We have just received a recall notice to check the front disk fixing bolts on our F650gs. Its nice to know BMW take safety so seriously, the bike is almost three years old now.

Hi Sooty,
I think I had a this recall done about a year and a half ago, but can't be sure there have been so many!

I got my letter for my old 650, 09 plate, however I changed it for an 800 and just wondering if the 800 needs the re-call???

No recall on the F800gs yet, the disks are fully floating and held in place with bobbins, not bolts.

Got mine here in Mexico just in time for them to order them for the 20,000km check. I am working on getting a new front disc under warranty because of corrosion on the disc and ABS sensor, not to mention the exhaust.
Well see if they will cough up on those. Watch this space.

My Wife's letter arrived yesterday here is Sheffield, I told her as she has a day off to get it to Rainbow.. But I think the -7 might have put her off and I got the evil look

It must be ...
... syncronicity ! Letter arrived in backlog of post; plus reassuring call from Ocean to say her disc bolts were changed in October (service) but this is yet a further change which will be done at next visit
Although looking out of the window, next visit could be March

Yep, received mine today, dont think it will be done for a while yet though, wait for snow/salt to go away 1st 
Got mine just before Xmas, nipped in to Rainbow in Rotherham asked him if it needed doing as they had fitted a new front disc and pads a week or so before and they said yep and did it straight away, always loved the service at Rainbow.

This is an update to the previous disc bolt recall.
The disc has to be removed. The paper washers between the disc and the wheel have to be removed & are not refitted, the disc is bolted back onto the wheel with new bolts & a slightly thicker wheel spacer is fitted to take up the clearance from the defunct washers.

Mrs Gringo's was done last week. it's also going to get new chain & sprockets as a recall (the broken chain was done as a warranty repair, not the rubbish chain recall we all quite rightly badgered BM into)
