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:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/

Search for 'BMW Motorcycles' and 'R Series' - lists all recalls.
Good luck.
2000 BMW R1100s

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. :D

Al :wink:
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works .....

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

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

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 .
R1100s project
R1150gs daily tool
RVF400 track tool and general sexy bike
CB900 dohc , very on going project!

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!
