New R1200R is leaking oil...

[general.knowledge]

I'm pissed. I spent a huge deal on this 2018 R1200R out sale at a BMW dealer, but then after 20 km I stopped for a quick coffee fix. Disappointing that I see leaking oil. Dealer said I can't return it anymore so what can I do? What a darn waste.

That's a bummer and I feel your frustration. I would go back to the dealer and see if there's a solution to the problem. As for the oil leak, I'm thinking valve cover or oil filter housing gasket. They're not the world's most complicated jobs, so if you're savy with a tool, you could diy this

damn real kick in the gut after the excitement of a new ride, karma maybe?might be something simple like a loose drain plug or gasket, especially if it was just serviced for sale, take it to an independent BMW tech for a quick check, they're usually sharper than the sales floor guys.

BRING IT TO COURT! Kidding. That's barely 12 miles what the heck? Did you have anything on your agreement that it's non-returnable? They are still quite liable you know. If anything, ask them to check for free as it might be a simple issue anyway.
