MY MOTORCYCLE HAD A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE GEARBOX. THE DEALER DECIDED IT WAS NOT SAFE TO RIDE THE BIKE, THAT I SHOULD LEAVE IT UNTIL BMW COMES WITH A SOLUTION. I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2019 K1600 GTL SITTING IN SERVICE WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. THE BIKE IS WITH EUROCYCLES OF DAYTONA. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED AT THE TIME WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER NOTICES TH SOUND COING FROM THE GEARBOX. THIS IS OART OF THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION RECALL. I'VE SPOKEN TO BMW BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION.
