BMW F800GS: 10000kms revision!

Went to BMW for the 10000kms revision. Besides the normal maintenance items such as oil, oil filter, etc... had 3 small issues that were fixed.


Engine gasket: BMW replaced the engine gasket (near the top of the cylinders) as it had a slight oil leak. BMW mentioned this was a known issue with a 2009 series that went out

Drive chain: There is a BMW campaign to fully replace the drive chain, it seems that some of them would break under stress.

Rear brake pads: It seems I need to get used to where the rear brake pedal is vs the Transalp. I seem to have my foot slightly on it permanently which caused premature wearing of the brake pads... Will take into account for future driving
