BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I run the Denali D4 lights, sound Bomb horn and camera system.
Haf it on my last 3 bikes, so value for money.

The BMW connected App works really well with most routing software, or you can plan a route on your phone in the App. Once you figure it out you'll love it (unless your using an Iphone). Plan a route in which ever software you use and save it, then email to yourself and open the email on your phone....

The road 5's are a good tyre but I got less mileage out of them than Casbar, on both my RT and XR.

The road 6 is giving a much better mileage return, again on both my bikes and the grip level is just as good if not better.

Good morning Everyone Sorry it's took a bit longer than planned to get the dates etc up on here.

Nice addition to a topbox and easy to fit.
Early Christmas present to yourself

Stuff the tyre pressures David...more importantly when did you join the porsche club? Don't be stalking me on the porsche forum as well .

Which 718 did you get?

Just a thought, how would people feel about moving it to August, if it meant more people could/would attend for longer?

Hi John Sorry for delayed response but I've been away. (not MHP) I was only discussing yesterday with Sim the 2024 RT meet. I'm wondering IF there would be anyone that fancied extending the RT meet in France. My thought pattern (not normally the best I admit) Myself and Sim take two European trips a...

Yes you can download the App from playstore.
Quite handy if you have a BMW car as it also works on the cars.

You can put your test meter on the battery and read the voltage, leave it connected and press the start button. If the battery has a dead cell the meter will drop to single figures and stay there when you hear the click. Take your finger of the start button and see how long it takes the battery to r...

Tim on his GS would be fine, he has a pull out tent built on his top box

We discussed a 3 or 4 night trip, around the same dates as this year.

I know it's 12 months off but I propose a long weekend over either the weekend of 13th/14th or 20th 21st July 2024, traveling on a Thursday returning Monday or travel on a Friday and returning Tuesday.

You can get additives to add into the oil that softens rubber seals. If the bike has been stood for a long while the seal could of gone hard. Read up on the additives and pour one in, use the bike and if the clutch plates do have oil on it will hopefully burn off. Will save you stripping the bike to...

An honest sensible reply from Panman which may help to answer the OP So every other answer has been dishonest and ridiculous has it?? You've probably never riden the modern RT but yet you pick up on the one negative comment, reference the 1250. I also had that senerio happen to me on my 2019 RT but...

A motorcycle’s agility depends upon three main considerations: 1. Its overall weight 2. Its steering geometry, including wheelbase 3. The resistance of its rotating masses to changes of direction. The 2010 Camhead is 263 kg, whereas, the new 1250 is 279 kg. From what I can see, the steering geometr...
