Interesting....

I took delivery of a new R1200GS last week and it stalled on the way home when I down shifted as a car turned left. I only realised when I let the clutch back out the rear wheel locked before the engine basically bump started. I thought it was something daft I'd done and put it out of my mind.

However tonight whilst trying to put a few more miles on it (up to a grand total of 120!) it cut out on down shifting about 5 times to the point where it was getting a bit dangerous to ride. I'm planning on taking it back to the dealer first thing tomorrow and leaving it with them but at least it looks like there's a genuine reason with a fix.

The only other thing I've noticed is that the bike seems sluggish and 'lumpy' compared to the demo bike I tried but they can give it a proper going over. It might just be because it's new (never had a new bike before) or it might be my paranoia!

there is about 5 different posts in here regarding this recall. maybe search 2010 recall and you will see them all and what the work is about.

Cheers very muchly for that The problems experienced by davnjud are exactly like mine - cutting out, rough running , down on power etc.

Thankfully it looks like a known issue now so back to CW's in Dorch tomorrow.

It takes a bit of the shine off having a nice new toy but oddly there's some comfort in knowing that others have had the same issue.

Cam timing jobbie. Bike was fine before and no different after

Took it in today and it now seems sorted I need to put a few more miles on it to be sure but on the way home it seemed like a new bike. Oh wait, it is a new bike! Ok a different new bike that works.

The dealer said there were two parts to the mod - a retarding of the ignition by 4 degrees and the new cam sensor/alignment. They were under the impression it was to sort out poor idling and performance at low revs and not the cutting out but the symptoms I had were exactly the same as the others affected.

Right, where's my Magners!
