12GS 2007 Servo failure - any mechanic around South London?

[horudis82]

Hi guys,

My 12GS 2007 has started showing me the brake failure signal for the last few days and I can only use the residual braking.
I am not sure where the issue comes from, I start the bike and the servos work for a few seconds, until the moment I take off and the sign stays on constantly, then the servos are deactivated.
I know that my rear brake pads are worn out and I am going to change them this week-end, is this model equipped with a "worn out" sensor for the brakes?? Or is it completely unrelated?
I have tried resetting the sensor with the on/off procedure while holding the brake lever and pedal but it worked only once.

Any views would be welcome, and also if you know of any BMW garage around the south of London who can help it would be great, apart from BMW Battersea (I already know them, they serviced the bike two months ago at 36K miles).

Thanks!!

Pretty sure there's no pad wear signal to the control unit
I think there have been instances of brush wear in the servo motor

My 2008 has a worn pads sensor on the front only.

I thought they stopped fitting servos in 2006? My 2007 GS had the 'brake failure' light but it was a simple case of lubing the ABS motor....
