Hi all, just wondering where the BMW riders here have their bikes serviced. I am new to BMW and after reading some of the other posts in the forum I am wondering where the best place to have a BMW bike serviced. It is not my intention of starting yet another thread bashing the service centres, I think there has been enough of that so if possible I would like to keep it to constructive advice only about positive experiences. I am located in Chiang Mai but am willing to travel for some of the work to be done.
For reference the work I am referring to is:
1. Brake light not working, I have exhausted my mechanical skills trying to figure this one out, I though it would be something simple like a burnt bulb or a fuse. Turns out the light is fine and BMW uses electronic fuses so something greater is at work here.
2. ABS kill button does not seem to work, ABS works fine but won't turn off.
3. Clutch will probably need replacing sometime in the not so distant future. I can feel it slipping under hard throttle at high RPM. I hear this is a common problem with this bike if the clutch gets contaminated with oil. I think I will go with the touratech oil resistant clutch to prevent this in the future but need to find someone qualified to put it in. For reference I am talking about a Boxer twin so replacing the clutch is much more work than it would be on a parallel twin.
Thanks guys, any hints tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
