BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just had an email from the dealer I use saying the last tool I need will be in stock February 26th, that’s the cam chain tensioner tool,

Unexpected call from Cotswold bmw yesterday to say the cam alignment jigs have arrived!, half way there now just waiting on the cam chain tensioner tool

I thought the right to repair law covered all this and that they had to supply the equipment to service bikes/cars by law I’m not sure, it’ll be interesting to see what bmw uk say, they wanted the dealer name and order no which after speaking with the dealer in question I gave them. I made it clear...

No, nobody currently in the world has these tools for sale!. I had a reply from bmw today funnily enough, we shall see what happens next!.

I emailed bmw uk on Saturday re not being able to purchase the tools and the fact I paid £350 last December for them, I’ve heard nothing back yet.

Thanks for the reply’s , hopefully it goes well and she’s not in to much pain and sticks to the rehab.

So my 56 yr old wife has to have a complete knee replacement on the 24th… not what we expected but there it is.
Is there anyone that’s had a knee replacement and can still ride pillion on the RT or indeed any bike ?. It will be the end of my biking if she can’t.

I’ve come across this many times, even had one person block my any counter offer , why they add make offer is beyond me!.
I don’t use my dip lights for fear of blowing them and tackling a bulb change and I’m £££ conscious of using the aux lights

Not wishing to be rude but doi have to pay the £32 to become a member just to ask if they have the 1250 tools I’d like to hire ?.

I couldn’t even find them

I’ve not had a great deal of time lately but I’m going to email bmw motorrad complaints department as to why they will not sell me the tools I need to service my RT out of warranty. Also if anyone here knows where I can hire the cam alignment jigs and the cam chain tensioner tool for a 1250 motor pl...

If you’d told them it was rattly it should have been foc. Have you had it changed ?, how did you find the difference?.

Gavj wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 2:35 pm Havent had cam chain tensioner replaced... was this a recall?

Not a recall exactly, but if you ask your dealer about it they should change it, if not I don’t think they are to expensive to buy. If the nut head is 17mm you have the original tensioner, if it’s 19mm the updated one has been fitted.
