A-Red Bill Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I recently had the 6,000 mile service performed and was informed of a service campaign to replace the right side switchgear. The campaign affects 2014 RT’s built until May 4, 2014. The work takes about 15 minutes and there is no charge. Link to comment
Teddy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just had my annual service done yesterday and they replaced the RHS switchgear as well as a bolt on the gear lever and a reprogram of the ECU. No charge for the campaign recalls, service was AU$283 so okish. Teddy Link to comment
Aussiegazza Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I was told it was fixing a faulty kill switch. Link to comment
Teddy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I was told it was fixing a faulty kill switch. Yes I think that is what the service man said. Teddy Link to comment
paRTy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 How do you find out the build date of our bikes? 2014 RT thx Link to comment
hopz Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The build date is not generally available... I tried last week to find mine. I called BMW Motorrad NA and the customer service rep looked it up in real time. Just have your VIN handy. I asked her if there was a way to determine the date and she said no. Call BMW or call your dealer. FWIW... there was a redesign of the water pump with the new part used after Feb of 2014. I have the new one... it leaked too... Link to comment
paRTy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks Hopz. appreciate the info. Link to comment
mneblett Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 While not down to the day, the vehicle information sticker on the fork has MM/YY info. Link to comment
lkraus Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 This should show you your exact build date and factory options (partially in German): http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html You'll need the last seven characters of your VIN. Link to comment
mickeym3 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Since the bikes were part of the shock recall there was a recall list showing VIN and corresponding build date. I have a copy if anyone needs it or PM me your VIN and I'll give you the date it was built. Link to comment

So what do you do when the data is wrong?? It reports my R12RT, K54 to be a K52 R12R. Link to comment
AlanS. Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It shows mine as a R1200R also. Link to comment
lkraus Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 So what do you do when the data is wrong?? It reports my R12RT, K54 to be a K52 R12R. Go back to the dealer and get the right bike? Are the other details incorrect also? Google found two more decoders: http://www.decodervin.pl/ http://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/BMW All three seem to be accurate for my '06 RT. Link to comment

The options are correct (and are RT options, like the US radio -- not an R choice). The decodervin.pl site also shows a K52 R1200R. Just for S&G's I'll ask my dealer what BMW's system shows.

lkraus Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do any of these sites provide a plausible production date? Link to comment
Milo172 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 To get you bike's production date, go to RealOEM.com and enter the last 7 digits of your VIN Link to comment
