what problems are there with the 2008 gs1200

[dommiek]

I'm looking at buying an 08 12gs, I'm concerned about reliability issues and there's so much information on this site...i'm confused.
I know about the fuel pump controller, are there any other problems to look out for?

EWS ring (immobiliser) - need to check it's the latest version - the correct part number is lurking on the site somewhere.

You're buying a brand new bike that comes with a 2 year warranty.

The only thing you need to look out for is that your mobile phone has charge.

beware of 'the bling'
