Someone please give me the latest correct info.
My Brother in law has just bought a 2015 1200GS and i want to make sure he gets the right info so that he can confidently come riding off road terrain with us on 990's,1190's, S10's
Bike still has the stock non braced suspension tops
I would hate for him to have accident because of something that could of been avoided.
The bike needs to go for a check by BMW.
They will tell him if his bike is suffering from the issue, i.e. ride and wait till we have the fix available, or stop riding immediately.
The safety check is likely to find two things:
- No problems, but the fix will be done once parts are available.
- Problem started. The bike needs new fork stanchions and the fix.
The BMW dealer will communicate the above to the owner.
It is easy to keep an eye on them anyway. Just roll the rubbers down on the stanchions, or cut them off and then watch for a gap developing.
I ride my GS on a daily basis. I will take it for the check tomorrow.
