BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I use Doncaster Motorcycles I've always had good service and never a problem

I use an independent garage for services I trust them alot more I had one service done at dealer and it didn't feel like it does when my independent  does them hence the none bmw filter but I like them I've always had them on all my bikes, alot of BMW's parts aren't the best. [size=78%]7vwh...

Something wrong with a hiflo filter David?

Hi all, I'm looking at getting my 16plate RT serviced soon when the weather gets better and am in 2 minds where to get it done.... On all my other bikes I have had all my work done at Doncaster motorcycles never had a problem with them and they do a good job but is it better to have a BMW dealer do ...

Steve F I had a test ride on an 18plate with 1500 miles on it with the pr4’s And although better as they were new I wasn’t enamoured with the feel of the bike.... Why buy the bike I hear you say well it’s a fantastic bike and tyres can be changed which I have and initial feelings are it’s just made ...

Well had the Metzeler’s fitted today and oh my god it’s a different bike as you said bandytails, no scary moments on corners or on road seams and no vibration through the bars like I got with the PR4’s.... This is how the bike should feel in my opinion and yes I know new tyres all feel good but all ...

Thanks bandytails that’s exactly how they were at weekend and when cornering it felt like I was fighting it to get round, I’m very much looking forward to the metzelers and wi keep you updated as to my thoughts.... I asked previous owner and he hadn’t changed from new so it had 5993 miles on the fro...

Yes front and rear will both be changed It looks a good touring tyre to me just not a Michelin fan

Ordered the Z8’s today to be fitted next week when I get my tomtom wired in so if anyone wants a PR4 GT rear tyre with 800 miles on it only PM me

Exportman my mate had pr3’s on his FJR with the same feeling as mine today he has changed his to roadsmarts and it’s a different bike... Yes the front has the ripple effect that’s how to explain the look of it, I find it a very strange feeling so I think it needs remedying but I will give it more ti...

I am taking it to my garage for tomtom wiring in so will ask them about it and see what they think, my mate rode it as my second opinion and we came to the conclusion the lumpy looking front was the culprit the rear is brand new I may change front if guys at garage concur

Hi guys, Went out for another run today and again felt the tyres weren’t great just couldn’t put my finger on it as it’s got PR4 gt’s on and everyone raves about them (pressures were fine)... I thought it may just be me coming from a Vstrom and Bridgestone tyres. Got my mate to ride it for a bit and...

That’s what I’ve got her for the mile munching on tours in Europe took her for a little spin on Monday and we ended up at the Scottish border .... She is a mint bike and will be very pampered
