So I came home from a 45 minute ride and parked the bike in the garage and went in to change and grab a drink. 20 minutes later I head back out to the garage and see a large yellow glob on the right side of the oil cooler shroud. I look up and there is a thin line of grease and large glob of grease on the pivot line of the steering head. Now to be honest I saw a thin line around the head before but never paid it any mind. So a quick call to the dealer to discuss and they said bring her in just to be safe. A call to roadside (and an 1.5 hour wait) and in she goes. The dealer took everything apart and didn't find any issues. So they cleaned out all the grease, put in the recommended amount of new grease and torqued to factory spec. The only thing they can think of is the factory put in too much grease! So far so good.
As an aside I asked for the latest firmware to be installed. It took over 14 hours! Bummer BMW won't tell the techs what was updated.
