BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi Glenn, Strongly suggest you watch the video below from White Dalton solicitors. Pay particular attention to the bits about not qualified legal advisers appointed by insurance companies and the bike hire scam.

I thought they were akin to what they used to call the 'look mum' hatch they had in submarines, but good to hear it actually worked. I hope you weren't injured and the bike's not too damaged.

Yes, washed my Richa Atlantic Jacket & Trousers after I lived in them for virtually 48hrs in plus 25C temperatures for a couple of days last summer. I used the standard Nikwax Technical Wash, then the reproof stuff I uses for my cycling & mountaineering kit. All worked fine. Apart from the o...

That's exactly what I use with my R1250RT and Garmin XT. It looks as OEM as you're going to get.

I've got my initials, year of birth and month, e.g. CS 61 DEC. To anyone else it looks a normal, but I know what it means, however is never going to be worth anything.

I think your RT is the same series as mine with dial clocks. Where do you find the run time?

Got to admit I hadn't heard of that make before, but that's a neat solution, however at £210 (£220 for the bling version) it's a pricy bit of kit. That said, have you seen the price of a good disc lock nowadays that is both less convenient to carry and judging by review below, ain't as good either. ...

I've used Autoglym Engine & Machine cleaners and got good results.

Flash2Pass.com, ............... FYI - Flash2Pass have ceased trading, and the company that acquired the rights (NSDC) have discontinued them. They do have a replacement but 1/ It looks one heck of a lot more complicated. And 2/ It's $260 before I even think about shipping & import costs to the ...

No, I took my OEM one off when I installed the Mini Soundbomb.

You need to be aware that you can vary the brightness and turn off your extra light via the Wonder Wheel and on some models also turn them off through pressing the indicator switch for too long and/or pressing it repeatedly. It's difficult to do accidentality but it can be done. If you think as I di...

I dont have a radio so ....... To be honest the OEM radio on my '18 is a waste of time. AM & FM only and a 3.5mm jack socket for an MP3 player. I mean who still broadcast on those frequencies or uses an ipod nowadays. Then there's the wind & engine noise, not to mention my head's inside a h...

This is something that I also want to do! The actual doing bit wasn't that bad, just took a bit of courage to drill the hole! The remote was sitting unused in the spares drawer, the push button cost £8.00, the hole cutter £5.20, (both from Amazon) and the soldering & wire a beer. Quite cheap an...

Something I've been wanting to do for a long time is to fit a press button somewhere on the fairing so when I get home I can press the bottom as I approach the garage and ride straight in. I looked at several kits, all horrendously expensive and overly complicated so I made my own! I now have a full...
