[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 987104, member: 118"] Will the water pump take over as BMW's Achilles heel from the final drive woes? Mi bastard step-pappy's K16GT had it's water pump replaced at 5k miles. Another local friend is on an extended trip with his wife on his K16GT in the southeast. A couple of days ago I get a text that his K16GT is staying in Greensboro, NC, at a BMW dealer while he and his wife fly to Quebec, their ultimate destination. Seems his water pump went kaput and is waiting for a replacement. This was his SECOND water pump to go bad. I believe he has about 20k miles on the bike so far. Last I heard from him: Seems those elite German engineers can't figure out how to build a decent water pump. Kind of scary considering the venerable boxer 1200GS, their most popular model worldwide will be going to water cooling for 2013! :blink: [/QUOTE]
