This is the rubber bung on our RT-P (the image is upside down!)

I’ve just replaced my dipped headlight bulb for the second time in 8 years and noted the same difference in resistance to each side of the clip. I found I had to place the pressure right on the far end/tip of the clip to get it to catch behind the hook. I took a photograph of the back of the bulb to...

I ended up using the reset password option too

I’ll take the GoPro mount please. I’ll pm you

All our RT-Ps are off to BMW for warranty work from next month. For the cardan shaft check and another recall which our workshops wouldn’t let me know about. Any bike with over 35000 miles on it will have the shaft replaced in any case.

My flap seized so I freed it up for it to seize again. I disconnected the cables from the flap end. On ignition ‘on’ both cables cycle/move alternately as a test. 2014 so no warning on the dash but an error listed on the GS911.

EDIT: it’s a Z8 having seen your other post

The drips have been there since I got the bike in 2014 and look like nail varnish runs and have never changed. (Uploaded from ...

I’ll sort one out over the next few days when I can view the dash in daylight, I realise I said I would post one in the previous thread but forgot.

I had it from day one on my 2014RT.

Folks insure a vehicle, get tax then cancel the insurance policy, but still have a certificate. When UK cops stop a vehicle and suspect no insurance they ring MIB direct and can find out if there was an insurance policy, who or why it was cancelled, even down to how many letters the insurance compan...
