Hier ein nachricht wie mein k1200r gestorben ist, in English weil in Deutsch meine grammatik fehlt.
I am writing this since maybe it will help you in the case you are also driving with a bad starting hot engine for a while without his / her BMW dealer investigating the cause and taking proper measures.
After a club tour last sunday I drove home and was riding about 120 / 130 kmpu on the highway (engine was running superb) when I noticed the back of my motorcylcle wiggeling.
After a while it became worse and I had to get off the high way but was afraid to corner since it wiggled heavily.
So I stopped the motorcylcle on the emergency lane, stalled the engine and looked at the rear tire wich was flat.
I tried to start the engine, to walk with the motorcycle in first gear to a parking space off the highway but it wouldn't start (this is common since it wouldn't start with a hot engine for almost 2 years). So after a while I made it to a parking space and called for help.
About 15 minutes later Itried to start again, since after cooling down the engine always start, and yes it did, but o my god
, a heavy rattling noise from the engine made me stall it immidiately 
.The motorcycle was picked up and delivered at my BMW dealer. They inspected the engine and came to the conclusion;
- drivetrain chain guiding strip broken.
- drivetrain chain had jumped to another teeth on both camshaft sprockets (off timing) with probably deformed valves (this has still to be investigated).
- Dealer proposed to startup a coulance procedure (koulanz prozedure) before continuing since they had never had this kind of defect before.
I am curious what will be the outcome.
