2015 R1200RT w/ Scala Rider Q3 Bluetooth

BMW Audio System, temperamental at best.  Using the Scala Q3 with a previous 2012 1200RT, 2012 K1600GT, and now the 2015 R1200RT --- why do I have to re-pair it to the Helmet 1 so many times.  It seems to make a difference whether I have the Scala turned on before I start the bike,...

2015 R1200RT - programming FM Stations ???

The Germans must've had help from the KIA or Nissan writing the instructions for programming FM stations manually.  Trying exactly as written (and several other keystroke attempts), I can't get the MODE button to give me  FM + MAN on the display for multi-controller access to stati...

Re: Side Stand Foot Enlarger

A gotta have accessory.  Until you've seen a bike stand sink into too-soft asphalt you may not believe it.  It's also great in sandy, pea-gravel, and sometimes even mud. Be aware ---- even on level ground, it WILL make your bike more vertical.  The inside edge of the new f...

Re: Lowered Foot Pegs

I'll see if I can even get a photo of the adjusting screw.  All he told me was there's a jam-nut that secures the adjusting screw to the Master Cylinder.  If I heard him correctly, he removed the nut, replaced it with a washer, then had to snug the screw in all the way to get the l...

Re: Lowered Foot Pegs & Shift Lever

I also have the Suburban Mach Foot pegs Lowering Kit -- a huge help.  However, adjusting the shifter as shown below, while it works, does change things.  As you increase the exposed portion of the threaded rod you're changing the activation of the shifter --- you're changing the ge...

Re: 2015 RT Front Brake Calipers - Wide Open ?

Thanks guys ..... well, that's what the forums are all about --- getting info and advice from other tenured BMW owners. But, the spring clip has no tension on it, no grip, not hooked on anything.  It just rotates freely on the pin.  ???? I've had 5 BMWs before this, never really no...

2015 RT Front Brake Calipers - Wide Open ?

On my new 2015 RT --- what's with the exposed back of the calipers?  No other RT or other recent model I know of has this part missing.  Apparently it's on purpose, but why?  And what's the exposed and seemingly unattached spring in the photo for? Which of the covers are b...
