door. Do I get points for at least our boat being designed by Bob Perry, who hangs his shingle out in Tulalip, WA? [/QUOTE]
