My 2006 GS requires a new rear disc, I assume it's a straight fwd job but how much are BMW charging for the disc & should I replace the bolts too?

Thank you
BMW prices....
Take a look at sherlocks, motorworks or Steptoe's site but about £60 ish should do it. Pattern, not genuine.
Replace the bolts at the same time. Originals will possibly turn to cheese when you undo them.
You will need a LONG torx bit to reach the bolts though - one at a time via the provided recess under the final drive unit.

take the rear wheel off,easy job the torque bolts came out fine when i replaced mine ,there is a cut out on the final drive so you can get your long torque in ,i just reused the same bolts with a bit of thread lock ,no problems,mine was shagged after the ferodo came of one of the pads,hence metal on metal,the guys at motorworks said it was a comon thing with the semi linked brakes,if i remember corectly i think it was about eight quid for a good second hand disk and a new set of double h sintered pads.
Usea hot air gun or hairdryer to pre-heat the fingers on the alloy disk carrier before undoing the disk retaining bolts. They have been known to crack at the threads, requiring a new alloy hub at £112 plus vat. DAMHIK.

I was quoted £225 BMW pounds. Bought one from Steptoe for £70 but when I looked at the job, I just knew I'd screw it up (pathetic, I know) so I took it to Adventure Bike Warehouse...they changed the pads, too and charged a lot less than £155
