HP2 owners, and want-to-be owners............while its true that there have been recalls on the bike.......the recall you most want to pay attention to is about a leaking connection in the fuel line connectors as they go from the fuel pump to the actual injectors. I had this happen and it is zero fun. BMW had ALREADY sent me a notice to bring my bike in right away..........and of course, how could it possible apply to ME............but it did. Gas dripping out the left side, leathers getting wetter, my thought being that if I could keep up my speed enough till I got back to the shop, the wind would keep the gas fumes at bay. It worked.

On BMW's part, here is what they did. Upon getting to my shop I called BMW of Atlanta that very tuesday afternoon, they then called somewhere and relayed what had happen to HP@ #32, and I then get a call Wed mid-day telling me to bring the bike in at once, to which I replied, how right away, and they said to come Friday morning early because BMW was Express shipping the whole warranty packet to them overnight, or so they had been told on the phone.

And guess what, they did. They replaced the fuel pump, seals, connectors, and injector O rings, cleaned the bike, test road it, helped me load it, gave me coffee the whole time, and charged me nothing on a already busy Friday. (now, thats a dealer)

Other issues like the wheel are more obvious, but make sure that your 2008 or 9 bike gets this warranty work BEFORE you ride it anymore. Gas on leather is hard to put out quickly unless you land in a lake........................
