head gasket
I have a 2014 wet head 1200RT that I have a new head gasket to put on. Is there a right or wrong side to put it on? It has a BMW part marking on one side, other than that I can't find anything on if it makes any difference or not.
thanks!!!!
thanks!!!!

death by exhaust valve
I have/had a 2014 wet head 1200rt that just recently busted a right side lower exhaust spring. Yes you read it right, it did. I babied that thing to. It red lines 9 grand and I don't think it ever seen even 5 grand. Anyway, the valve looks like it took out the...

Re: Low beam issues
I though of that too, and no staring the engine has no effect. I don't have wireless, and I also thought I remembered the beam was on demand. So I started it in the garage with door all down and dark. Still does the same thing.

The center (low beam) went out on me and I replaced it with a Sylvania H7 silverstar bulb. after many hours of the most excruciating time I haver ever spent... might I digress.. It didn't come on . So, in the middle of preparation for H...

Re: ASC and ABS waring lights
well after closer inspection, when they changed the tire the sensor ring got bent back quite a bit somehow. I took the tire off again and took the ring off and between a few friends, it looks a lot better than it for sure. (until I can get a new one) I put it back on bu...

ASC and ABS waring lights
I just changed the front tire on my 2014 1200rt. On the first roll out of the garage I noticed I didn't have any front break. After pumping the brake a few times it seem to come back ok. I then started out and the bike felt like it wanted to buck..just a few times then it quit and soothed ...

tire pressure monitor
My 2014RT tire pressure monitor for both the front and rear tires is reading about 9 to pounds lower than the actual pressure. The problem is that the bike seems to give a display warning if it reads lower than about 32 pounds. I don't want to overinflate just to clear the warning.&nbs...

Re: Poor FM reception
I seem to have very poor FM radio reception as on my 2014RT. I took the top covers off to look down in the abyss, and found what looked to be an unshielded bradded wire connection to the antenna...not a solid RG type I was expecting..Is that right? You say by ...

Re: no tire pressure reading
yes, I took a short 3 mile ride, still dashes for pressure. Its a nice problem, looks like maybe a trip to the dealer. If one tire was reporting in I could be pretty sure what the problem was, but neither one here. I think maybe a failure to communicate with t...

no tire pressure reading
Just changed my rear tire one 2014 1200rt and I went to check the tire pressure on the display and its not showing either the front or the rear psi. I was careful not to smash or pry on the sensor. I did change the screw in valve on the mag spoke ( the inside valve was not screwi...

Backrest
I was looking at backrests for the driver. Can anyone tell me if the bolt pattern for mounting these (under the seat) for a 2014 1200rt is the same as the 2013 model?
