Instrument Panel Repair Kit

I have just purchased an Instrument Panel repair kit, the front of the screen screen and a gasket, for a 2019 1250rt. My screen is cracked and it lets in condensation. The repair manual talks about completing a back up software download before disconnecting. Is this necessary as I was just thinking ...

Re: Tyres - Cold to Warm Pressure Difference

The tyres on my 2019 are measured at 20 degrees centigrade as a reference. That attached picture comes from the manual page 140 for my bike year. Other pages say set it cold but it is only when you get to this page that it explains how the system works. I have a really accurate gauge and at 20c it w...

Re: 1250 shift cam operating question ?.

Yes mine does the same and the other one I test rode likewise. If you are changing from one cam profile to another surely the note of the exhaust must change as the gas flow is different?

Thread Lock during Spline Lube

A quick one I hope, I am about to do a Spline Service on a 2019 1250 RT and have watched a number of videos and searched for this but I am getting conflicting information. When you replace the Paralever Link onto the rear bevel I have found the torque of 56Nm but have seen everything from Red Loctit...

Re: Anyone else?

BMW do sell them individually, mine are inbound as I found one missing last week. Ordered a couple and the clips for around £30 delivered. I couldn’t find anything online that matched. Sorry I don’t know the part numbers yet. The other one was missing its clip and was just about to disappear. I mana...

Re: WindShield Washers & Battery Strap

You need the plastic bit the strap goes onto as well if you haven't got it :) Many Thanks. I grabbed a torch and can see that is still on the bike along with a peace of broken strap. I am guessing that the dealer mechanic, who put in the new battery, snapped the strap but didn’t have time to order ...

Re: WindShield Washers & Battery Strap

Thank you, I have ordered a battery strap as well as the missing pin and circlip. As suggested I will put the screen back on and see if the cracks grow. As it is a new to me bike I need to make sure the screen height is all good for me anyway. Cracking bike though and a light year from the R100RT wh...

WindShield Washers & Battery Strap

A quick couple of questions. Cleaning up my new to me R1250 2019 I took the screen off. It is the BMW original standard screen. I noticed that it looks like the previous owner has over tightened the screws as three of the holes have stress cracks 😳 so new screen incoming I guess. The question is are...

Re: R1250RT - check your screens

Just checked mine, it is the same. One pin missing and the other has the clip missing. On the phone tomorrow I guess. Meanwhile will have to find a couple of bolts to hold it temporarily. Thanks for the heads up. Did they have these in stock and just in case do you have the part numbers?
