XXXX said:After having owned a 1200GS for 8 years, I will never own a BMW shaft-system bike again. This "low maintanence" feature ended up costing me $1500+ and I traded it in last year after yet more problems were discovered.

...Many threads on FD failures. Have the wonderous Bavarian engineers got this sorted out yet? If I was to buy a '15, '16, '17 R1200, would I still be worrying about what seems to be an inordinate amount of driveshaft / FD issues? I realize they may be over-represented here and that many members ride hundreds of K's miles with no problems. Just wondering if y'all think this problem has gone away...
