I bought a 2018 R1200GS, mileage about 58,000 miles. What seems to be this model's record with the notorious final drive failures?
I had one seize on the shaft while under warranty on my 2016RT.
The dealer replaced the entire header/cat/flap as a single unit as there is no way to individually replace the flap.
Now that is not what you call excellence in design.
It certainly wasn't designed for serviceability. I don't understand why they didn't make that flap more serviceable. It seems way overkill to have to replace the headers, cat and flap just to replace a faulty flap. Oh well, not much I can do about it. Is there an annual service one can do to limit the possibility of that flap freezing? Or, do we all just roll the dice and hope for the best?
