Hello,
I am looking to purchase a BMW F800S. 2007. With 17000kms.
I have read a lot of mixed reviews. A lot of good ones. The bad ones are mainly about the rear wheel axle bearings and shaft. Seemingly there was a problem with a number of these bikes, where the belt would slip 2-3mm. In some small cases the real wheel would lock up. You eventually need to replace the bearings and shaft.
I am wondering does anyone have any actual experience in owning one of these bikes, if so any feedback would be great. I know you read a lot of stuff online and a "small" problem , could seem like a huge problem online so I would love to hear from anyone who has had one of these bikes.
I am very keen on it. I just have no experience with BMW's. I have always had Japanese bikes.
