Cam timing has been ruled out as the cause. The tech stated the camshaft sproket was not correct and adjusted it.
At present they are just going through changing not random but possible parts they think it might relate to. Next will be fuel pump and O2 sensors.
I have asked if they can jack the bike up, strap it down and go though the gears accelerating. Service department think this won't work [but will ask the Tech] as they assume there will be insufficient load to generate the problem. I did wonder if transmission resistance might be enough to cause the problem. If they can't or won't do this will suggest they try the above but instead of jacking it up put it on their brake tester and do the same [I am not sure however if the BMW computer can data log in real time]. I have asked if they use a GS911 and could connect to the bike and then ride but they don't have one.
I have no other experience of dealer within say 200 miles but I am certain if I did take to another dealer they would go through the same process thus far hence I would be no further forward.
Thanks
