BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Last weekend I was riding my RT in a rural area of southeastern North Carolina-USA, actually riding to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina-USA. I stopped at a small crossroads and made a left turn, went through 1st, 2nd and when I shifted into 3rd my throttle stopped responding and the RT spit and spat dow...

There's always a few meatheads in the neighborhood, aren't there? By in large I appreciate your helpful replies. I started riding Enduro bikes when I was 18. Honda XR350R and XR500R and had the friction zones adjusted to engage just at the slights release of the clutch lever. I now have the RT frict...

Excuse me for asking what may be old news but I just saw YouTube footage of bikers riding on a highway in the UK with caption of MAG Protect.  The video did not have any audio and therefor no explanation available. I'm in the States and haven't heard anything regarding this political situat...

RTman10, today has turned into a typical north Georgia winters day. Cloudy/foggy currently 55F. High probability of rain.  The RT is safe in the garage.   

Jan. 15, 2017 Georgia-USA, high 72F, partly sunny, no rain. Actually should have taken my liner out of my jacket as I got too warm with the full jacket and liner on.  Keep the windscreen down to get air flow into my helmet. Last weekend we had snow/ice, low got to around 8F. Winter weather ...

My 2016 R1200RT is stock out of the dealership with no adjustments to date. I'm having a little trouble adjusting my ergonomics to the clutch. Is it a simple clutch lever adjustment or a clutch adjustment?  I've been searching YouTube for DIY instructional information and haven't found anyt...

Great looking bike! I saw a white 2017 RT at my Motorrad dealership in Atlanta last weekend. The white color really stands up! Congratulations!   

Welcome, I recently got off a Goldwing and onto a new 2016 R1200RT. Should have purchased the RT years ago!  The RT performs extremely well on the mountain roads in north Georgia.  My next conquest is "The Dragon" in the Smoky Mountain National Park, crossing North Caroli...

Just purchased my first BMW motorcycle and my first wet head!  Having accessories added by the dealer and will pick-up this coming Wednesday. Nothing for you experienced riders to get excited about, but I'm excited!!!   

Appreciate all of your recommendations and opinions. Wethead recommended a Gold Wing. I have and will be retiring/replacing the 2006 GW, "The Sofa" with the new bike I seek to purchase. The Sofa is too heavy for me to continue wrestling. I never have nor will I ever own an H-D. Kawa's and ...

I too am considering purchasing an RT. I have also posted Q&A regarding the "clunk" from the tranny on another post. My question here, please, is buying an 2016 RT without Dynamic Package a major fault or are the "premium and "dynamic" packages must have feature?&nbs...

I'm a new Forum member and potentially new 2016 R1200RT owner. As I've been researching the RT for months, I continue to run into articles, forums, etc. with same issue - tranny clunk!  Having no prior experience with RT's or BMW's for that matter, (1) how serious is this clunk, (2) what ca...
