BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Well my experience has been totally to opposite to yours. Sadly, I have to retract my good words about Barrie Robson. I needed to take the weather protection and lower panels off last Friday and the securing bolts were all wrong for the relevant holes (incorrect lengths for the position). One on th...

We got as close as cawood bridge but were heading to Hawes/Ribblehead viaduct for a pic op sadly.

Pic delivering Easter treats to the photographer!

Glad you like it

Regarding the screen, I’m 6’6” and have a high seat, set on high because it messes with my legs and hip joints so need a massive screen for the quieter side of life in my lug holes

I don’t enjoy riding the work bikes as they have standard screens so get a right head battering!

:cheers: I have an excuse! I work :lol: :lol: I think you just turn up. I work too 🤣 On a serious note, I joined this forum before I picked up my bike from the dealer in 2014. I generally pop in every day and have used a lot of info on here to solve issues, bought lots of shiney stuff I didn’t know ...

I got the R@G one and it’s spot on. Easy to detach for cleaning behind and no problem reattaching

The weep hole was done at the same time as shaft replacement for me.

I had mine done last month. 2014, 29000 miles, completed when I took her in for the footrest circlip recall.

I am tempted to still tax the RT for the month, just to be able to get out on it at least once before my op. Will check the on the 29th the weather app for the week ahead and if its dry-ish i will tax it. Tax then SORN her after, either way she’s there for you if need be (I’ll not go into short ter...

Looks ‘spot on’, nice work and well done buddy

Actually, I’ve ordered some PVC tubing. It’s 20mm internal diameter and I am going to slit it lengthwise and see if it will stay in place and offer a first line of defence against road cr*p. Not sure if it will cause a water trap or even hold its shape but worth a try. :? I tried getting the stand ...

I'm torn between them and going to Grimsby! I have had servicing done in Grimsby with no issues but never used Barrie Robson I've heard some horror stories about both dealerships, mainly the sales side. When I had the warranty I travelled to Rainbow at Rotherham. I'd only heard of York recently and...

Can’t fault the BMW service as my bike was last at a dealer in September 2017! (It’s last software update was 2016).

Craig.

After receiving a letter regarding the footpeg recall I had the work done this morning. New shaft, Hole drilled in swing arm & grommet fitted. All footrest circlips replaced. Software update wouldn’t work so dealer report off to BMW. Sept 2014 RTLC, 29,000 miles. I paid for the valve check to be...

Good luck

The only other way I found they came off was whilst escorting the German chancellor from RAF Northolt into central London and I got a bit close to an oncoming vehicle’s door mirror which knocked the back off mine

Fold mirror in then pull the exposed section of the mirror back inline/parallel to the line of the glass. I find a quick jerk works better than a long pull!
