BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I took the extender off my 2018 to clean it up when I first got the bike, and remember it being a pain to re-attatch. I’ll have a look tomorrow.

I have a spare mount,I'll go and find the flattest spot at the front there is.I could have sworn you had it on your person,or was that somebody else. You’re right, last year I put it in the zipped pocket that holds the CO2 canister on my air vest where it worked pretty well. When I first got the bl...

That’s not good, sounds like you (and he) had a fun trip!

How about here? I thought it may work there ok, it’s about the only half straight bit facing frontwards (is that a word?)
Have fun on your trip matey

11 days to go until our annual Greece trip, and at the risk of sounding like British Rail in days of yore “Calling at Folkestone, Coquelles, Chaumont, Caprie, and Forli before arriving at Ancona…” followed by overnight accommodation on Superfast Ferries to Igoumenitsa then onto Paleros. A month ther...

Why’s that girl behind you looking at your bum Martin?

I didn’t actually feel any appreciable increase in airflow or improved cooling effect with the Cool Cover when I first fitted it, but I left it on because, as you have suggested, it felt a bit more comfortable. I didn’t bother to take it off when my holiday or the summer finished, but on the first c...

The rattling sound is your bones Martin, you’re getting old like the rest of us!

Ouch! And a pig to pick up from that angle.

The RT is good for touring and some 100lbs lighter than the ST, but more importantly for my wife it has ample pillion room. I think you’re probably right about the power though, I’d have lost my licence by now on the VFR…

All getting a bit close now isn’t it?

Mine’s going in next Tues for a small service and new tyres before we head off at silly o’clock on the 28th.

I think I’d pass this one on to a professional Rob… best of luck with the fault and MOT.

According to the mech that does my bike it can be done using a GS911, I don’t know about other OBD devices.

Sounds a great trip, well done! I had an ST for 11 years but the heat thrown onto the rider was one of the principal reasons I’m on an RT, it must have been particularly bad for you in Mexico? I far preferred the V4 Honda engine, but the Pan 1300 was technologically outdated pretty soon after it’s l...

Thank you

You’ve reminded me to try and find my Coolcover for my trip, I know where it should be… which isn’t necessarily the same as I know where it is!

Booked our travel ins with Nationwide Flexplus, cheaper than last year because they’ve changed insurance provider from UK Ins to Aviva, who don’t charge extra for being an old fart and charge less for medical history. There is also no restrictions on motorcycle use, only that you have a licence for ...

… and again +3, I’m on my 2nd pair and my wife has a pair too.
