BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Advice please. My 64 RT now has 54k miles, the starter button is having intermittent moments when nothing happens, no click and no engagement of the starter motor. At the moment after various numbers of attempts the starter will engage and the bike will start. Other times no problem at all, it will ...

Welcome from the snow covered UK.
great choice in bike
Tyres.....just fit them and ride off
but, your first mistake,
remember you may well be overtaken
as Blue is defo the faster colour  :)) :)) :))

I have a Ghost S that I am planning to attach to my helmet for use on the bike, along with a Poweradd Pilot X7 Power Bank, is this the kind of power pack mentioned earlier or am a I way up the wrong road? I was told that the Poweradd is only for charging phones and ipads........ Thanks for any guid...

On our way into town. If we agree that on entering a built up area with a 30mph speed limit in force we should be travelling at 30 mph, good. So, 50 mtrs inside the speed limit there is a hand held speed camera we should not be prosecuted for speeding as our speed is correct.  ;) On our wa...

Welcome Ken, excellent choice of bike and especially the 'fast' blue, enjoy, take care.

It seems that I've misunderstood your 'As always, comments and observations welcomed'


Hopefully you will soon realise just how much you have to learn. Good luck with that.

Hi B2TB I am curious as to why you went out on the bike to talk about things that had nothing to do with what you were doing on your bike at the time. Unfortunately, this in turn, detracted from you riding safely. Your speeds were erratic for the types of road(s) you were using. We should always av...

Cheers guys, I will investigate it further.


Take care.

Has anyone fitted the Wunderlich bar risers to their bike?
I'm thinking I need a bit of a lift from the handlebars and maybe some rearward movement too.
I believe that there is a reasonable lift from the risers but not too much additional movement to the rear.
Anyone used them?

Welcome, great bike to choose for your journey, if it's the fast blue you had better take it easy  :)) :)) :)) 

If camera switches off, silly question but...is the sd card in ....correctly.
re a power source see other topic on here .... Power Source on LC

Fitting the rear camera on the rear red reflector is an MOT failure I'm afraid, and could also attract an observant traffic officer....

Hi, I've discovered that when tapping into the o/s power socket (beneath the throttle so to speak) for a power source for a camera, when the socket is used for the Optimate charger, this seems to activate the power to the camera!! This means that the camera will now run constantly when charger is p...

What would I change on the bike? [/size] The screen could be a bit larger. [/size] The front mudguard could be a bit longer. [/size] Adjustable handlebars. On the left bar the rotating wheel would be better on the other side of the light switch cluster, allowing easier access to main beam, indicato...

What would I change on the bike? [/size] The screen could be a bit larger. [/size] The front mudguard could do with being a bit longer to protect the front engine cover. [/size] On the left hand bar the rotating wheel control should be on the other side of the light switch cluster, to allow fingers...
