BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

2025 will be the 10th Annual UK RT Meet Up.

We are going to look at doing it later in the week. Ashley & I are now booked in at the Abergavenny Premier Inn for 2 nights. Tuesday 7th May, we'll be riding from Teesside to Wales. Wednesday 8th May, having a circular ride out, in and around the Brecon Beacons. Thursday 9th May, riding home. ...

The RS2's have now done 5,870 miles with the remaining serviceable tread depth to the TWI's in the centre of each tyre, Front = 1.0 mm, Rear = 2.5 mm. By the time I've been to Wales & back (700 miles) they should be ready for changing after a total of 6,570 miles, IMO, that is quiet good. The re...

Based on the BBC weather forecast for Abergavenny, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657815 Ashley & I will not be attending.

Markus will not be attending, he hasn't got a motorcycle.

The weather forecast, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657815 will have to improve for Ashley & I to turn up.

Do you use Muc-Off, if so which one, Bike or Motorcycle Cleaner. I recently purchased some Bike Cleaner from Amazon for £17.99, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nano-Tech-Litre-Fast-Action-Biodegradable-Cleaning-Fluid-Safe/dp/B000NNQHYC/ref=asc_df_B000NNQHYC?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=...

Get a man in.

When cranking the engine to start, Yuasa recommend a minimum of 9.5 V. Meanwhile, I'll just keep an eye on it and carry some jump leads. Got BMW Roadside Assistance and breakdown cover with my insurance too.

For the record and future reference, battery voltage checks were completed today. The battery was fully charged and allowed to rest before performing any tests. 1) Resting voltage with ignition off = 12.37 V. (This may be a little low). 2) Battery charger connected and the voltage rose to 13.56 V. 3...

I think the danger is that, some de-sulphating battery chargers can deliver up to ~18 volts which may damage the voltage sensitive electronics on the motorcycle.

The alternator onboard charging system is voltage regulated to a max. of ~14.5 volts.

Hi Michael, just pop round together with your meter, David.

The Haynes manual says 13 to 15 volts. It would be interesting the check another Camhead RT.

With the engine running at a fast idle speed, what is the battery voltage.
