My 2014 BMW R1200RT recently had an alternator failure. After the repair by a very qualified BMW dealership, I noticed an increased engine vibration that did not exist before the repair. The bike has 116,000 miles, which should not matter since the vibrations didn't exist before the alternator repair. This bike has seen an average oil change every 3000 miles throughout its life and was constantly maintained by BMW mechanics.
I noticed the increased vibrations in the handlebars and mirrors (standard and handlebar mirrors) when the RPM is higher than 2,500. It does not matter if I ride the bike or not. Even the seat and the rear pannier guards are vibrating. The mechanics already made various clutch adjustments. It slightly reduced the engine vibrations, but it is not even come close to the vibration levels before the alternator repair.
Has anybody encountered a similar issue? After how many miles was the repair done, and how was the issue fixed? I am sure that I am not the only person with an alternator failure.
Any community input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
P.S. Feel free to send me a private message if you feel more comfortable.
