Tools you will want for service: GS911                                            Service reset T50-T4...

This does remind me of very similar occasion when I returned home after a Dealer service. My right boot had a thin film of oil on it. Investigation by me showed that the rubber seal which fits around the spark plug access hole had not been installed correctly. Don’t you just love those skilled BMW ...

As of now, the GS911 will not reset the service reminder on my 2017 R1200RT. They are working on updating the software to include the new controllers used on the EU4 bikes.

2017 R1200RT was rear ended at a stop sign and fell over on the right side. No evidence of the throttle hitting the ground. The engine fault light along with the solid yellow warning triangle were on and the bike ran in the "get home mode". It was limited to 2000 RPM and didn't have enough...

David,

I bought the Rt used in June 2012 with 16478 miles on her. I do ride a lot. Last year I put 47388 miles on her....129 miles per day.

I have a new 2017 RT on order now.

I have been through 4 belts on my 2008 RT with 167,000 miles on it. Only one of them did exactly as your did. It only squealed for a couple seconds after washing the bike. It never caused any other problems.......nothing to worry about.
