Fortunately, BMW stepped up and recalled all bikes worldwide to address the rear bearing issue. They also provided reimbursement to those owners who paid for their own repairs prior to the recall. If that was your situation, I hope BMW made you square before you sold the bike.

The other issue circulating the web is stator failure. The F800GS seems to suffer from this too. Reportedly, Rotax upgraded the stator design a few years ago and the newer bikes (including the GT's) haven't been as affected (so I hear), but there are stories of folks with the older bikes who were stranded with dead bikes. Did yours make it that far?
