Heated seat malfunction on 2014 LC

Here's a teaser that I had given up on but perhaps the combined knowledge of the forum might have a clue... The heated seats controlled by the wonder wheel on my 2014 RT LC have been temperamental from new. The rear was replaced under warranty as a faulty seat, but the front has a mind of its own. S...

Re: Helmet storing /carrying

The following link provides an example of the top lid cracking where the fixing screws and washers provided by Wunderlich haven't been up to the job of the new style lid. Obviously overloading is the root cause in this instance but experience has shown slightly longer screws (due to an increased gap...

Re: How is the new RT in hot weather?

Hey Apehair, I just ordered the new Cee Bailey sport shield for my 16 RT (my kids wanted to know what I want for Fathers day). It should arrive next week. The smaller size (21x15) should flow more air and help with these +90° days. I will let you know. Please do. I'm presently suffering in 80/90 F ...

This is because the new style top box lids are double-sk...

Re: Bmw warranty

Do you know if the extended warranty cover is the same as the OEM warranty? Or is it a re-branded (and re-priced) insurance product from another provider, with inferior protection to what the new bike came with? My dealer just sucked his teeth when I asked... maybe because it was a dumb question, bu...

Re: Navigation V Security

Bit of a pointless discussion really, it doesn't lock - end of  :) Bad form by me to make my first post by challenging you, but RTman10's suggestion of storing the Nav 5 in the front locker never occurred to me and it's the most useful contribution I've seen in a forum for weeks. Now, what...
