BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

My first trip to the Bol d'Or in the 80's was two up on a Kawasaki KLR600 with camping gear, 1200 miles in a day, must admit I didn't want to ride the next day, which was OK as we were watching the racing

You use it in an emergency ..... ie if you lost your main key it can be used to turn on the ignition or open the luggage

If your details are correct i.e. a 2014 LC you don't be able to get the plastic key as the bike is not keyless and they only come with keyless bikes. you can order them for any BMW not just the keyless ones https://www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/search/selectCar/K52/ohne/BMW+R+1200+RT+%280A03%2C+0A13%29/ECE...

I tape all my emergency keys to a business card and slip them into my wallet, then if I lose my key when I'm out I can at least get home

Which reminds me I must order an emergency key for the RT

What's the point of that? I can already stream music from my phone to my helmet, without the need for a satnav, Nav6 or any other model... :-\ :-\ If you have the Nav you connect your phone to the Nav and the Nav to the helmet, that way the nav sucks the address book from the phone and displays it ...

one of the main new features of the Nav 6 is the ability to stream music from your phone to your helmet via the nav unit

This thread just keeps on getting crazier...

If your RT doesn't have audio there are no speakers behind the grilles, just empty spaces

to put an earlier (2005 to 2013) oilcooled RT into "service/transport" mode press the fob to arm the alarm, which should beep twice to confirm it's activated, then press the activate button on the fob again and it will beep three times When it's done this the motion sensor part is deactiva...
