Just purchased my new 2021, 1290adventure s, It has a faulty rear disc manufacture fault, fitting on new compartment not flush, fuel tank filler cap is not square and is offset but about 3 %.
It has a fault on acceleration which is intermittent, wich the dealer has said is probably me ?, they say the quick shift is totally different to the old model . The problem also is the dealer is Gear4 and 80 miles away I can't keep running backwards and forwards and they will not drop my bike off even though it has only been less than a week that I have had it. They are expecting me to travel back on Saturday to collect it again and don't know if they have a replacement disc to fit ? and one is in order no good to me I want the bike now as I have already waited a month for it.
If this is not resolved I want my old 1290 back as it never had any issues, I'm so mad been told that the mechanic says there is nothing wrong with the bike and it is probably me ? I have been riding motorcycles for over 45 years.
Also is it me or has anyone else noticed the bike doesn't seem to have the same build quality as the old model and feels a bit cheep and stickers on tail piece (ready to race ) look cheap and nasty.
