Have you tried one ?, if it’s wrong I will email the seller.

I am after a link pipe for my R1250RT that will take a 60mm inlet end can. I found one but i think it would sit to high for the panniers. Does anyone have a link to who might sell them. Also can i ask if there is anyone on here who is able to make me one please ? If there is, PM me with the cost fo...

57 soon to be 58 here, when I got to 50 it was all downhill!!. Had the RT a couple of years now, before tha I had a pan European ST1300 which I got in 2006 so a long ownership. Previous to that I started out on a C50 at 6 yrs old and have owned and built a load of bikes in between .

I’m thinking of giving one of these a shot for under £200 🤔, there’s a few different finishes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276054835671?fits=UKM_Make%3ABMW&hash=item40462681d7:g:4P4AAOSw9iZi45iV&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4FzDr%2B7BsLNNexmkefLn7SOyX61lY0gvDNqFkej8kZ%2Bcr4ULq1AIQyRpS32AZswZ6vJA724j7...

Just had an email from the dealer I use saying the last tool I need will be in stock February 26th, that’s the cam chain tensioner tool,

Unexpected call from Cotswold bmw yesterday to say the cam alignment jigs have arrived!, half way there now just waiting on the cam chain tensioner tool

I thought the right to repair law covered all this and that they had to supply the equipment to service bikes/cars by law I’m not sure, it’ll be interesting to see what bmw uk say, they wanted the dealer name and order no which after speaking with the dealer in question I gave them. I made it clear...

No, nobody currently in the world has these tools for sale!. I had a reply from bmw today funnily enough, we shall see what happens next!.

I emailed bmw uk on Saturday re not being able to purchase the tools and the fact I paid £350 last December for them, I’ve heard nothing back yet.

Thanks for the reply’s , hopefully it goes well and she’s not in to much pain and sticks to the rehab.

So my 56 yr old wife has to have a complete knee replacement on the 24th… not what we expected but there it is.
Is there anyone that’s had a knee replacement and can still ride pillion on the RT or indeed any bike ?. It will be the end of my biking if she can’t.

I’ve come across this many times, even had one person block my any counter offer , why they add make offer is beyond me!.
I don’t use my dip lights for fear of blowing them and tackling a bulb change and I’m £££ conscious of using the aux lights

Not wishing to be rude but doi have to pay the £32 to become a member just to ask if they have the 1250 tools I’d like to hire ?.
