Lozzo, it's time to have a gloat.

It all started off OK. A nice ride home from work on a sunny summer evening
when I stopped at the first set of lights and a taxi driver pointed out that
there was something dripping from my motorbike. Sure enough he was right;
large quanities of petrol were runing nicely down the gearbox from somewhere
under the tank so I thought it best to pull over and switch off.

Cutting a long story short the bike is now in the back of a van on its way
to BMW Park Lane and I've got to get that thing that BCB always raves about
home.

I suppose at least it didn't catch fire.

Hahahahaha. Did Wik get his fixed after it spat its dummy?

 

fx: furious little rumpleskin-esque jig.

 

I think he got the gearbox done under warranty. Someone registered recently
on the ukgser forum calling themselves "Wikkus" who had recently purchased a
GS Adventure and was having problems with it loosing power when
accelerating. I'm not sure whether it was resolved to Wikkus' satisfaction.

The annoying thing it about mine is that it is a known fault and subject to
a recall that was supposed to have been fixed when it was last serviced.

 

That'll sounds like our Wik. He had that problem just before our trip to
Spain, and iiRC, it got worse on the way back.
