I note the quote only refers to the R1200GS, not the R1200GSA where the position of the fuel pump controller remains unchanged.
Are we really expected to believe that there have been only 100 failures in Germany when we have already identified more than 220 failures in the UK amongst just the UKGSer community? I should think the REAL figure for Germany is more likely to be in excess of 400 failures.
I continue to be disappointed at BMW's inability to own up to the seriousness of this problem. Is Probst ill-informed, is he being economical with the truth, or is he deliberately lying?

Thanks but could you please provide the info requested
When did it happen: December 2007
Where: At Home
Rider name: sburny

Remedy: Replace by BMW road side service vehicle

After some digging I've found that the F range models appear to have a different design
controller (1614 7 708 312) from the 1200GS and as yet I've not identified any failures
- F800S, F800ST
- F800GS, F650GS twin
The fuel pump controller from the 1200GS/GSA (1614 7 694 999 and subsequently
1614 7 719 844) is fitted across the R and K ranges, e.g.
- HP2 Enduro, Sport and Megamoto
- R1200GS and GSA
- R1200RT, R1200ST, R1200R, R1200S
- K1200R, K1200GT
Update: as of August the 1200GS/GSA FPC part number is said to be 1614 7 720 776
