BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

So picked up new bike on Friday. 560 miles on clock. Service tomorrow. Faults already present...Sticky menu button and ESA fault warning. No a happy chappie. BUT...bike is amazing to ride.

What's the fault warning? When is it showing?

I have that fault too but haven't taken it up with the dealer yet.

Showing on ignition on.

That's normal and should flash until you move off.

Hasn't been on for the last 560 miles though. Manual says it's a fault. Hopefully dealer will sort it out tomorrow.

"Possible cause:
The ESA control unit has detected a fault. In this condition, the motorcycle has too much damping and is uncomfortable to drive, especially on roads in poor condition.
* Have the fault rectified as quickly as possible by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer."

Sorry I read ABS.  Too much wine with dinner.

So a brand new bike now with dealer and me taking a 3 hour train ride home.

Should have demanded a loan bike.  In UK BMW would supply a replacement vehicle. Did the dealer not offer you anything.

Would have been a car. Don't need another car, want to ride bike. Sob.
