BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I recently (20th March) had new header pipes fitted. Bike booked in for 18,000 service, first mot and two tyres. Some days before the engine light had come on a couple of times, but cleared upon restart, so just mentioned it when booked in. Then got a call to say that the cause was the exhaust flap ...

I have it and like it when I have used it.
Although don't have the need for it a lot of the time on normal UK roads, motorways if not excessively busy I find it very useful.

Hi, Done exactly the same thing on a 2021 RT. Looking down in front of the tank on left hand side (as when sat on bike) just under the bottom of the cubby hole, you will see some wiring all clipped in. Amongst that you should also see a blanked off connector (black), cabled tied to the loom. Careful...

I have a small zipped coin purse! That has another small zipped pocket on the side. Plastic key fits nicely in there, and I keep the purse in my jacket pocket!!

Made the most of the weather before back to work tomorrow! 190 mile (5.5 hrs) round trip to Bala Lake using mainly minor/A roads. Pretty quiet and beautiful ride out! Flask of coffee and a turkey sandwich by the lake!

Yes, another year rapidly disappearing!
Picture reminds me to forget my age!
Merry Christmas to you and all

Don't quite know what's going on with the connected app! Had another update the other day to find it was reinstalling all my maps again! Out on a ride on Sunday, but still getting the maps changing scale on the tft screen. No issue with the speed indication, but did notice when got home that it is n...

My short trip yesterday seemed to show all correct in the app afterwards, showed the average and max speed, the same as before.

My bike on a little ride out between the rain for a late breakfast the other day.

Welcome, and if you are like me you will still be smiling after 6 months!! I even get the smile just thinking about getting on it! Enjoy

Went out yesterday and was disappointed to find the map not working very well through the TFT screen. I personally have never had a connection or map issue since I have had the bike! Trying to solve the issue when I got home to find my maps were updating on the app. Didn't think much about till went...

I never did in the old days, but it was my transport to work! Now I have got back into it I still will be using it during winter - apart from the real awful days! Have got the gear and the bike has the rest!

Thank you!
Absoutely enjoyed the trip!! Done a few weekends away since then as well and just look forward to getting on the bike!! Need to retire to have more longer trips!!!

Finally got round to this bit! Finally back on bikes after 27 years out due to bike accident. Got a 2nd hand 1200RT in Nov last year, loved it that much, and got my current R1250RT in May this year ( 2 yes old) Did just over 4,000 miles in June on a tour down through France to the Picos and back thr...
