Having read this thread I went out to check the "flange" on my 2004 12GS... thankfully no probs... but in the process I noticed that the rear pads are completely worn..... can anyone recommend a replacement set. Thanks in advance
that doesn't seem likely. cracks come from the disc mounting holes, and are nowhere near the wheel mount bolts.
does this only affect early models or do i have to take my 06 wheel off?
Martin, the disks are held in by loctite as standard.
When I get the new flange I'll compare it with the older style part on the bike and if obviously different I'll get my head around the photobucket thing and do a write up.
BMW have obviously changed the part for some reason unless they just change part numbers due to a difference in their suppliers.Maybe they have done a design improvement along the way ??

part now heating in the oven,
....How much will the new flange set us back?
........Either way, a new (improved?) flange should sort it for £133 and I'm care-free once more.
