BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I’ve not used the stop and go (sorry) but I have used the Rema tip top kit in anger. It was great and easy to use. I carry one everywhere now. It got me all the way home to the uk from the Swiss/french border and after my confidence grew and a stop to check everything I rode all home at normal motor...

I don’t know about the new one, I have a 2014 LC with a Nav V - you can use the wheel to switch between screens and also zoom in/out. I’ve also found it very useful while travelling to quickly zoom out to check out the route and terrain. I’ve chosen the sat nav part of the menu as the favourite shor...

I have Road Skin jeans. They were the best ones I found at the NEC show in my opinion Very happy with them. I also took the advice of the head guy, mine aren’t waterproof, he sells both types but I see myself wearing them in the summer when waterproof ones are likely to make you sweat. I intend on w...

I can’t tell you what it displays on the VI as I only have the nav v and it does not show texts etc But  it does work for traffic updates and issues on your route. You can also send a destination from the phone to the Nav. For a free app it’s ok. Data use is minimal Sent from my iPhone usin...

Hi! You haven’t said which model of RT you’re looking at. If it’s the LC (post 2014) model then it will have more power and a smoother ride. Anyway any RT from 2005 - 2018 will be lighter than your 800lb Harley and will be perfect for two up riding. My wife and I weigh more than your combined 300 an...

So the charger should be a NOCO genius model

These all sound like good solutions, thought I’d share my own which has so far held up for 3000+ miles. The previous owner had used a glued on tab which fooled me when buying my 2014 LC, but didn’t last long. I used SUGRU to make a tab, thinking the flexible rubber like tab would cope with vibes and...

Sullivj - I have the owners manual as a PDF on my iPhone I  have also found the value of having a reference whilst on tour!!

Glencoe - could you add a pic of your set up? I've just changed from the older RT to a 2014 LC model and want to fit my Roadhawk. Like you I want power that switches on/off with the bike and I'm grateful for you finding the solution - but where exactly did you mount it? By the way I can't use the GP...

I bought one too - it's great for the LC fitted mount
