Hi guys back on again after a 9 year lay off after my last K1200s got destroyed by a mad Frenchman. Anyway got myself a 2005 K1200S for a knock down price .... well it was silly not too, went to Clark BMW for a new clutch price....... excuse me sir why are you on the floor, lol anyway turns out there were 3 recaps on my bike , rear wheel flange, cam chain tensioner and guide, to be retrofitted, and fuel tank pump replacement. Been going on for 2 years now in the US of A originally the small crack in the plastic at the bottom of the fuel tank was repaired with a spring clip to draw the cracked plastic ridge together, but that's been condemned in the US of A, so world wide recap, to rectified problem. Requires new fuel pump ect ECT ECT. Can't get the parts in the UK and Europe ...... because they are all going yo the US of A 1st ....... why I hear you ask ....? Well as the technicians told me.... they just take your ass to court, but in the UK we just moan,,,, OH and the tech told me get a set of clutch plates as we are in that side of the engine to do the cam chain tensioner, save you having to buy the stretch bolts and gasket later, . So long shot new clutch fitted and chain guide and tensioner, rear wheel flange changed to a header grade of ALLOY, but bike still in bits because BMW waiting on stock of fuel pumps ect,they say another month or so, recall for this work just started in the last few months, if your not sure just pop down to your local BMW dealer , give them your reg number and they will let you know if there are any outstanding recalls on you bike .
