Stopped by my dealer today to install another set of Dunlop RS III tires and a minor service before leaving on another trip this weekend. Last week when at the dealer I mentioned the clutch micro switch which allows one to pull in the clutch when in gear was not working so bike had to be in neutral to start. As well mentioned the plastic holding the 2 female spade connectors on the low beam side had fallen apart. Service manager ordered both parts and today they installed the new dual micro switches (clutch and cruise control) as well as the repair plug 2-pin kit BMW sells for just this purpose. The repair plug kit includes the plug end, short wiring and 2 posi-taps. Both these parts are right from BMW. Both the micro switches and repair plug kit and one hour of labor was billed to the Extended Warranty company.
Set of dual micro switches BMW part number 32728537609 - $86.76
Repair plug 2-pin BMW part number 83300444440 - $38.79
1 Hour Labor - $119.00
After the service was completed I discussed with the service manager anything I should be considering with the bike getting up in mileage. He mentioned at some point might want to think about suspension system but until I experience a real need ride with what you have. He also brought up the fact they are beginning to replace drive shafts and rear ends on some R1200RT water cooled models due to failure but they have no experience with the RS model as none have that mileage on them. Said he thought the extended warranty would cover this area if it failed so could just ride until or if it did fail or consider doing a preventative replacement at my expense. I'll take a chance it will last another bunch of miles. In 5 - 6 weeks I'll be in for another service and tire change so service advisor and I can discuss more at that time.
