BMW R 1300 GS: Dicey situation! The starter relay problem

[@TheStammeringBiker]

This happened to mine, borderline caught fire when washing it, been with the dealer for almost 2 weeks now…

Bmw is good at quickly identifying these types of issues and fixing them from my experience. Here in Australia even outside of warranty as long as you service with them.

Bmw est décevant. Pour rester poli. Le business passe avant la qualité, voir la sécurité, et je vous parle pas du prix des pièces. 1 exemple: un alternateur qui avant était INCREVABLE, est devenu en moins de 10 ans du consommable. Mais à 1000 balles la bobine + 10h00 de main d'œuvre pour le changer, là, c'est carrément de l'escroquerie. Vous me dégoûte, et j'en suis à ma 4eme BM...

「根據說明，應該是繼電器的線圈絕緣漆品質極差，造成繼電器的「漆包線」線圈「層間短路」， 此外，摩托車靜態中也會起火？摩托車電源鑰匙沒啟動也會起火？那就是摩托車的線路設計的問題了，是吧？這也就是犯了低級錯誤，荒唐啊！」 BMW's first statement at the time: "On November 9, 2023, as part of a service campaign (BMW R 1300 GS, check starter relay and replace if necessary), a temporary delivery ban was imposed for the affected vehicles, which was linked to the implementation of this technical campaign The reason for this action is isolated damage to the plastic coating of the starter relay during initial installation. This can cause moisture to enter and lead to failure of the starter relay."
