Why do you want to sell it?

Take a peek inside the headlight, see if anything doesn't look even or looks out of place. Alternately, take the bike out for a night ride and see if your headlight beam looks correct on pavement, and or does it rattle or bounce around loosely while riding. Do some turns and check the adaptive...

I believe v13-13-20 is the most current update, if there hasn't been one since May or June of 2023.

Call NHTSA and give them the details in a verbal report, that the fix was not satisfactory. I would also try to get the number of BMW corporate customer service, call them and explain the details. Dealerships need to do better in verifying the work their technicians perform.

I'd pull all the spark plug caps and get some dielectric grease just inside the boot, to seal against' the insulation on the spark plug.

I'm just not sure everyone around you should have to hear you enjoying yourself with the wind blowing through your hair or past your ears. Or have to listen to the music you're enjoying on your motorcycle on it's speakers, instead of through something like a Blue tooth connected headset with a...

Looks like your "recalibration issue" started around June 10th. This is Sept 7th... about 90 days. Any idea when about the spline lubrication issue was addressed at the factory? Is the spline lube a 1 shot deal, or does it need regular servicing annually or based on mileage? Shame we can't...

I bet you if you were to go in and pay for one in full, full price, from the parts department, they could find one pretty quickly, off of the production line. I am sure there's plenty of them available in or around Berlin, Germany.

I thought it's within the .20 to .25 mm spec, so .25mm should be almost a no go. .007" feeler gauge to .011", with a .009 being smack dab in the middle.

Were they in spec, or did they need minor adjustment?

Yeah, he might have to declare it as unearned income on his motorcycle rentals on his 1040, plus State income tax. Keep in mind, we all subsidize it with our motorcycle insurance rates.... Nothing is free, someone has to make up for it.

Where did you find one of those?

I guess we are just different, Adam. I don't lend or rent out anything.... Wife or girlfriend, airplane, boat, jet ski, cars, motorcycles, tools, guns, and especially my motorcycles, knowing how risky they are. I just don't "pimp" my ride out. My motorcycles are basically my personal pleasure...

Would you have sold the bike for $1000 less if you just didn't put $1000 in service into the bike? If so... then there's additional sales tax and registration fees on that additional $1000. I'd rather buy it for $11,000 and be taxed and pay registration fees on an $11,000 bike than a $12,000...

Too late now, but it's sad the new owner is going to have to pay sales tax on a $1000 service, that you probably just paid sales tax on too. Better to suggest the new owner do the service after buying the bike. Sales tax is 10.5% where I live, you just added another $105.00 in taxes when I...

Which dealership did a good job of taking care of you?

My sentiments, exactly.... I never short out on new plugs for my Rotax 912 ULS in my airplane, and that's 1365 cc's with twin Bing 36 or 40 mm carbs running constantly at 5200-5500 rpm at 4.5 to 5.2 gallons of fuel per hour. I set the gap at .026" and in 400 hours, being checked annually, and...

A grim reminder how expensive owning a BMW motorcycle is if you make even a small mistake. I don't think the insurance company will cut you a check for the damage, find out for sure, first. The title needs to be now listed as having been in an accident, as a leased vehicle, goes against the...

Just get a Harley Davidson Fat Boy, 2018 or newer. The fat rear tire on this or a Fat Bob makes the bike handle really sluggish.

A part number.... Price this time, for adaptive unit, about $3300, a dealership in Pomona, CA, $3405.49 in Ventura, CA 0 in stock in Germany or the USA. 63 128 395 642 One dealership also quoted a price for the non deluxe, non adaptive unit, no part # $2619.49
