BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

That may be just marketing. When I traded my 2005 model for the new 2015,  I kept the same tank bag. I got that new ring for my keyless system, but left the same mating adapter on the bag. I didn't change it out. The old bag with the old adapter clicks write down on the new ring. I think t...

I have the SW-Motech Ion bag with the tank ring, and it doesn't interfere with my keyless ride in any way. Yes-- since posting this i contacted twisted throttle, the canadian sales centre, and they indicated that there is a special ring for the keyless system. Ring #306, i believe (its on its way a...

Not to be contrary, but i just watched a new 16 being uncrated here in canada (it arrived the wednesday before), and they are still silver here.

Hello DString50.
Depending on where you are, you can probably head to a dealer and take one out for a drive. And i completely understand the weight/balance issue as we age, so even sitting on the RT and jockeying it around with your feet will be a big eye-opener.

Judging from your photo, i would toss the dice and say that looks like a "standard" seat height. here is a link to three pictures showing the different heights side by side. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/bmw/2014-bmw-r1200rt-review-first-ride.html/attachment/2014_bmw_r1200rt_seat_...

I agree on the options -- bmw really puts a ton of time into the technical gizmos, and for the overwhelming majority they are trouble free

WOW! you must have seen some really wet weather.

For interest, the manual claims a maximum of 10A  TOTAL for ALL SOCKETS (page 184) . So -- there we have it!

I own a Tour-master Synergy 2 jacket liner (with sleeves and collar) . It draws 65 watts ,which is roughly 5 and a half amps alone. When i plug in my heated gloves (mated to the jacket liner/controller) that shoots up another 24 watts, or 2 amps. Since i rarely go above half power (these babies are ...

Yes bought from twisted throttle Horn came with two additional mounting brackets I used the stock one even though hole in bracket is one size larger. Used two thin washers with lots of blue locktite shouldn't go anywhere Key to the install is Bmw part Made it a very simple, clean install I see. Ver...

Actually-- i just noticed that the part number for TT is actually the Sound Bomb Mini, which does not require a relay. Furthermore-- i assume, by the look of it, the installation used the stock bracket too?

That's great to hear. I read the review on webbikeworld and they referred to some space challenges and the need for a relay in their smaller bmw. Wondering if you could post up s pic of your mounting  location. Thanks!
