BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Welcome. Nice bike. My dream to tour Greece by bike. Your a lucky man!

Is that from Benhams by any chance?
I had an RS aas a loner and had a great day with it and some quite spirited riding. Good bike.

I bought the larger size -http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291909390241? ... EBIDX%3AIT
One leg needs shortening and bending into a ring. It then fixes with the two screws situated top left and right. No other mods required.

To ease application of the decal (or vinyl film) wet the area its to be applied to and the back of the decal with water to which a drop of detergent (Fairy will keep your hands soft as well) has been added using a spray bottle. This will allow you to slide it into position. Once its positioned perfe...

Apparently each case is decided on 'Merit'. Casbar is obviously a person of 'Merit', I just hope I am. The same dealer told me that a few years ago when the Final Drive bearing on my GS went on the wobble. At that time I was refused. A quick phone call to Pidcocks and I was adjudged to be of merit a...

I wondered what it was for! My 2015 LC runs sweet as but my dealer have informed me that the valve is stuck (common problem),being replaced on Thursday under warranty.......... Thank God! I had no idea at the value!!!!!! Lucky man. Mine is on the assured warranty which apparently doesn't cover this...

Fortunately its seized in the fully open position.

Flap working or not the bike is running beautifully and had I not removed the can I wouldn't be aware of the problem(?) In response to LAF I don't believe its a carbon build up, I think it's corrosion that causes the issue. I have since removed the black plastic cover to have a good look at the mech...

Just had my silencer off on 64 plate (Sept 2014) RT to remove the wheel. [size=2px] The bike is outside warranty but is covered by the 'Assured Warranty' which I took out when the original expired. [/size] [size=78%]While it was off I checked the valve in the exhaust pipe to find it seized solid. Wh...

Are you sure you have not mixed the two screws up?
Some screws have a long unthreaded shank on them whilst others do not.
If you mix them up you cannot tighten down on the panel.

Consider Roadtec 01s.  Stability is great and they look like they will last well. I'll agree with that. You say the handling is still OK? Wait until the new ones go on then you'll realise how it has deteriorated. I replaced the Z8's on mine at about 7K with 01's (must be HWM type) and it w...

Ahhh the Bells the Bells!!!

[size=2px]<<There are some very effective OEM pannier protectors for yours.&nbsp; From memory they are about £70 but the lids are well over £200 each.&nbsp; Made of a hard rubber compound. >> [/size] [size=2px] [/size] [size=2px]Or you could go to Halfords and buy a set of Bumper Protectors...

Nice report and I am deeply envious although the weather here was pretty good over the last weekend.

This is starting to sound like the scene from Spartacus when Crassus (Olivier) was telling Antonius (Tony Curtis) that some men liked meat whilst others liked Fish. (What's called a euphemism I believe?) I don't remember Antonius liking both though. Perhaps we could persuade Casbar and GuzziRick to ...
