New C 600 Sport Fork seal failure

[tmaxrobbo]

So.................. My 19 mile C600 sport nearside Fork seal has blown , oil all over the Caliper , anyone else had this? I know the warranty will cover it , is it a reason to reject the bike , picked it up Friday . Sold my T Max and GSA to have one bike to do it all , now it won't !! What are my options? Cheers Chaps

I would doubt you could reject it as you have to give them a chance to resolve the issue. It is an easy repair, but I would be looking for a free service for your inconvenience.

That was my thinking Cheers , and throw in an Akra

I guess every bike is subject to component manufacturing failures. Very Probably just a one off. But keep a record, just in case it starts having lots of failures.......

Bet no one has ever had a fork seal blow on a Tmax @ 19 miles! I had a weep after 470000 !! on my mk1.
Will be interesting to see how good the engine is after £47000 my old Tmax was reliable and went like the wind !

PS I love the look of the c600 very cool!!!

Yes, weigh it in and buy my much cheaper faster SRV

Just hope that's it mate and not the start of a catalogue of grief, perks of being a front runner dude been there a few times

What do you expect from Taiwanese shite?

I had a battery and rectifier on a k7 burgman with just under 40 miles on the clock . Now that was a poorly made heap of shite

So you keep saying, repeatedly. The engine of the BMW is made in Taiwan, and I'm no engineer, but I'm pretty sure the fork seal isn't part of the engine.

Maybe that's why it failed! The decision to make the fork seal an integral part of the engine was always going to be controversial!
