The front ESA strut (Telelever front suspension) of my bike developed a leak. With only 20 days left for the trip, procuring the part on time turned into a stressful race against the clock. The ride was something I had been looking forward to and preparing for a long time, and this sudden setback was indeed a shock.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/WhatsApp%20Image%2020230902%20at%2011.56.24_867a60c0.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/WhatsApp%20Image%2020230902%20at%2011.56.34_9164a5aa.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the required part was already in transit from BMW Germany. A rush order was created to expedite the process. The wait was nerve-wracking, but luck was on my side. The part arrived exactly 6 days before the start of the trip.<\/p>\n<h2>The Relief<\/h2>\n<p>The new part was promptly installed, replacing the faulty one. Thanks to the extended warranty from BMW, the replacement was covered under warranty. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>With the major issue resolved, I decided to go a step further to ensure my bike was in perfect condition for the tough journey ahead. I opted for a full annual service for my bike. The service cost me Rs. 17184\/-, which included an oil change and air filter replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>Ready to Roll<\/h2>\n<p>With all hurdles crossed and my bike in top-notch condition, I am now all set for the ride. It\u2019s going to be challenging, but with my trusty bike by my side, I\u2019m ready to conquer both perfect asphalt and extreme off-road terrains covering 11 States, 1 Union Territory and 1 country (Nepal). I will write a separate post regarding the trip.<\/p>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/faced-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-my-7000-km-trip-my-bmw-r1250gs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ride was something I had been looking forward to and preparing for a long time, and this sudden setback<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Faced an unexpected hurdle ahead of my 7,000 km trip on my BMW R1250GS - AutoMotoBuzz.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-bmw-r1250gs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Faced an unexpected hurdle ahead of my 7,000 km trip on my BMW R1250GS - AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The ride was something I had been looking forward to and preparing for a long time, and this sudden setback\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-bmw-r1250gs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-11-23T08:48:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-BMW-R1250GS-.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-bmw-r1250gs\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-bmw-r1250gs\/\",\"name\":\"Faced an unexpected hurdle ahead of my 7,000 km trip on my BMW R1250GS - AutoMotoBuzz.com\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-11-23T08:48:56+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-11-23T08:48:56+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/74db1979fe71b5ea01513ec1ce5bc609\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-bmw-r1250gs\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-bmw-r1250gs\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/faced-an-unexpected-hurdle-ahead-of-my-7000-km-trip-on-my-bmw-r1250gs\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"News &amp;
