friend of mine put his 800 into the local BMW dealer last week to try and resolve intermittent problem where bike cuts out occasionally when riding. Technician refused to test ride it as he said the steering bearings were notching and needed to be replaced.
£620 later !!!!! new bearings and cause of cutting out was restriction in the breather hoses.
Personally I try and do most of the maintenance myself on my old Fazer, but as previously mentioned, a lot of the modern bikes (and cars) are linked up to electronic gadgets or need special tools...
