Found my side stand loose with a bolt missing and the remaining bolt had no loctite, replaced the missing bolt and re secured the stand with loctite 243. Mine is a late model 2011.

Stupid thing is my bike was at Pidcocks BMW and they carried out the recall on the fuel tank. I asked them today why they didnt do the side stand? They said my bike was not one of the effected bikes....... errrrr sorry to tell you BMW it is.

No idea. Maybe they meant something else on the fuel system?

fuel pump housing or something can get micro fractures in the casing, causing a fuel leak. its not an actually recall in the UK. but BMW are doing it slowly. you should recieve a letter from ur dealer about it when they get your to you on the list. there was a thread about this is somewhere on here
