Re: HANDLE BAR ADJUSTERS

Thanks. So can you line them up back towards you or only as far as in line? Good luck finding your throttle issue. They can be angled back a very small amount, but are more of an inline thing. You have to be careful that the hydraulic hoses are not pulled to tight,check full lock in both directions...

Re: HANDLE BAR ADJUSTERS

Does anyone know if the wunderlich risers are multi adjustable? Description says it can be "adjusted in it's angle" does that mean adjusted on the original bar mount or just the position of the switchgear? https://www.nippynormans.com/r1200rt-lc-2014-on/wunderlich-risers-r1200rt-lc-r1250r...

Re: Power to a st605 GIVI tank bad.

Thanks for the replies; Being new to BMW and this canbus lark, I was not sure what the deal was for pulling power out of the canbus plug. I wondered if you had to have a special bit of kit in your phone charging wiring to stop the canbus system going into error.  But as pointed out so long...

Re: Retired or about to retire?

As a "youngster" I used to go touring on a GPZ900R, then a GTR1000, then a FJR1300.  I traded the FJR for a 2007 R1200RT in 2008 and I'm now on my fourth RT.  :) I turned 65 in 2012 and retired in 2015, so having a R1200RT and being retired is just a coincidence for me.&...
