BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I have seen some conflicting information but fuel modulation is the most logical option, but if that is the case I don't understand why you would get unburnt fuel in the exhaust...

I am not sure whether BMW quickshifters cut the spark or the fuel injection... if they cut the spark then I would expect to hear that a lot more but I haven't heard it at all.

Does this only happen in certain gears or at certain RPMs or across the range?

The manual usually has a few actual blank pages in the back, seen those used before, should give you a few years yet if you haven't already used them?

The LC is a better bike in NEARLY all respects. It certainly feels more agile to push around. However, If I were 5'7" I would think very carefully before I tried to paddle any of these bikes around. The LC is faster, quicker, more economical, has less faults that have flagged up on the various...

In addition, retrofitting the electrics may not be possible as the case isn't equipped with th requisite harness/switch. If the OP is looking for a box with lights then he needs to start with an electric case, unless someone can provide details on conversion parts. The 1200 does also use the electri...

Does it have a plug hanging out of the bottom that has to be connected to the bike?

I have the feeling that the light is potentially refittable (fittable) to a standard box ? ..... in that case (if correct) a any standard box off a 1200 / 1250 / K1600 will do your job. Worth checking this  - going rate appears to be in the £250 to £350 region , dear but a lot cheaper than...

Drive a relay from the rear light, and power from the battery.

Is your dealer suggesting there is nothing wrong with the bike or that there is something wrong and they cannot find it?

I think it will be 62117692024

Some movement is acceptable, it is a floating disc after all. Some models like the k1200 came from the factory with a sloppy rear disc assy. Less than a mil doesnt sound bad

Its almost a certainty that cost was a factor in moving away from Brembo but cheaper doesnt necessarily mean worse. I can't say anything negative toward the hayes system so far. While the leak is an embarassing way to launch their new partnership, it happens, and on the whole it has been dealt with ...

It may not be continuously variable, or infinitley variable but it is undoubtedly variable in that changing from one to another is varying. The reliability question is fair, but I have not heard of any failures yet and the three year warranty certainly allays my fears. As far as the brakes go I real...

Not just about power, also have to consider fuel economy, emissions and the general character of the engine - all of which can be influenced by VVT

It does, and the 'Last Ride' page has all the same data.
