Interested what they said!?.

Starting to get a ticking noise from the front of my engine, 1250RT - 12000 miles. Its due to go in for its 12k service so it may get sorted with valve clearances etc but doesnt sound as if its coming from the heads.Difficult to tell. Had a look about on the net to see of anyone has video'd removin...

I suspect they are doing this so people take their bikes to the dealers! Which I thought this was illegal now? I thought they had to supply all the relevant tools for traders to be able to service bikes independently I would complain before cancelling as a complaint may get a set to you quicker :? ...

I’ll give it until December then I’m cancelling my order for the tools and get a refund, I feel like I need to complain to bmw.

I may do it over the winter Steve, I like the old bmw style grip.

£2.85 from Amazon and 2 x M6 cap heads, perfect! And now supports the seat on the frame rails In the high position.
Seat has been well used but has cleaned up nice and both heating elements work. Not bad for £200 delivered

That's great thank you very much!

The cut outs are part of the design, I thought they would be a problem with it but have found the seat very comfortable. I'll have a look at the rubbers tomorrow & post up. Thanks 👍, that would be great. The manual has a picture of them but the depth / height of the rubber part would be useful.

Just had a look at mine, the two rubber things are used no matter what position the seat is in, low or hight. The diameter is 25mm. Guess you know the thread size. Thanks for the reply, I wondered if they might have changed the design for the same model , the one I bought has a manufacturing date i...

You didn't mention the cardan Steve, so a shaft check is now for all RTs to then ?.

I’ve just bought a pair of Sargent heated seats but the 2 screw in rubber things didn’t come with it, these are to be used when the riders seat is used in the high position, Coukd some kind soul take a picture and give me the dimensions of these rubber things please so I can make a couple ?. Thanks!...

It’s a good idea Steve. I’m trying to think of a material or membrane I can use to line the inside of the speaker grill that’s waterproof instead the cloth, any ideas ?.

hi guys just got a 2021 r1250rt coming from a 1250rs and triumph tiger 1200 before that ,the rt is the best awesome bike especially as most of my riding is 2 up off to France and Germany in a couple of weeks can't wait. Welcome aboard, the 1250rt is a capable machine, I hope you enjoy it and you tr...

I recently changed the oil on my 1250 from Castrol power 1 racing 5w/40 to the recommendation bmw/ shell 5w/40 , same viscosity I know but I’m pretty sure gear changes were slightly smoother on the Castrol. If I’m not paying full attention some changes can be a little crunchy. I’ll be going back to ...

I’ve been checking online every few days t see if anyone has the 1250 jigs and cam chain tensioner tool but no luck.
I’d be very happy to hire them but I can’t find anyone so far. It’s so frustrating
