"Scary moment on the m8 just outside Glasgow this evening. 70mph, middle lane cruising along and bang!
Terminal final drive failure. Managed to keep control and get to the hard shoulder to avoid being mown down. Never seen anything like it before. Anyone had this problem? 2013 R1200GSW, 6200 miles, serviced and MOT'd by BMW motorrad East Kilbride on the 10th February 2016.Scary moment on the m8 just outside Glasgow this evening. 70mph, middle lane cruising along and bang!

si partea buna daca iei moto de noua :
"Update - got to say I've had excellent service from Douglas Park BMW Motorrad East Kilbride, Scotland.
They picked up the bike next day, their communication has been excellent throughout and a full investigation is underway as to the cause. I'll update on final conclusion when all is said and done. Shaft drive is being returned to BMW Germany via their 'PUMA' internal fast track investigation service. BMW very quickly authorised full replacement of all parts in anyway affected by the incident and provided me with a brand new R1200RS to use whilst my GS is off the road."
