What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

[Cormanus]

I hope you've fixed that BMW, Gone. Taken with rdprdp01's recent post on collecting spare parts for the future, it's a reminder that there's nothing for nothing. All the modern technology and electronics make for smoother, more comfortable riding, but there's more to go wrong and a likelihood that a broken part may be irreplaceable.

I might get ready for the future and buy a walking frame. I can't see too much that can go wrong with them!

Thanks, Cormanus. I amended my maintenance schedule and my initial bike modification list to include disconnecting the throttle cables, cleaning the contacts and securing the connections tightly. This has happened on two of our BMWs now, and thankfully neither incident affected a critical delivery. Both were rectified by a Honda.

Reminds of the BMW with a looming $2800 ABS module failure that I sold in 2019 to buy my thankfully bullet-proof CB1100.
