BMW 2015 GSA Clutch Slave Cylinder Recall/ Service inspection
 

Hi All,

You may or may not be aware that BMW also have a Clutch Slave Cylinder concern. Now they havent called it a recall but dealers are told to inspect the Clutch Slave cylinder when they come in for service. I believe it is K50/51 models.
My wife and I are at the beginning of our 3 year RTW trip and received the fork recall info while in La Paz Bolivia. Having a gap of 2mm (as opposed to the .2mm cut off point) we have been waiting 4 weeks for the replacement forks to arrive.

While the bike was left standing for a couple of weeks I noticed a small oil leak. Having inspected the bike on a daily basses this came as a big surprise. On taking it to the dealer In La Paz again the mechanic felt it was clutch oil and on further investigation I discovered that BMW had an issue with the slave cylinders leaking and loss of oil. Ours was removed and it was the Slave. On inspection the Clutch resivour was empty. I believe we got to it just in time as Neutral to First was just getting a bit "Clunky" but otherwise there didnt appear to be any issue.

Just to let everyone know...... and hopefully we wont have to wait to much longer for our forks

Thank you for the heads up.
