[QUOTEOn my 2008 GSA the rear shock has leaked all over the swing arm at 21,000 miles. Shocks are not covered by warranty. [/QUOTE]
Wow. I'd be a little miffed I'd paid $20,000 for that bike in 2008, ridden 21,000 miles, had the rear shock start leaking all over, and then been told by BMW, "Sorry, we warrant everything on that bike but the tires, and those cheap shocks we put on the bikes. And yes, if you want some that will last more miles, you need to buy aftermarket shocks. The replacement OEMs will be just as short lived." I would think the owner of that dealership might be getting an earful.
I wonder if they are putting the same junk shocks on those $80,000 cars they sell? That's gotta hurt.
