R1200GS Safety Warning

Found this on Visordown.com -

Although if you have one of these BMW will have been in touch already, yes??

It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

VD non-story shocker!

Checking the guard isn't fouling the brake lever is point no 1 on the list to check when getting ABS errors on the GS models, not just the 1200.

It's been known for years.
