BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Having found the headlight at night on my ‘16 LC is rather pants I had a recommendation to change to Intel LED bulbs. Well I changed them and the dip beam is not much better. So are there any other bulbs that are any better? I have used Oscan Nightbreakers in the past which improve the light output ...

Good job my hair doesn’t need tongs!

It seems I will be able to get it all in.

Thanks all. I will try a dry run!

I am short (5’9” if I’m lucky), size 7 feet and take a large in most things. Smallish head too at 57cm.

I am wondering if it is possible to fit my textile suit (jacket and trousers with armour), full face helmet and my riding boots in the panniers and top box? I know they are huge and since it is cold and wet I can’t get in the garage to try at the moment. I am presuming it’s possible as the helmet fi...

Yes I think they do. I’ve got a Zumo XT but they do others too. Tom Tom https://www.adapter3dmotorrad.com/en/product/tomtom-rt/ too

I am thinking of fitting the high level brake light to my top box but can’t justify the cost of a new one. Anyone know of a used one for sale? Obviously it needs to fit a genuine 49 litre top box!

I got one of these to save a bit of faffing about. Fits the sat nav mount brilliantly and pops off using the standard release button.

This morning I was on a 270 mile round trip and 20miles in the rear TPMS sensor was showing a red tyre and no pressure - just 3 lines/dots. After stopping and checking the tyre lo and behold the tyre was at the correct pressure with no nails etc in the tyre. So I carried on and the tyre pressure was...

Cheers. I’m new to this heated seat stuff, plus cruise, ESA, electric screen etc.

I have just bought a 2016 LC which has Wunderlich seats. Both are heated but how can you tell if they are actually working? I tried the rider seat today (yes I know it was about 20C) as I wanted to check. I couldn’t feel any heat through it so will it only work below a certain temperature? I put it ...

No Bluetooth is fine as I’m used to using the sat nav. Just got to wait for the Italian 3D company to have the RT Garmin XT adapter back in stock so I can mount it without too much trouble.

Well it has everything apart from the radio by the looks of things and i bought it from a BMW dealer. I’ll ask them to check the splines and the flaps as it is being serviced by them as part of the approved used scheme. As it doesn’t have the radio does it have Bluetooth? I assumed it didn’t.

I’m coming from a Tiger 1050 so not that much difference in weight. That carries its weight quite high so the RT is lower CoG.
