Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hello Kitty" data-source="post: 987061" data-attributes="member: 19029">Of course, Skooter is correct on the warranty.  But I suspect Cletha is past 36K.  Agree that lack of warning is scary.  Similar failure on a borrowed K1200GT that a friend rode to Spokane to greet me in 2009.  Happened in an Indian Reservation in eastern Montana.  However, he noticed the heating up and pulled over.  Still a very costly tow (to Sturgis) and repair.  Not to mention the flights for him to get home and the owner to get back to get it. And of course all the other BS and drama that goes along with the 3 riders and 2 bikes on the side of the road.Now, depending on the situation, BMW does sometimes step up in these kinds of cases.  I think it really depends on the service manager at the dealership.  Best wishes to Cletha and I hope things work out at least reasonably satisfactorily.  I'll tell you, the wee strom aint bad at all.  Def needs a seat and she'd probably want to lower it, but it really performed quite well on my little adventure.   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
