BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi Bandytales, I haven't got a smart phone to be able to take a picture and post it. It's a bit difficult to explain but if you can visualise loads of small elongated puffs of black dust, interspersed all along the circumference of the wheel rim, you have it spot on. To be fair, the replacement call...

Thanks Casbar, I have also checked other RT 1250's and the wheel rims do not show the puffs of brake dust that my wheel shows.


Anybody else out there with my same problem or knows why this is happening??

Just had the faulty calliper replaced by my dealer. Guess what, the calliper is not leaking any brake fluid but the puffs of brake dust over my front right rim are happening all over again. Has anybody out there got the same problem or knows what the problem could be due to ?? Starting to get on my ...

I fitted Wunderlich crash bars to my 1250RT. They look ok although, I hope never to have to test them. The instructions that came with the bars were a bit vague but I found a good you tube video by Illium works which shows what to and how to remove.

Went to my dealer yesterday and they have placed an order for a new brake calliper. They didn't argue much when they saw the state of the wheel, although the calliper in itself was all dry. Seems I am in luck. The part should be available on September 7th so I will see how it goes.

I've only done 585km on mine so I still have to do the 1000km 1st service but I emailed the stealer this morning and am waiting for a reply. No BMW Motorrad dealers on the Rock, I had to import it from Spain

Thanks David, I have seen that thread and it seems that I am not the only one. Interestingly I mentioned the problem to my dealer some time ago and he told me that it was the first time he'd heard of it. I wonder what he'll say now. Don't know if it's safe to ride the bike or not.

Haven't used my bike for 3 weeks as I've had some lower back issues. This morning I saw a few droplets of brake fluid on the front right rim of my bike. I also stuffed some cleaning paper into the calliper and there were brake fluid patches when it came out. Definitely brake fluid leak. Anybody else...

Hi, I am new to this forum and just got my RT 1250 3 wks ago. Took it for a long ride a couple of days ago and when I got back I noticed that the front right rim was full of black splatterings. The left side of the front rim also had black specks but not as many. I inspected the splatterings with my...
