BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

There is no age limit and the mileage at the start of cover needs to be less than 80,000. I'll be taking out a new (previously lapsed) policy on the 1st March (to start on 1st April) for my 11 year old 2012 Camhead. At £35 per month for 7 months, (with £100 excess inc. Roadside Assistance), I think...

In reply to extended warranty and is it worth it.......yes would be my answer, especially on an older second hand bike bought at the dealership. I didn't take up the offer of extending the warranty and several months later I needed a replacement lambada sensor, followed by a fuel controller months ...

The Exide GEL12-19 is now £75 from Tayna Batteries, https://www.tayna.co.uk/motorcycle-batteries/exide/51913/ or £280 for this Bosch Lithium alternative, https://www.tayna.co.uk/motorcycle-batteries/bosch/51913-lithium/ At just over £40, this Numax battery is the cheapest in the 51913 range from Ta...

Fair enough, are you going to get one. I can't find a lithium battery in the UK for £114. At £250, this is the equivalent replacement battery for an Exide GEL12-19, https://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shorai-lfx21l6-bs12-12v-21ah-lithium-battery.html :shock: Bit the shed - 'ow much? :shock: Not going to h...

Summat's loose innit. Now begins the labourious process of wire/connection checking and multimeter reading. I don't envy you. Here's hoping it's something obvious.

I voted yes because I think some of the owners of the older models will have vast knowledge and spannering tips on keeping them alive and running well. FB_IMG_1675362141924.jpg Please...not "der panzer brigade" It'll turn into a fashion section and where to get the best half caff, low caf...

Social media has destroyed a lot of forums and I have seen it happen! People want a quick answer to a question and social media does that sadly its a lot harder to search social media for an answer without asking the question. There is no place for you to document stuff as you go on like a rebuild ...

When I took over the forum I started looking at the stats in the background and to be honest they wasn't great which isn't a jibe at STeinar as it was totally out of his control Its actually a fault of the old software it was rejecting and blocking a lot of new members and not allowing people to re...

Despite the cold it was DRY today so with that in mind I went for an hour up the A6. Because of the weather this has been my first ride on this actual bike, my reasoning being that it'll never be this clean again in my ownership and I have to say I am more than impressed. I won't bore you all with t...

Have you tried the K1600 facebook page?? Some of 'em would buy dog turd if you put a blue and white badge on it https://www.facebook.com/groups/1010184 ... &ref=notif

This gives you an idea of likely costs https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/ One thing to remember about parcel delivery companies is that they will often pay the import duty "on your behalf" to speed up the delivery process, then hold your item until you pay them back said duty P...

Which item did you get, if you don't mind me asking? Could you by any chance give a link as I'm quite unfamiliar with this Alithingy? I have been ordering stuff from China for a few years and I have never been let down. Alibaba/Aliexpress aren't the only big site,there's also one called DHGate. The...

Hi folks, had a two and a half year old R1250RT delivered about a week ago and if the roads here in the salty NW ever dry up I'm looking forward to getting out on it. Traded in my 12plate K1600 after being in that famouse river in Egypt about the weight of the thing for the last three years or so. S...
