From wednesday we can use our bikes again.

If your dealer can't service it because they're closed and you can't get a local shop/mechanic to do it for you.

I haven’t contacted them yet.

At present neither is possible, hence me saying do it yourself.

I will find out what is possible, or not, when I contact them.

Good luck with that.

your bike can be serviced anywhere (the government stopped dealerships from having exclusivity) as long as genuine makers parts are used, the warranty is still valid--that's the law.

That is indeed European Law.  And it has been the case for a great many years.
But as I pointed out in my reply #78, what the law says, and what happens in practise can be quite different.

Foccing el people. I just read zillion of posts here and I am none the wiser as to shall we do ride outs now or not? :lol

And probably none the wiser as to where to take your bike for a service. :lol

Well I've been taking full advantage of being able to use my bike my bike for leisure again. Just short of 100 miles on my MT09 on Wednesday, then another 70 on Thursday.
Took my sons Street Triple 675 R out on Friday for a short run , great brakes and suspension but uncomfortable as hell, bars are too flat and pegs too high, just felt sat on top of bike and not in it, much prefer my MT09.
Had a go on his KTM 390, if I had to commute through town / city I would choose something like this, nice punchy  torquey engine, very light and chuckable, so easy to ride .

Cheers Slappy.

For any BMW motorcycle that is due a 600 mile running-in service during this period we have extended the mileage allowance to 1,200 miles (2,000km).

I thought they might do something like that.  Not that keen on the idea.  I'll try and get of somebody tomorrow.

Bike will be getting serviced next Tuesday.

I love the look of that KTM. A really good looking bike, brilliant styling job to my eye.

The styling is brilliant I agree, too many of modern motorcycles seem to have been designed to the same templates, this template is for sports bikes, this template is for cruisers etc.
The only thing that really let's it down is the quality of the fasteners  the bike is one year old, garaged , only used in good weather and has only covered 1000 miles and the state of the fasteners is terrible. When get time I will replace them all with stainless from the local nut and bolt supplier.
