BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

mention it and see what they say if you would rather do it yourself

yea, my thoughts as well, if its a known issue with a fixed cost then will probably let them get on with it but if its a leave your credit card and we will investigate.... it'll be a winter project..

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 removing...

Still weighing up options, erring towards doing the service myself.. seen this scan tool, anyone used it? Im not finding a lot on youtube re checking vaves etc....

No Additional work, just had another quote from a different dealer, £400 or £350 without brake fluid….

Been searching about and found this
Im assuming the 1250 is OBD and not the 10 pin.....

So, dealer wants £515 for this service, bikes just turned 3yr old and has done 11,500 miles so warranty is over. Oil change - no problem Air filter - No problem Valve clearances.... - probably but never done a shift cam Spark Plugs - no problem Re set service light?.... I assume I need a scan tool /...

Which tyre fitting contraption is that,looks a lot better than my setup. Proworks from XL Moto, I bought it years ago and only used it once, wasnt a good experience.... chased it a round the garage floor for a while then resorted to tyre levers, thought I would give it a go again but this time I bo...

New tyre fitted and repair kit ordered (thanks Steve), fitted the tyre twice as I do it nice....

First time the rotation was wrong

anyone got a fleabay link for a kit they recommend? Always meant to get one and throw it in the pannier... just about to fit a new tyre so a punture is likely

This looks like it confirms using with non LCD Rt's....... old footage but as previous message they say it works with the older style bikes.

Thinking out loud, I wonder if we could use this on the non LCD RT's and get rid of the Nav6 ..... just cant get along with the Nav6 especially annoying re the cost......

Would this effectively give us Apple car play on our phone screen? Interested to see how Mozza gets on..

Snow foam & jet wash for me, screen & rest of bike, after every trip then a wash with a noodle sponge / car shampoo now and again. Will probably wax it this spring, still looks ike new after 8K mies.

Friend of mine brought one of these into the work one day.... as you do, we then took turns clamping it to our heads while another blew compressed air onto it some workout for the neck muscles

Today's adventure, pic taken just after Talla Reservoir, Meggit resevoir next then St Mary's loch.... maybe not the ideal road for an RT but she can do anything.... well almost

Top of the Rest & Be Thankfull...... cant help stopping there each time
