After following the posts about the timing chain tension and the guard I decided I needed to take action.
Since I have 33k miles the oiler for the tension problem was not recommended so it looked like the only fix I could do was the chain guard. So I was ready to buy the parts needed but thought I would check for any recalls needed on my bike first.
Well the suspension recall (Dec10) hadn't been done yet so why not drop by BMW and ask what needed to be done to get my bike up to snuff.
So Saturday I talked with the service rep and took the bike in today.
Seems although BMW will not fix the tension problem my extneded warranty would. :teeth
They also have a chain guard so slap that in there while they are at it. Along with required maintenance, brake bleed, coolant change, oil change (needs done while they are in there) it looks like I shouldn't be hit too hard money wise (vs paying for the chain fix).
Lets hope it all works out. :clap:
Just got off the phone with SJ BMW....My cost for all this...$219
Not bad considering I'll have a new chain out of all this and some peace of mind.
