BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Is the new 1250 RT more agile than my 2010 Rt 1200?
Especially in 180 degree tight uphill hairpin bends.
And no I don't want a GS

That's what I think.
It fell out when I took the whole right footrest and pedal assembly of to service my driveshaft.

Attached is a picture of the pressure rod.
Am I right in thinking that the end just goes through the rubber boot and just rest against the master cylinder?
I don't see any mechanical attachment of the pressure rod to the master cylinder.

Is their a specific method of attaching the Pressure rod of the rear brake master cylinder into the master cylinder or is it just pressed in through the belows?
Thanks ,
Simon

I have trailed it back to the dealer today.
They said that they would get it reconditioned.
The bike has 0 kms from when I picked it up and it was sold as in good working condition.

Here are a couple of images of the oil leak.

Thanks David!
Yep it is ESA and has a red spring and 2nd generation ESA.
What other liquid could be dripping from their.
I did jolt the bike a bit when taking it off the trailer.
Excuse my ignorance this is my first BMW.

I have just picked up my seconf hand RT 1200 2010 from the BMW dealer. This morning their is a wet patch on the floor at the bottom of the rear suspension. It seems to be coming from the bottom casing of the rear suspension where the wire goes in. I also do not have a preload knob under the rear sea...

Thanks for the info and link.
Can't wait to go and pick the bike up next week.

Hi everyone! I have just bought my first BMW, an Rt 1200 from 2010. The BMW dealer I bought it from said that they need to replace the steering bearing before I can go and pick it up. The bike has 78000 kms on the clock. Is this a known problem? I was told when I bought it that it was in good order....
