It seems BMW are now having to swap out engines on 2013 GS models...

Oddly they seem to get a great reputation by building awful bikes and then going to great lengths to fix them, whereas Yamaha seem to get very little credit for building a dependable one.
I have also heard of a couple of 2013 GS' being replaced entirely in the UK - and we do not have any Lemon Law so it has to be pretty serious before you get another bike under UK warranty.
Makes you wonder how many more faults will develop as the bikes get older and higher mileage, I certainly would not want to buy one just after the warranty has run out ???
