The source of my recovery problems have been
(1) The radiator top hose came off whilst on a motorway. I didn't have safe working space to try to sort it and in any case didn't have any water with me to refill. It came off three other times but I was able to fix it myself.
(2) Ran out of fuel on the side of the motorway with 21 miles still showing on the range. Still a problem.
(3) Problems with engine cutting out when gear engaged.
(4) In Germany. Similar problem to above.
I have also had a rear wheel bearing fail and numerous other problems with the bike (rocker cover oil leak, faulty chain, premature front disc wear, tank panel splits, tyre pressure monitor problems, etc.) and have sent a seven-page letter to BMW with all the details.
