OT: 2007 R1200GS Wheel Flange Recall
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2015 8:42 pm
Received today (despite the date on the header).

It seems that the rear drive flange on 2007 R12GS's may be prone to failure. Luckily I changed the bike for a new Liquid-Cooled one in November last year.
Even got chitty from DLVA to prove that they know it 'aint mine anymore.
The really exasperating part is that I bought my new GS at my local BMW Motorrad dealer and part-exchanged the bike in question at the same place.
So, the take-away here is that systems which you assume to be inter-connected are clearly not.
