BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I'm going to attempt this later this week or at the weekend, had a quick look up behind the light and not the best for access  :( Good luck, and just be patient, it can be done and its a very worthwhile upgrade. UPDATE: i've had a look at putting LEDs in the Highbeams also. But these look ...

Hi Pope. Got the LED bulb fitted ok. Any advise on clipping in the back holding spring into place and did you manage the get the back of the housing on ok. Sorry i missed your question. So i hope you got it fitted ok. Fitting the spring was fiddly but i did it ok, and the housing cover went back ea...

Sorry to hear about your altercation mate. I bet it was a shock, getting punted up the rear like  :eggs: .


Glad to hear your ok though, as it could have been much worse.

I'd agree hill start is not essential but that applies to a lot of the electronic features on the latest RTs. They're just highly developed bikes and BMW make a habit of constantly adding a host of newer such features to each new model. But since it came with the bike, which I've only had for a cou...

Nice video....lovely scenery up there.

Unfortunately not. The bars are not adjustable.


I can however recommend the Ilium bar risers, which also gives good forward and backward adjustment.

Strange. i'll have a look at mine in the morning.

No problems finding neutral on my 8000mile RTLC, and the rest of the gearbox is getting slicker with every mile.

Yes, it passed me off that we never got LED lights on the RTLC's,  And the Halogen lights are a bit shite.

But I'm very pleased with the LED marker, so I'll be upgrading the highbeams next.

I've finally managed to source a decent (actually very good) LED marker, that's at least as bright as a HID bulb. Its the new Philips LUXEON 6000K LED. And i'm very impressed with it, as i've had one on my Ducati during my recent 2000mile blast around France and Spain, where it performed brilliantl...
