New to BMW

Ok here goes , if I wanted to make someone aware that I'd mentioned them in a reply on some sites you can put  example @Phmode, by putting this in the reply it would cause a notification flag on /in that persons account so that you can draw there attention to something, it also pulls down a list of names starting with the first letter ie P then Ph and so one it makes it easy to also get peoples names correct. Hope ya understand

As far as I know (but what do I know?) there is no such feature in SMF, the software we run on. If anyone knows differently I would love to hear of it.

Sorry costas but that means nothing to me but if you hope your wrong it must be serious .
extended warranty is not a problem for the  piece of mind.
also can you tag someone in a reply so they know you have included them ?

Coupling issue was mentioned cause it was a serious recall object for this bike model, and in all case that I'm familiar with noise was the symptom.
Extended warranty is the best deal you chaps have there, wish it was a worldwide thing but it is not.

well my bike went back to bm last night and i must say that mondail (bmw warranty) were very efficient and professorial , I will keep you informed .  

[Costas]

Mondial in UK offers an extended warranty program in the rest of Europe  is only covering recovery. That proves to my eyes that law in UK and consumer organisations are far more efficient .

hi just spoke to the dealer and they have decided that the clutch basket is knackered and asked BMW to foot the bill ,im told that the worst case i may have to pay labour about £100  after 400 mls as i ride about 16000 miles a year this could be a very expensive bike to keep   

[Costas]

I was somehow expecting that. 100 is the labor cost and there is nothing they can do about it am afraid, and that happens only because they already submit more than three deferential PUMA (work order and parts claim) about the bike.

What is in the small print for excess,I don't think anyone has ever mentioned dealing with the extended warranty when a bike has been purchased from a dealer.

As for ' very expensive bike to keep' I should imagine most on here will have a wry smile at that.

[Costas]

And shake their heads in compliance.

hi just spoke to the dealer and they have decided that the clutch basket is knackered and asked BMW to foot the bill ,im told that the worst case i may have to pay labour about �100  after 400 mls as i ride about 16000 miles a year this could be a very expensive bike to keep 

 I did 20K a year on my 1300GT and yes it aint cheap, servicing and tyres was about �2k a year. As Chris once said to me, "Your problem is you use it"   Original clutch mind for 60k miles and still going strong when it went. They need to put a complete 13 clutch in yours and possibly do a mod to the oil flow, which they wont know anything about in all likelyhood.

I think I'm going to continue this in the whinge section if that would be more correct place .
