Default 2011 S1000RR still having problem with gearbox?

Hi,

I am new here and have just put my debt on BMW S1000RR. This is going to be my street ride. But after I search around for more info, Lot of issue was regarding gearbox show up.
Are those problem been addressed by BMW for 2011 or they are still selling it at customer risk?
I doubt if they did since my 320D also having gearbox issue and have them changed twice.

Cheers

It's like any vehicle, there are bound to be some problems. And when you read stuff on the internet, you will always find the bad and ugly. Plenty of folks have had great luck. In fact there was worry about the first ones being worse, but honestly I've had great luck... and in the US, mine was one of the first ones off the boat. The 3yr warranty should put your mind at ease!!
