So i have about 2k miles on my R18 Classic...
Since I bought it, i get two distinct noises:
I recently moved to the Tampa Bay area and my local BMW dealer took it once for my initial service, looked into the issue and said they heard nothing.
Took it again at my insistance (and they are a REALLY GOOD bunch of guys) but heard nothing special again.
So I called BMW and they supported me bringing back yet again to my Tampa dealer who could not hear the noise.
Can't hear it, can't fix it. I get that. But my Lord I hear both noises so loud sometimes its hard to hear the engine.
Well, I have to tell you...I get a whistling noise out of my front end hardware (mounting brackets? Windshield?) I honestly can't pin it down but it is extremely noticeable.
I have covered my entire front end in cellophane hoping to isolate the issue which i was unsuccessful at doing.
The squealing sound actually sounds like a break retaining clip on my front ABS...it used to be applying the break did not make it go away, but recently it has.
IS ANYONE ELSE experiencing similar issues? WHISTLING and SQUEALING?
BMW still gets high praise and a referral when people ask me how is the bike.
But my patience is wearing thin and this week I may just take apart my front breaks...
Anybody? ANYBODY?
Since I bought it, i get two distinct noises:
- I get a whistling noise which sounds like it comes from my windshield mounting hardware.
- I also get a squealing noise that comes from somewhere around my front ABS.
