There are 'tricks' to bleed an iABS bike without the service computer, but you still need the special service funnel to do the job correctly. The F800 is proving to be as solid and reliable as the 'old school' BMWs, excepting some trivial teething pains regarding the charcoal canister and other 'simple stuff'.
yeah I've been following them closely...seen isolated instances of other issues... one, on adventure rider leaked oil from the head like crazy... but like I said... isolated bikes...

have they fixed the issue about the key ring antenna? that was another "major" issue I'd read about a while back... but haven't heard much as of late so I'm assuming a recall too care of that.

any idea how much the services cost for the F800? that's something I haven't read
