BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi, glad you got sorted, its a good product, gives about 100% extra coverage.  I gave the parts a wipe over with some ACF 50 prior to assembly.  Gives you more confidence leaving on the side stand.      Wonder way AMC have changed the `promotion'&nbs...

Contacted AMC Moto  re side stand enlarger on 01494-856091 and spoke with Alison.    Price of the Kit,  is currently £32.99  with an additional £3.99 for postage ( UK ),  I mentioned I was comparing the various sites for this type of kit and tha...

Had a few days touring ( that's  trying to `cram' as much in  as possible ) around the D Day Normady Beaches,  Good company and believe it or not excellent weather  for the end of September.  No doubt  some of you have already done this `tour’.&...

Thanks for that,  I mean one of the lower bolts going in at 2nm !!  ( according to the BMW instructions ) that's  only slightly over `hand tight' and I've only got a huge heavy duty car torque wrench, would have snapped the bloody  lot... :-\ Regards, Steve Ride S...

Snap  ;) Also got the `Midnight Blue' ( albeit today somewhere under the road crime !! ) 5.2 k mileage, just got to fit the cylinder head  protectors sometime, but not sure whether or not they can be just done up hand tight or not, as leaflet suggests use a torque wrench  ...

If anyone with a pre 2014 bike is interested I have a pair of  genuine BMW mirror adapters  ( £38 at `Nippy Normans' ) ,  will let them go at half price , see photo of one.    These merely replace the top  `section  of the existing' moun...

As a result of reading the above posts, I went ahead and fitted some to the RT  -  perfect, wish I'd done it earlier, £13.99 well spent (Ebay).    No more `tingly'  vibrations and now a firmer feel for the grips.    Just hope they last ...

Hi all, any of you  `new 14' owners have an earlier style  2010 -2013,  R1200rt , Tank Bag you want to off load , there's several on Ebay,  but thought I'd try the forums members first . Regards, Steve    8) got one now so no longer sought

Very good and informative photo's and what a neat professional looking job.. nice one mate 

For the money I would suggest the lower mileage one.  Its then just down to condition and service history.  The engine changed on the 2010 model so check they are not 2009 bikes registered late. Get the dealer/seller to explain in detail their specs as they can vary a lot, ie ESA,...

Hi,  how do you intend to fit the Optimate, if it’s not the `canbus’  compatible type,  I’m guessing then direct to the battery with a lead out from the panels somewhere ? Very nice `pic’s’,  but park in the back of the yard and use a Bike Cover  to hide ...

Hi All, have been reading all the Audio related comments  and to assist those who didn't get a Audio Manual with their Bike,  attached is a pdf of its use and setup.  My Bike is a 2012 RT se.  I believe the manual covers from 2010 to 2013,  hope it is of...
