BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

BMW have a problem with corrosion on engine cases & shaft drive housing, and they will replace the entire engine if you complain loud enough. As your bike is still within it's 3yr warranty you ought to be claiming under warranty before you go around changing screws or touching anything.

Take a look on page 3 there is a route there Based on that I've just knocked up the following. It obviously doesn't take into account EasyRider's local knowledge of the best route in & out of town so I've just used the main road, but once were on the road if anyone gets lost, it's good enough. ...

Bit late to the party, but I'll be coming down from Shrewsbury in the morning. Have you got a GPX file for the route, or at least a screen shot of a map?

Thanks for all your replies and I've ordered a Cool Cover to see how it goes. I've got a 250mile RTE next weekend and then an Iron Butt 1000 a couple of weeks later. I'll report back later.

Worst case scenario and it could be the Airhawk over the Cool Cover!

I used to ride with the Denali's with 'spot' lenses and whilst these are no doubt brighter and after dark lit up further ahead I found I got flashed at too often, hence why I put in the ribbed Fog/Dripped. When I've asked people who I have been following how noticeable they are during the day, (even...

If you prefer leather & mesh. Rukka AFT - Expensive but very very good.

I've tried several of the technical snow foams and in all honesty I don't think they're any better than a pre rinse with a low powered battery jet wash to wash the worst of it off. Whenever I've tried them they don't just shift the black pad dust or grim stuck to the exhaust and I have have to end u...

Any issue with yellow spots at the mot. I had the white lenses in when I had my MOT done last year so can't comment accurately, however I think it's one of the weird rules with motorcycle MOT's in that only the OEM lights are checked, whereas on cars all lights are checked. As long as the auxiliary...

"Capt Sisko"'what Denali's do you have and where did you get the filters,quite fancy a bit of yellow meself :thumb: I've got a pair of D2 mounted on a pair of under the wing mirror brackets. https://denalielectronics.com/products/dnl-d2-050?rq=gc_motorcycle~yr_2019~mk_bmw~md_r1250rt https...

My tuppence worth..... 'Yellows' at car driver sight line, flash in sync with indicators so no conflict, indicator on/ yellow off IMG_3845.jpeg That's a very similar set up to mine and although it's entirely unscientific, but when I changed from clear to Yellow filters on my Denali lights drivers d...

I've got a pair of those and they've seen me through five winters so far. Damned good gloves.

On a similar theme, Breakdown Insurance.

For a Toyota CHR and the 1250RT:- last year £60.65 / This year £91.83
That's a 50% increase!

I've got to agree that with panniers the bike looks complete, however whilst tox boxes are eminently useful, I think the OEM one looks ugly, particularly on it's own.

Don't forget you can also set the suspension manually, but only whilst the vehicle is stopped. On the move you can only change between Road & Dynamic, but stopped use the Wonder Wheel to scroll up and it gives you three more options. Min, Auto & Max. Put the bike in Min & Rain mode and i...

IF I was in looking at buying soon anyway I might be tempted by B or C, but as Mac001 hinted at, never forget the “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” rule, so would tread very cautiously.
