Re: Emergency key for keyless

If your details are correct i.e. a 2014 LC you don't be able to get the plastic key as the bike is not keyless and they only come with keyless bikes. you can order them for any BMW not just the keyless ones https://www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/search/selectCar/K52/ohne/BMW+R+1200+RT+%280A03%2C+0A13%29/ECE...

Re: Emergency key for keyless

I tape all my emergency keys to a business card and slip them into my wallet, then if I lose my key when I'm out I can at least get home :)

Which reminds me I must order an emergency key for the RT

Re: Navigator VI available soon

What's the point of that? I can already stream music from my phone to my helmet, without the need for a satnav, Nav6 or any other model... :-\ :-\ If you have the Nav you connect your phone to the Nav and the Nav to the helmet, that way the nav sucks the address book from the phone and displays it ...

I have noticed that the bike sometimes feels as though it is hitting some kind of 'flat-spot' whilst under acceleration, especially when moving on from around 3-4000revs and especially with the resumption of twisting the throttl...
