Only one valved has needed adjustment. My tech did a compression check recently and reported that the compression was at the upper level of the range. I been very happy with the bike. As a bonus free drive shafts for life I see no need to change rides.
...well, that kinda says it all.
I blew out the proximal u-joint on the cardon and fried my swing arm on my 2015 R1200 RS at 68,000 miles - 2 weeks before we got the letter that BMW would start paying for replacements. Prior to that, just a broken plastic bit that attaches the tail light (replaced by a metal screw). Prior to sale, a bad computer board - the source of siginificant parasitic drain on the battery - was identified and replaced by the dealership. Tractive suspension upgrade at ~35,000 miles.
2023 R1250 RS with no problems. New cardon at 27,000 miles after failed test. (I note the new cardon's slightly beefier.) A noted in other posts - plenty of bumps, shakes, and vibration, but so far, nothing has shaken loose. (I'm knocking on wood, as we speak..., קינעהאָרע and everything else.) (Tractive suspension day 1 - life's too short for less that optimal suspension.)
(This time, I listened to Darrell and got the extended warranty.)
