I did, earlier in this thread. R1100 models showed in an independent survey (riders having done >20k Km on them were allowed to participate) showed a 25% GEARBOX BREAKDOWN.
That was around 8 years ago, that percentage has gone way up by now.
The same questionnaire, filled in for the Pan European ST1100, didn't come up with even one gearbox breakdown, nor were there any drive line failures. As you know, the ST1100 gearbox & drive line are very comparable to the faulty bmw (getrag) parts.
Looking at the newer bmw 1200GS model, the pictures becomes even worse. The percentage motorbikes with one or more of the following warranty claims is terrifying:
- rear wheels coming loose,
- leaking drive lines,
- leaking gearboxes,
- exhaust valves breaking off
-"ringantenne" / EWS breakdown
