BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Since i had my chest infection last month, i have had a cough and been coughing up a lot of mucus. The cough is starting to get me down a bit, so i started to google for some info before i go back to the doctors. I read some info, and thought if its that simple i will give it a try to see if what i...

My RT with panniers and top box is 99% of its parked life, on its side stand. It is the most awkward balanced bike to get on the centre stand in all my 50 years of riding motorcycles. Yes I know the rear plank of wood trick makes it easier, but still hassle.

Black looks better and cheap enough to buy.

Do I have it -No.
Do I miss it -No
Do I want it -No
Have it on my car and never use it, does that make me a control freak ,or just old?

Lower seat is available, but it has very little padding and feels like a plank after 100 miles.

At first glance, that is just what I thought too.

Looks ebony to me, but the light can make it look nearly black too.

Good job, well done.

Just tried the BMW safety recall site and no recalls due for my bike, however just had urgent letter from BMW for the foot peg issue.

Anyone know what is the difference in spec between a 2015 spec LE and a 2016 LE ? All I can see visually is the reflector on the fork leg.

Having watched my Navigator pop out twice whilst riding ( luckily caught it before falling to the ground ) I too am liberal with the silicone spray to make sure eject system slides better.

I sometimes have the same problem when the bike is on the side stand. When it was serviced by BMW, the tech guy said he could not find a problem putting on, or taking off the panniers. I assume the bike was on main stand on their lift whist he was doing this?

I never let my tank empty so low that it might suck up any crap lying in the bottom of it on either bike or car.
