Pidcocks told me its about a 90 min job. I have mine booked in for 1st Aug for mine to be done and a 'recall' on the brake hose/s
Had mine done today at Coopers (used to be Mill at Boldon)
They were expecting a rush on people wanting it done so they ordered a few as soon as it was known the 'campaign' was about to be launched. Booked it in midddle of last week.
When the job was done i was informed that my front shock was on a recall as well. Parts need to be ordered from Germany, but hopefully getting done next week.

EWS failure
My March 08 GSA suffered EWS failure today at 1505 miles. Not very impressed that it broke down and had to be relayed but even less impressed that BMW clearly know there is a problem with this component and can't be bothered to do a recall. BMW Assist responded very promptly and interestingly the driver said he done a similar recovery last week.
Come on BM surely you can do better than this!

My dealer SBW told me mine isn't one of the bikes that needs doing, its registered June 06? However today whilst changing up from 2nd to 3rd at around 6k revs the bike just cut out completely, no dash lights or anything working. Blank computer screen. Made a quick grab for the ignition key and turned on and off a couple of times and it switched back on with the EWS warning and bulb failure showing, both of which cleared. Is this the EWS problem?
It doesn't sound like the EWS problem, but there have been a few issues with the gear position sensor preventing the bike starting, perhaps that might be the issue with yours? The ECU should log the problem so a trip to the dealer to get their computer to check might be a good plan.
An EWS problem only happens on startup and not while the engine is running.
EWS Failure
Yep - according to the dealer that the bike has been relayed to, there is no recall on this part and I shouldn't believe what I read on the internet! Bike is going to be off the road for a week as the workshop is fully booked.
I have had no notification of a recall from BM and the bike had it's first service about 6 weeks ago so surely they would have done any recall work at that time...
