I dropped mine off at the dealer tonight to get this done tommorrow.

The recall is later coming out in the US, its been out in Europe and Canada for over a month now.

Needed the chain recall

Took my 800gs for repairs (fan not working) and the deal told me that I needed this recall, cool won't have to clean the chain.

Anyway the guys were on the ball and I had my baby back real fast.
