Video of Driveshaft failure on R1200 ... this one on an RS

[Lee]

• As I brought my bike in for service while still under warranty and BMW had no record of my bike being tested yet, they performed the test under warranty without asking (mine passed). If it was out of warranty or had already been tested, I would have to ask for it, and pay for 1.5 hr of service to perform the test.
  

That's a good change.
Last year or this spring I asked the Kansas City service manager and he said if a customer asked to have the drive shaft checked it was only warranty if the bike was a GS or Authority RT.
I was planning on having the shop check ours next year while they're still in warranty whether I had to pay for it or not.
1.5 hours sounds long for the test. They should be able to remove the driveshaft and lube it in that time.
