BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

A bit late to the discussion.
I can also recommend GP Performance - near H Cafe.
He generally doing all brands, recently had my wifes HD on service there, and I'm really happy with outcome.

The BMW system is cell phone driven and if you lose cell coverage, so goes the nav. Not really. it is on the phone, however all maps you want to use have to be downloaded onto phone. That means it is more like TT or Garmin rather than Google. If your phone see satelites it will be working. This sam...

Thanks a lot for all your comments. E-bay/ Aliexpress was indeed great budget option, but the timing for delivery was out of my scope I'm afraid. I'm starting today my holiday trip to Sweden, so wanted that for the journey. I did looked at Nippy Normans ones, but I found another UK based company htt...

@sakm
Actually something happen just 5 minutes ago.
When I try to answer PM I seen first just "delete" button, no reply, or anything else.
Then I try create a fresh PM and system say - "You are not authorised to send private messages."

As you know 15 minutes ago all was OK ::)

Hello everyone. Maybe someone use it or used before. Due to recent a bit hotter days ;D and incoming holiday trip I was thinking about buying the Cool Seat Cover - either from Nippy (they have Wunderlich) or from Cool Covers UK. Whatever will be better. I'm not really looking for increase comfort wh...

@Arek i can certainly look at styles for you that's no problem I just need to go careful as developers have a habit of not updating them after a while so need to get something that is well supported Thank you so much for that. And yes. I know that some things are abandoned quite often by devs. Had ...

Hi, Thanks a lot for your work @sakm. I really appreciate it. I have one questions. I found two board styles -standard (which burn my eyes totally ;D ) and Silver which is a bit better but still very bright. I know that everyone have it's own preferences, and maybe I am in the margin. But is there a...

That was my thinking too. The brace do not prevent, it will be a bit harder to do that. But it is like with all bike locking stuff, disk locks, chains, paddocks, etc. If there is a one bike with those things, and one without guess which one will be targetted. I seen pictures that GS TFT was really a...

Hi everyone. Recently when I was a bit bored and browse through Nippynormans site I found the anti theft bracket for RT TFT. I heard that RS and GS TFT's are quite easy to nick, and there were quite few reports that it been done. The unit is not cheap, so I understand the point of that mod. My quest...

Yes, indeed. As that is known for years, actually decades now? (even couple as I remember phpBB by Przemo very long time ago)
Anyway. Looks like it is excellent choice then.

But we need to move forward If you click the link in my signature for zumouserforums that's the software I am thinking of using. The ZumoUsersForums is nice and clean phpBB. Looks nice and clean. I thought that this engine phpBB was abandoned good few years ago, as I seen many forum admins switched...

I have run forums for a lot of years and do know what works and what doesn't etc In my opinion, just update to the best soft/ engine if possible without loosing too much data. Users will adapt to changes very quickly, and if that upgrade will help you in future, and generally cause less issues and ...

my dealer reluctant to update the software and said it could brick the bike and the expense to fix would be on me ... That's (excuse language) a full bull shit. If the update is done by the BMW garage, and they brick it, then they fixing it. Simple like that. That's the reason why my dealer always ...

Nav gone. removed from main post

Casbar. Thanks for tip. Looks like I need to buy elevated subscription for that forum to be able to post items for Sale.
As I'm not using it very often I'm not sure if I'll bother to do it so ;-)
Yes. I'm extreme lazy. I know.  :))
