hhmmm... wondering if the underseat exhaust on a "S" can be mated onto a GS....

Underseat exhaust more suitable for bikes with firmer suspension because they take up the space above the rear wheel, for our GS, a couple of hard bounce and it'll wack the end cans.

To all the beemer owners here. Reading your threads is really poison even to non beemer owners lest to say non-GS owners hahaha. Just need to find out more from you guys:

 

Is there anything that local shops like Stamford/Bike Connection/Mtech CAN'T do and only PML can do in terms of servicing?

 

I am asking this due to the 'fact' that PML charges 'extra' for bikes non bought under PML. ie parallel imported beemers. Just wanna keep my options open even for 'non-PML' beemers.

 

So assuming your beemer is a PML bike, does doing servicing at Stamford, Mtech etc void the warranty? Say you do brake pad change, TB balancing etc and then go back to PML for 20000km servicing.

 

When the beemer is out of the warranty period, is there still a PML price and NON-PML price for servicing? Taking SDR's mystic for eg. Say you go PML only for the major servicing like once in 2-3 years...does that still count as PML-maintained bike?

 

Always wanted a beemer but local beemer agent seems to be monopolising and not 'up to standard' as claimed by many of you. And you are paying top dollar for this machine and not getting the least reasonable service expected of an agent. Yamaha HL is pretty good being the local Yamaha agent, hence I went for my TDM.

hmm... barracuda if u tokin bout the all the 1100s goin to outside workshop to do should not be a prob cause im not seen a 1100 that stamford cannot fix(guys care to comment bout other shops) cause the bike has veri little n basic electronics so relatively the onli problems on the 1100s r mechanical(1150 owners care to share ur experience) yah agreeded P*L mark up the prices too much n the service they provide is like sh*t frm my frens whom hav gone there to service their bikes (me, i service my bike at stamford n i belive m-tech can do a better job than P*L)

the 1200s may pose a problem as they r all running on cam lines same technology as in cars where all the wirings n electronics run in a single wire loom so the bike is pretty electronic unless outside workshops r able to get their hands on the dianogstic tools then P*L can be considered gd as dead

 

as for me i dun mind my bike not being a P*L serviced bike as long as its well maintained with receipts to support my claims when i sell my bike the owner will c for himself. yah heard that non P*L bikes r charged abit higher for servicing there(care to comment guys??)

[Guest koma]

eh cyclop the FF series is driving lamps or fog lamps?? anyway u intersted in the FF200s?? u can find in the link below hope tis helps

Whoa lao..Koma....whole paragraph, only got one 'full stop'

Use ABS once in a while, otherwise will spoil, u know?

 

Barracuda, myself being a new BM owner, I do not have experience sending my bike for servicing elsewhere yet. So far, I sent my bike back to PML for service once already. Both my front and rear tyres, I changed elsewhere, New Tech. My 1st (poisoned) accesorry, fix at MTech. In my opinion, it's the people working/handling our bike at PML that turns us off/make us want to go back. Like SDR said, if they improve their service (like give u a call when ur parts arrive), or have someone replaced, then he will stick to PML. I more or less agree with it. I feel that with the money they charge, they could've been more helpful and forthcoming a little bit. Not try to be sneaky abt what they do to your bike or tell us things like 'you-don't-tell-us-so-we-don't-do-loh'. Yeah lah, they can't satisfy everybody coz some ppl like to take charge- dun want ppl to tell them this and that. But if there's somebody like me who tell u right from the beginning that I'm a new rider, I would appreciate it if you can tell me a thing or two abt my bike. When things happen and u tell me I didn't ask them to check, so they didn't check - pretty much leave me feeling I'm-on-my-own. If they had been a bit more tactful, I may have felt differently now.

Hey guys, a thought just came to my mind, do you think PML folks read this forum?

Maybe they shd come out and say hi to all of us if they are.

If they're sincere abt their biz, they shd take all this as constructive criticisms.

[barracuda]

Came from the ducati side previously as well...at least the agent was still...ok. Although sometimes like beemer agent. Seems like the premium brands have this kind of 'problems'. HL has been rather impressive for me. At least they are accountable for a larger market share in SGP motorbike industry. Hence probably explains why.

 

I too expect a minimum standard from an agent. It sucks to know beemer agent is like that now. I am glad HL is ok. Suzuki agent also have come under fire for poor support. Honda is so so ok.

 

How 'electronic' is the 1150GS? still NEED P?L's million dollar mumbo jumbo electronic komputer? Like SDR, I dun mind paying for good service even if it NON-P?L as long as they can do the job rite.

 

I have yet to see a dual spark 1150GS launched by BMW in 2003. Did P?L ever bring in this edition? Also dun see them going out on the classifieds scene.

 

Am I right to say spare parts are still LL for all beemers? Have no choice but P?L? Even Stamford etc gets from them?

Don't think so leh...... Anyway, me not big fan of underseat exhaust, think they are more fashion than function.... http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/bluduh.gif

I prefer side exhaust, keeps the weight low, one on each side even better, better symmetry.....

I think the earlier models shouldn't be a problem. Its only the new ones which utilise Can Bus technology that might be a challenge if you have an electronic/control issue. You'll need the diagnostic kit to troubleshoot the fault. I don't think the other shops will invest in such a tool. Mechanical work shouldn't be an issue.
