BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Good idea Chris, perhaps you would like to run with this one and start a new thread, thank you.

Pick a date from May 7, 8 or 9 and if there is availability at the Abergavenny Premier Inn, Markus & I will consider booking 2 nights at the "Flex" rate.

As expected, Markus would be interested in an RT meet up. He, like me is fussed about whether it is wet or dry.

Anymore thoughts on a meet up around the Brecons. As above, I would consider it, I'm sure if available, Markus would be interested too. Pick a date and I'll look at getting some accomodation booked. Perhaps this could become one of many UK regional meets. Or, how about a meet halfway between Stratf...

At this price, could be tempted to use Z6's again, https://www.mandp.co.uk/products/120-70 ... mettp-0026

The Yuasa (wet flooded) battery on my Yamaha XJ650 is 7 years old.

Hi Chris, the sales invoice for my 2012 Camhead says it is an R 1200 RT SE. The only reference to MU (Model Update) is on the V5C registration certificate. I don't think that the latter has anything to do with the specification of the bike. My 2010 Camhead was the same specification. Hope this helps...

First time out this year on my RT today, did 170 miles. The bike was treated with an application ACF-50 by hand with a cloth. In places, the roads were very dirty. Will see how the Autoglym snow foam performs when I wash it.

The Exide battery on my 2012 Camhead is 5 years old. The bike has been stood for over 3 months. When the battery is put on charge, it always goes straight to maintain voltage. GEL batteries seem to be the best for holding their charge when not in use. Fired up the bike today, it started at the first...
