BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Regardless of the brand/type tire you are using. That is unacceptable tire wear unless you are in full race mode. Are your back tires getting the same type of mileage? If not, you have a major problem. With the type of driving you say that you are driving. The back tires should be wearing faster. My...

Welcome from Friendswood, Texas

Hi! I am a prospective owner of an RT, hopefully 2014 or newer. I currently own a 2014 F800GT, before that an ST. Before that, the list gets kinda long, stretching back to the late 1960's, mostly Japanese and British. During a recent trip on the GT down to the Blue Ridge Parkway and back (3200 mile...

I guess BMW corrected the problem by 2017, because I have never experienced the problem. But I hope I never do.

As I said earlier, I have some pride in my bike and I really didn't like the road rash look, so I attempted a fix. The fix could have gone better, but it doesn't look too bad for now.

I checked eBay and a used mirror is going for over $100. :mad: Yes, it's the same stuff you use for wrapping a car. Am not...

Damn, dropped my bike today and scratched up mirror plastic. Anybody got any recommendations on removing the road rash from the black plastic?

I have tried several 12v air pumps. Some draw too much current and will blow your fuse. I run directly from a battery charge connector with a 10 amp fuse. One of my older pumps even blew that fuse. That could be a real problem out on the road. Be sure to check your pump at home under extreme conditi...
