1250RS Software Version Thread

We never get software updates unless there's a problem.

I think I would do the same but only after reading the release notes to see what the software update is supposed to fix / improve / add. If the bike is not having any issues and the update for is something that is not important to me or the bike, then I'd skip it rather than risk introducing new bugs to the ECU.

Not patching firmware because you anecdotally aren't experiencing an observable issue seems foolish. While all patches can be assumed to be at least attempting to resolve existing issues, not all can be assumed to introduce new ones. It's not like BMW's firmware updates are a profit center; they're released because BMW engineering determined it was important enough.

If Windows hasn't blue screened on you last week does that mean you don't install updates this week? Do you look through the list of Windows updates and only select the ones you feel are important to you or your computer, or do you just let Microsoft install all available updates?
