Even though from what I've read here it seems as though my 54 plate Gs1200 will not be involved in the campaign, as the local dealer has now closed how would I be informed if needed?

Contact any dealer and get them to check your bikes VIN number, they do it online and it shows up any outstanding items.
My bike chassis number falls between ZU58500 to ZU74499 the dealer has told me it is not affected????? Who is correct, Iam of to Germany in 3 weeks and don't want to break down.

for above - phone a different dealer and see what the answer is......
those that have had the ring replaced what part number was used? the 205 version???

Funnily enough....
I took my '07 1200GS in for it's 6,000 service and was asking about the ring. My details were checked and we saw on the screen that my bike wasn't included in the campaign (not that I was worried anyway).
As soon as the bike was on the lift, the ring went! They checked on screen again and it was now included in the campaign!!
Dealer says that there aren't many bikes to sort according to current stats. Said quite a few people were buying spares.
I haven't had any problems with the bike apart from this (and a wobbly mirror glass) and don't really expect to have any....left outside six weeks over Christmas when my leg was broken and started first go....so, no complaints.

Rang dealer again this morning they now say my bike needs to be done (03/07) they can't do it before the middle of July though 1.5 weeks after my trip to Germany
Hope it will be OK

Buy a spare then you know it'll be ok
Or ask the dealer if you can borrow one

There a great team at Ocean, can not do enough to help you
Yep before any one pipes up, I no they want me to spend even more money, just nice to have some customer care, unlike some places these days.

My '08 1200GS had it's 600 mile service yesterday and dealer had marked it down for EWS Antenna Recall, but looks like there is a supply problem. They will be sending out letters when they are able to do the work.
One thing to note my VIN details don't match those quoted on this thread so worth checkiing with your dealer

Well there was I think it was a shame for you guys to be experiencing this problem
I bought a low milage second hand 07 GSA just over a week ago. Been great to ride. Go out today, put the key in the ignition and "click"! Look at the dash and the red triangle is showing with "brake failure" on constantly. I am new to this so I am not sure what is going on. So I do it again and the same "click" and message. I am thinking it may be the battery, so putit on charge for a bit and turn the key again. This time multiple clicks and "EWS!" sign comes up. Try it again and I go back to one click and the brake message. Charge it a bit, multiple clicks and EWS! You get the idea........
I guess this is the EWS? and not some thing else? Either way bike won't go.....very disappointed indeed as this is my first BM and all my other bikes have been totally reliable!
Its still in warranty, so can I get it fixed at any dealer, as I am a distance from the dealer I purchased off of?

I think you may be right. Just went out and it turned over this time but did not fire and then the click, click again!
If it is the battery is it possible it could drain so quickly from Friday? No alarm on, but I wired in the sat nav last week and tapped the positive onto the lighter socket and negative to the battery. Thats the only hing I have changed since i bought it
