Bubba, The R1200ST has 95360 miles. I have to report that there has been a bad vibration in the footpegs and the bikes engine hasn't been smooth as of late. The most disturbing thing has been that the mobil1 oil after being changed and a quick run up the mountain becomes instantly dark. But the thing that bothers me the most is that the oil has copper looking metal flakes and small metal chunks probably indicating crank bearing failure.

BMW has been notified and I'm anxious to see if my Pinnacle extended warrenty will cover. I hope to hear from them tomorrow. This was discussed also at the Falling Leaf and will probably be a seperate post later on when I hear back from them.
