Downside : recall on the already delivered LC's in Germany for the brake hoses and gabelbrücke (fork bridge ?)

This could mean a slight delay (still not 100% sure) in delivery for the European market ::

Source ?

I call bullshit/internet rumor

Thinking the same, hence my 'fact or fancy' title (maybe trying to wind up Nutty a little)

That's not very sporting.

Where does it say anything about brake hoses/forks?

The bikes were not recalled...they had their software updated prior to going to any customers....no need to scaremonger

Indeed, a software update to ensure that when the ASC was turned off in Enduro pro mode, the warning light illuminated when restarting. This was the Canadian 'recall' issued ages ago!

 

[Yellow Peril]

Thought the canadian one was an oil pressure build up?

Not quite, all UK bikes have been recalled today due to a front suspension issue. 3 nominated dealers will be carrying out the work tomorrow ready for launch nights/weekend deliveries.

I'm thinking along the same lines tbh.

It's simply not cricket is it.

Tell you what, if anyone is due to collect a bike on Sat or Sunday why don't you go into your dealer tomorrow to view your bike.

Can you support these findings for us all to read? At the moment your argument is a bit like me saying that that shiny thing in the sky has squared off corners.

Yes, like I mentioned above, please go to your dealer tomorrow and ask to view your bike or even better go to Wollaston BMW Northampton from 8am tomorrow (fri) and you will see dealers from all over the country having bikes updated.
