1) The quality of finish on the engine, final drive, and wheels leading to corrosion.
2) The abysmal satnav, which was so clunky that I replaced it thinking it was faulty. I then sold the replacement on within 2 weeks… it was just as bad.

Re: Hello from SE England
Welcome aboard, nice to have another member down south. Screens are very individual and you’ll be spoilt for choice. At one time I had six… but gradually whittled it down to three - the standard, a BMW sports screen, and a Werks Quiet Ride from the USA, the latter is by far the best (and the most ex...

Re: Centre stand security
Cymark do them for the GS/A’s and they obviously make a profit… and I did suggest it several posts ago 🤣 E7447EBD-C44B-408B-9871-47BDA848FA06.png We just need the shaped piece of metal and a diagram of the correct location (in exchange for folding beer tokens) then we can get it welded and send it o...

Re: Centre stand security
Resurrecting an old thread - Did you ever keep any measurements/sketches after designing this marvellous piece of mechanical wizardry Sakm? I’ve recently come into possession of a spare centrestand and can hopefully get it made up locally, as I have no welding gear and my ‘O’ level metalwork skills ...

Re: Battery Life
I replaced my battery on my 2016 last year more out of precaution really! The battery was good but a couple of times I had the bike not turn over and the clocks reset so I thought best to be safe than sorry :) Always a good indication that your battery’s on its way out, mine was replaced for the sa...

Re: Denali Horn
I have the Denali one piece horn on the RT but far preferred the Nautilus horn that I had fitted to my old ST1300. To my ears there appears to be a momentary pause between pressing the horn button and the sound emitting, whereas it was immediate with the latter.

Mine sits on a CTEK when it’s not in use, I’ve done this with all my bikes and it’s never caused me a problem.

Re: Free Shaft replacement from BMW
No, my 2018 hasn’t had a dealer service in the last 4 years, but I still received a letter from BMW to get the shaft checked along with the footrests and ECU update FOC.

Re: Removal of top front fairings and headlight
These may help though I can't find the video and can only assume it' been taken down. These older posts refers to similar problems - https://www.bmwlt.com/threads/front-fairing-removal-problem-led-headlight-install.192909/ https://www.1200rt.com/viewtopic.php?t=3045&sid=9dd96033f23c7f153e735f419...
