the fuel pump mod is starting for the R12/K12/K13 series but as far as I'm aware the R11S aren't included in it, keep us in the loop when you find out what the issue is!

Take a look here:

Search for 'BMW Motorcycles' and 'R Series' - lists all recalls.
Good luck.

I appear to have got more detail in the recall letter, received today........

"Dear owner, The Dilithium Crystals on your BMW R1100s BoxerCup Replika (the fastest model) - May be reducing in capacity, earlier than the 30 year lifespan - built in to them.

Please return the bike to your dealer for recharging of the cyrstals - at your earliest convenience.

May the force be with you.

BMW Customer Care."

It's be a good idea if you all got it done before the Wales Weekend.

I was well aware of that..............

I should have thrown "I feel the need, the need for speed" in there too - to nail it

Ha, all you need is shorter throttle cable.

Dammit. Dilithium eh? Knew I should have bought the Cup model.

'Lesser' models just use a beryllium sphere.

Not all of 'em. I've got the mkII flux capacitor (fed by a Mr Fusion reactor)

"When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, we're gonna see some serious shit*"

Gotta love BMW

Basically their checking all there records for any and all outstanding campaigns, from braklines on 1150gs's to the throttle stub screws on 1100's , leaking fuel clips , possible sharp eges on boxercup belly pans. the hole nine yards
its not a "your about to die recall" just a "quality refinement" as they call it
call your local dealer with a reg number or better still the last 7 digits of your vin and they will tell you whats outstanding and with any luck get you booked in to get it all done ... maybe !
well if you fancy that ...

this all at the time of the fuel pump flange campaigns on every flipping thing else .

Didn't used to mind recalls / service actions when I was a tech for VW - the times were generally achievable (once you'd done a few) so you could make bonus. One I moved into warranty / service management I loved it when a recall came out - it was like free money. You would always wish for them during those quiet months. Unfortunately April isn't one of those!
