I got a letter for my stolen T reg but nothing for my currrent T reg.

Has anyone had the backfiring up the throttle body recall?

Mine's already been in (1200s) for a recall on rear drive

was the rear drive knocking in traffic or is that normal?

Not as far as I know Dicky. I think it was simply a spacer or similar. Ive not had any knocking in traffic thought

Nah, my 11s has a slight knock in on / off low speed riding. They all do that sir, I was told.

A tad unfair I think Kev. At least BMW take the trouble to recall and fix bikes if they suspect they might have a problem rather than some other well known maufacturers who would rather just let you find out by yourself. Obviously its no fault of theirs when sub frames snap or suspension fails, its the fat bu**ers who sit on them
