BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Sounds like Alfred is doing his own oil & filter change, not a BMW dealer. Correct The dealer put shit oil and wrong filter on it. I am sick of paying for rubbish. Liqui Moly is top of the line oil, but also comes attached with a matching price tag. Over here in Australia getting 5W-40 oil that...

Very expensive fully synthetic Liqui Moly 4T synth 5W-40 Street Race.

Well that means then that my dealer installed the wrong filter.
Another reason NOT to use them anymore.

David The two filters show the same part number "except" for the very last part which is a "-***" But as the Hexhead filter came in it's original BMW box, the box doesn't even show the last "-***" part. So as such, the numbers as per BMW original box packaging is the sa...

I had a spare BMW filter from my previous Hexhead and it's the same number. And it says BMW only, but the number is the same. I think Mahle uses the exact same number, but not sure. Munich Motorcycles over here in Australia does sell the Mahle filter for R1200RT-LC as service parts. Just read the nu...

The Oil Filter I just took off is a BMW oil Filter but also has got Mahle stamped on it.
this was an oil change + filter done by the dealer.

My son lives in Brisbane (North Lakes) and he rides his Bike around there. Plenty of mountain/twisties to get more then your fair share of good riding.

Ok
Silver C3 helmet with SRC Comms system:  1.629kg or 1629gr

I'll tell you tomorrow.
Too cold and dark to go into the garage....ohhh bugger...I'll go and get it

Maybe Alfred could weigh his nice new shiny one. I have just weighed my 6 on a set of digital scales. 1.62 which includes a full Autocom headset, a set of dumb French stickers and a few squashed bugs. Oiiiii I never claimed anything about weight, just that it was cheaper then the BMW at the time. :)

Not at the time when I looked, but the System 6 (or 7?) will be my next helmet, including the BMW Comms system for full compatibility with my bike.

My 2 cents worth I purchased The C3 helmet as I wanted Comms using the SRC system. The real value in the C3 helmet, if it's a proper fitting one, is not that you can flip it open, but rather that you can not remove it ones it's closed...even without the strap done up. You have to stretch the helmet ...

Hello. On my bike it's no blue coolant coming out off the little hole at the left side. After driving 530km afew days agoe, the side off the engine was covered with some black oily stuff. I didn't drive hard and it was cold weather. Is it motoroil leaking thru the waterpump? Take it back straight a...

No there isn't
I am on quite a few forums and this is hardly mentioned.
Biggest discussions and topics are around: Clunky shifting, Quick Shift, Bluetooth pairing, leaking radiator fluid out of LHS overflow hole.......

I am assuming that you are talking about the Hexhead.
No, they do not just fall off.
Plenty of bad potholes here in Aussie land and I ride my bikes fairly hard up the mountain range....never lost one yet.
