Some recalls I found . Okay from what I have gathered From the BMW NA TSB From engine number 61712400 and later (vehicle production from approx mid-June 2012 onward) an optimized decompression lever (new part number 11 31 8 540 965) has been integrated into series production. This means that any bike with that engine number and higher number has the new part in it so go by the engine number . There is also another recall 13 022 15 (023) which is a software update of the BMS-E 15v-537 and then the latest 16v-689 . Models: G 650 GS (R13/40, 0189) and G 650 GS Sertao (R13/40, 0146) Details: BMW Motorrad has ascertained that the software of the BMS-E is incorrect. Idling is occasionally unstable (most often after long journeys); the engine stalls with the clutch lever pulled and the engine RPM’s drop to idle. The engine may stall again after immediately being restarted. Vehicles affected: In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Recall Campaign, it will be necessary to verify all vehicle VINs through a DCS Vehicle History Check. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the repair or take no further action. Please note, affected VINs may not appear until 24-72 hours after the release

Jim Pannell I'm glad it could help you out! I actually sold my Sertao a year ago but sometimes I miss it!

Good review, agree about the decals really cheap looking. I've installed an aftermarket single silencer(muffler) sounds great and gets rid of the ugly CAT that you don't need, much better lines now and sounds like a big single should. My next purchase is progressive springs - to stop the fork dive which is really apparant - agree about the basic suspension. Sort these issues out and it's a pretty good bike.

Hey mate, nice review, very comprehensive and helpful! I have ordered a Sertao, one of the last new ones to be sold in Australia. Apparently it's listed as model year 2015 . . . I hope the hot start issue has been fixed in this model year? (I'm having a little trouble finding the service bulletin notes to check). Would you also be able to provide a link of the LED bulb you are using in your headlight - that suits the Sertao? I like the idea of getting a brighter headlight. Cheers again and happy riding!!

wow - every observation you have made, I too have experienced. Such a joy to see you say: the front shocks dive a little, the front brake isn't amazing, the vibration makes it tiresome after an hour. Seat is ordinary. But it's pretty good for the cost. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you found the video helpful. I still have the bike and I must say the engine vibrations are decreasing the more miles I put on her. The engine must be smoothing out.

One quick question about your side panniers: As these are the vario cases of BMW, how do you extend them? Do you just have to move a single bail or do you have to loosen 4 buttons, yank it and put in the 4 buttons again?

yaay There are four yellow clips on the inside of the case. You unclip each one, pull out the case shell to expand it, then close each yellow clip to lock the case in it's new size.

The hot start issue should have been fixed by now, I wouldn't worry about it. The bulletin number is 11 003 12 (015) dated August 2012. The headlight bulb is this www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/3800-Lumen-H4-LED-Headlight-bulb-_p_83.html

The stickers made it look so cluttered and "toyish". Like a Hot Wheels. Had to ditch them!
