BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

A grand day out was had by all attendees.

Sport, comfort & normal are damping settings, I wouldn't expect to see the rear of the bike move.

However, when switching the preload between the three load settings, the rear end will raise up & lower down.

Confirmed the above again, did 331 miles yesterday before the BC range was zero. After another mile, put 25.33 litres in to brim the tank. That's a physical check of 59.4 mpg, the BC showed 61.4 mpg.

Have arrived in Tiverton, will be meeting Markus for 10am at Vertu BMW Motorrad Exeter in the morning.

Looking forward to meeting you all, we will probably be leaving around 11am for the Dartmoor ride out.

Markus has arrived safely in Chagford, you will see him on Friday.

At 15:54, Markus was at Bristol and 1 hour from Exeter.

He will be at Vertu BMW Motorrad Exeter on Friday (31st May) at 10am, probably leaving around 11am.

Hopefully, I'll be there too, look forward to seeing you all.

Unless the trains aren't running, Markus will definitely be there.

There is a good chance that Markus & I will be meeting up at Vertu BMW Motorrad Exeter on Friday 31st May 2024 and having a ride out through Dartmoor.

Should this happen (TBC), would anyone be interested in joining us for a brew and/or ride out.

As of today, my most recent Zumo 660 NT 2024.10 map update is 1 year old. When connecting the device to the PC, a message popped up on the device stating that the maps were over 1 year old and I should update/purchase new maps. I purchased lifetime updates for my 2011 device and the 2013 device is a...

Don't think the batteries are designed to be replaced, viewtopic.php?p=38354&hilit=tpms+battery#p38354

I'm confused (easily done), were the plungers removed without removing the grub screws, then screwed back in.
