Hello everyone;
I bought 2021 S1000XR and took it in for the 6K service at my local BMW dealership. The tech told me that the Side Stand is bent. I was stunned about this since I have never had this issue in 35 years of riding motorcycles. I don't mount my motorcycle standing on the footrest with the side stand on, so no excessive weight is put on the side stand. I also don't ride with passengers or have excessive weight. I asked the service department to try to run it through the warranty, as to me, is clearly a defective part and BMW declined the claim.
Has anyone experienced a bent side stand on a BMW? How can I escalate this problem with BMW?
Thank you!
