BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Have the sena 10, never updated or ever visited a website, they are fantastic, sat nav through phone etc and lasts a whole day.

Wow thanks for the info! A wide range of experiences thank you, I had better start saving now lol, need to do it.

£75 in Honley, Huddersfield, BMW specialist.

Yep it's an 18mm socket Hex Head, so next question! Has anyone fitted Heed Crash Bars! Now having trouble fitting mounts on the underside of the engine, m8 X 20 long bolts supplied. Looks like they might need spacers!!! , anyone had experience of these fittings? Cheers

Hi Guys and Gals, help! :grave: I have purchased some engine crash bars for the RT, '05, and I am struggling to get the through engine bolt off, a 19mm & 3/4" feels sloppy! I am wondering if the Bolt is a special, like 18mm, if anyone can help ASAP before I go an waist money on random socke...

I use Goop in my All my vehicle tyres, motorcycle, cars and even my mountain bike, but carry a puncture repair kit as well, with the Co2 inflate bottles!

Might be a daft question! But what sort of costs are associated with these type of trips lol something general will do lol Unless you would like to offer a rough brake down , we would love to do something worthwhile, but assume it's quite expensive.

Looks awesome, I am sure it will be a blast in the right direction, would love to have a go lol, I can see that weaving in traffic won't be a problem , shame bikers ignore you, probably jealous. Good luck Mr.RTman

I do tend to cruise, but due to being 2up most of the time and recently get a speeding ticket! I tend not to blast it, but it is there omg is it lol, I feel no real need to rev the nuts out of it lol it a lot different to my Ninja 9r, or I am just getting old or a think about the missus on the back ...

I can't believe all that gear was packed in/on the bike . I take it all that stuff is in bags, like pannier bags, I think I might have to do a practice pack!! For when we eventually get away. Great topic and a great help thanks.

Nice pics. Shame about the weather. I take it you are all solo riders, noticed no panniers but top boxes, assume it helps in traffic not to have panniers!

Well I spent out on a box as well as everything else lol, quite happy with it apart from the thing moves a about quite a bit, so I packed out with Foam stuck down and it's worked. Something told me it should not be such a sloppy fit on the Rack but heyho. I must say it's an art to get the short legg...

Cheers chaps, I am confident with most of the other servicing, the shop serviced it, plugs, oil and filters, prior to puschasing, but they are not a service shop, only on the bikes they sell, and will stamp the book up! I was thinking its was right to get it in somewhere, just need to find a good se...

Hi, oh most wise BMW guru's! I have had the RT 1200 2005 for a few weeks now, (already been done speeding😩) and absolutely loving it, I have received surprising and finally the service book from Cannon BMW, that servicing stops at 25k mileage. I bought at 32k ! I can't assume what the last owner did...

Heard good and bad cheers, a bit worried but hey ho done the deed now. Also heard people have changed breaks or disabled the abs!!! Might have read that wrong........ soon find out can pick it up from Tuesday onwards lol
