F 800 Gs

[Airborne]

Wow I am loving BMW ownership.....NOT I have a new F 800 GS and ever sence new the front rim is out of round. I took it to the dealer and he said o well and wanted to charge me $200 to look at it....I guess it does not surprise me from a dealer that charged me $70 to check the header bolts at the 600 mile service. I dont know what to do about the rim......I guess I will take it to a rim guy and have it trued. I thought BMW service was top notch and the warrenty was best in class......yea right. I was thinking about a GSA, but after this I might reconsider.

I still really wonder why it is that they just cant true the wheel. I wonder if they even check the spokes over before delivery. NOT... I just want it fixed right. I do wonder how it made it all the way to the consumer before anyone noticed.

Is there another dealer you can run it to Mark?

Basically there are some really crap dealers out there and they do their best to trash the BMW experience.
On the otherhand there are some great dealers that can make the experience enjoyable even if the bikes not ideal.

I will try another dealer and see what they say. The real problem is that they are both owned by the same folks. No other ones even close. Thanks for the reply.

yeah there are some shit dealers out there, i know a few

Well I took a close look at the front rim, and the inner set of spokes are bent at an angle. That means that the workload is just on the outside spokes. What crap.
The real fix......sence BMW says it is my fault....BC....is to send the wheel to Woodys Wheel Works and have a REAL wheel built. Also Behr rims are built out of shit metal.
Check into it... I will let you all know what BMW does when I take them the hoop and explain what I have learned.

Well Woody does a great wheel, and then a front axle recall, then a radeator recall, then a fuel guage that does not work, then a fuel cell covering that is cracking.....when will this madness stop......as soon as I sell it.

Hi Pat H,

Thank you for the excellent advice regarding the automatic garage door openers, I have one of these children devices, unfortunately it's self relocated to its own property and I not sure I want to invest in another.

Not far from you, in Bengeo
