While on my recent 3 week trip through 5 states, I had the low beam on my 16RS go out in Wyoming. I had the bmw dealer in Sturgis in my contacts in the event I needed something while in that area, so I called them from two days ride to their location. Explained the situation and I'd like to be able to bring the bike in first thing in the morning once in the area.
Natahn Ashworth, parts dept. said to be there on the following Monday at 8:45am, he'd get it in and I'd be back on the road in short order. Monday arrived, I talked with Nathan who took the fob and disappeared for a few minutes. Bike has been wheeled into their service area already. 20 minutes later, low beam is installed, bikes back out front ready to go.
I was directed to another counter and a soft spoken gent said the invoice came to 47.50. 47.50? Wow, I was expecting the bulb to cost that plus 30 minutes or so on the labor portion, somewhere around 150-200.00.
I told Nathan I was on this and a few other BMW motor forums and would throw up an aar on their service and taking care of a member who was a long distance from home on a trip.
If you're in the Sturgis area traveling or will be in their AO and need something worked on/fixed on your motor, I can recommend Sturgis Motorsports to get you back on the road without hesitation.
Still can't believe it was just 47.50 total for fitting me in on short notice and getting me back on the road in 20 minutes time. That's great service in my world.
