R1200/1250 driveshaft replacement :o

 Another, not K-related thing...

"BMW has not admitted any fault, design flaws, or poor quality in the materials. However, adding free regular driveshaft replacements to the maintenance schedule sends a strong message that BMW intends to stand behind its product and make these problems right. While the additional dealer maintenance visits may be an inconvenience to some, it’s a significant goodwill gesture that will likely make certain KTM owners a bit jealous."

For the rest of the story...
