BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

... you can normally adjust the distance in which to keep from the vehicle in front ... ... and the active cruise may keep you further back than you need/want to be Think this is a good summary:-) You have 3 levels of adjustment on the RT system, distant, more distant and a long way back - well in ...

If you are looking for a franchise dealer there is BMW Motorrad Westerly Exeter (newly opened) and I believe there will be one opened in Taunton soon-ish! Peter

As I don't have the fabrication skills of Excellence :-) I contacted Frank at FMS Solutions mentioned above. Got a very helpful reply and have an FMS RFI Shield on the way to the UK. The FMS Website does not allow you to complete international purchases and I had a problem with the contact form. How...

Just to add to the thread, picked up my 2022 R1250RT fitted with a Wunderlich base holder for original Navigator - black - Part No. 21170-702 and I'm getting the "Lost Satellite Signal". Had time to play with it today, The Navi has lost its location 4 out of 5 times over three days. The sa...

If you are looking for new definitely worth calling a dealer. I wanted an "LE" but that model had disappeared from the UK configurator, called my dealer and they confirmed "can't be ordered right now". However, they found exactly the colour/spec I wanted within BMW UK and had it ...

New logo did not show when you first posted this, but does now:-) and looks great! Peter

Hi Mike, Which group are you joining, could be you/they have friends on here already:-) I'm with YFW and I know there is a need for more riders. Peter

If the flap wax stuck on a 22reg then you would have a warning light on the dash, the older models didn't do this but all the new 1250rts will. Yes that is a good point and if it is a 22 reg just call/take it back to the dealer. The flapper valve failed at 23 months on my 2019 R1250RT and you could...

Generally speaking the speedos I have had on BMWs over the last 10 years have got more accurate, my first K1600GT over read and at 70mph true GPS they would show 75 - roughly speaking, my R1200RT was similar.  However my K1300S was much more optimistic:-) showing at least 10% over!&nbsp...

As above, pretty sure it is "economy focused" to help you get better mileage...  Peter

I've had this a few times on BMWs, as long as it is not every time and not getting worse:-) you are good to go, Peter

Think mine had that too, probably some "H&S insurance" for the bag falling off, never used it, never had the bag come undone:-) Peter

I tend to use something smaller like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Givi-ST602-Spo ... B01BDXGLL4 however you can get larger sizes and "Tanklock" system seems quite good.  Peter

Can't remember if it worked on my 1200 or not, I don't think it did, but I'm sure someone will correct me soon if it does!  If it does not show it and it is supposed to work it will most likely a dealer tweak to get the mod done (I guess:-() Peter

I think unless you do a lot of night riding or REALLY want the LCD dash the 2020 is a GOOD bike to get:-) Peter
