BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

My 2007 RT needs a brake fluid change. The problem i have is i don't know how to with an ABS system. My ABS, non-servo system doesn't work but is still connected and i have heard i still have to bleed this too but i haven't a clue how to do this. Any pointers?

Roadtec 01 fitted, new EBC HH pads fritted to the front calipers(£42 for 2 pairs delivered). Now the problem, I cant run the tyres in as today we have winds of 80-100 mph. Pity as the sky is bright blue and not a raindrop in sight.

Not saying they are but there are lots of  Shoei and Aria helmets copies in China but they are mostly sold on Chinese websites. Just search google and if you type in cycle gear.com, the site that comes up has a very similar logo. The prices are what you would expect to pay in a shop. The si...

Are these still London dispatch riders these days?. Thought that Emails with electronic signatures would have killed the industry. There used to be pages of jobs for riders in the MCN. In those days i was out whatever the weather chucked at me. Now if it's raining when i get up, i don't go out on th...

A clown, more like one less brain cell than a blonde(my wife is a true blonde so i know what am stating). I better not fit the Grip Puppies as they've not a BMW recommended accessories. DUH

I remember taking a bike into a garage as i thought there was something wrong with the rear end. The bike was still under warranty, so i thought it would be covered. After dropping off the bike and looking around the showroom a man started running after me. As this was the time of the Brixton riots ...

Tyres will be with me tomorrow morning. I removed the wheels this afternoon and a good job i did. The inside brake pads were near to the metal. So ive had to order 2 packs of EBC HH pads to fit. Not bad price at £43 total delivered. Already fitted a new disc and pads to the rear. Expected to do bits...

Only ebay for £185 a pair. 6 months ago i paid £240. What comes to mind id they are fazing out the standard one and now only the SE versions. Hence the price drop some are passing on.

I went for the standard version. Not the latest SE or the HWM. Found an email reply from another site where the chap asked the same as i was wondering." Metzeler recommends the normal tyres unless you are doing the majority of pillion riding". As i ride on my ownsome and don't have a top b...

Yes, David seems to be the BMW RT encyclopedia on here. He comes over as very knowledgeable chap on the subject. Anyway ive ordered a pair of Metzeler Roadtec 01. Had these on a Tiger 1050 and a Pan European when they first came out. Found them excellent in the dry and i could even drag a peg in the...

You said. "Theory being BMW recommended pressures can not be the same for every tyre". Different styles of riding, the rider's weight, etc. You have to take this all into account on tyre pressures. Most of the bikes ive owned ive always had to play around with pressures.

Thank you, David. This is the information i was looking for. The previous owner did a lot of motorway miles hence the squaring off. Cupping i usually put it down to braking on a heavy bike and yes pressures do come it to it.

At the moment i have PR4 none GT tyres fitted to the RT. After inspecting the front for a slow leak which i cant find. I have also found the front is cupped and the rear, although loads of tread depth left it is slightly squared off. I've read loads on sites regarding BMW RT tyres but can not find a...

I know this thread is a little outdated. I would like to add my penithworth. My wife owns a Mini and as we know this is a BMW series 1 with a different body. The car is set up with the same SOS system as the BMW cars and bikes. We had the same problem with the system with lights flashing and false c...

I would suggest trying to re-torque the bolts first. You never know it may save hassle and money.
