I am considering purchasing a used BMW K 1200 Lt, but i am little concerned about what i have heard regarding maintenance costs.
thanks
This past generation of BMW bikes have been plagued with well-documented final drive failures. Earlier K and R models with permanently sealed ("no maintenance for life!") were the most susceptible. A few years ago, BMW put a drain plug in the final drive (no admission of the problem, "just 'cause we felt like it.") and the number of drive failures seemed to lessen, but is still an issue. Check the bike's history and talk frankly with the dealer.
They are great bikes, but they can be expensive.
