Hi, I have a new diff  for sale which I imported from England. It can't fit it because it is for a 2010 model . It has 2 small marks on it from handling by the courier and the post office.   I want to sell it for R9000 if anyone needs one? I can't post any pictures because they are over 1MB...

Thanks for the advice!! Will give it a try!!

Thank you for the info!!

Ek het 'n quote by Bavarian gekry en dit sou R5900 kos om die bearing te vervang. Jy moet dit maar verseker so vinnig as wat jy kan gaan doen want as die diff oppak is dit heelwat meer. Hoop jy kom reg!!

Thanks! I only want to get it fixed now and is still deciding if I want to sell it.

A GS shouldn't have a " sell by date"! That is why I bought into the GS brand! But like I said earlier, I have learned a few lessons!!

Hi Big DoM, I did speak to the guys at Acme and another supplier of second hand parts(info supplied by Bavarian) but they couldn't tell me how many km's any of the diffs did but the dealer also told me that he did look at the available diff at that time and weren't happy with them and told me...

Hi, I see a lot of critical responses and questions asked about my post. Here is some info for those who are interrested. -I have excepted that I will be paying for all the repairs but did expect BMW answer my questions. Here is some answers to some of the responses: -I did buy the bike 2nd...

Moondog, Taking a dump but will also be an active part of the forum. Only registered recently and have been reading some of the posts and decided that other GS owners should be informed of this. I think the guys with 1200 GS's should know about this problem so they can try and avoid this somehow.

Hello GS owners, A few weeks ago a posted my story of my GSA 1200 diff which had to be replaced on 20000km's. I e-mailed BMW Motorrad(as advised by Bavarian) and explained to them what happened and asked them two questions which concerned me about what happened. Up to now I haven't blamed...
