BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Afternoon,
What makes a R1200RT "triple black"? Mine is midnight black with black engine, gearbox and rear drive, is it just black wheels which make it triple black?

Cheers

Been thinking about a sat nav for my 2018 Bike (Mat
ron as my friend's have named her!)

Ive got a TomTom 550 which i know i can get an adaptor for, however, i really like the intergrated look of the BMW Nav unit, are there any pitfalls with the BMW nav system over the Tom Tom one?

Cheers

Unfortunately dont have an Arai shaped head

So you get a touring bike and yet the topbox is internally about 10mm to low to fit a full face lid on its side. Tried all three of mine (bell, agv & shoei) all dont quite fit....

Hi yes, I have the full luggage including top box, inner liners, tank bag, just saw a bike with a RH compartment and it sparked my intertest, as I miss the large fairing box on the earlier models

You're an absolute star many thanks

Thanks, i guess the next question is, where do you get the plug from as its an odd fitting?

Evening all,
Admittedly I'm new to this whole BMW lark and a few things are "different" but what heck do you use the Aux Power Sockets for, and the bike has two of them?

Cheers

Many thanks all, I'll order a cable for the bike.

Cheers

Optimates come with all the cables required

I'm already happily using C-Tek on my classics and partners Triumph Street Triple, I'd rather not change.

Thanks for this, the bike came with a genuine bag, just looking at options for storage If you're just a small but conveniently located bag I've got a nearly new one of these for sale:- https://www.nippynormans.com/wunderlich/r1250rt-2018-on/wunderlich-cockpit-bag-r1200rt-lc-r1250rt-up-to-2020 Thank...

Evening all,
Can a 2018 R1200RT be trickle charged directly to the battery, only asking as I've seen one or two comments that canbus systems wont tolerante this?

Cheers

Many thanks for your help

Morning All,
Does anyone know the battery terminal size (assuming 6mm or 8mm) for a 2018 bike as I'd like to fit a CTek charger remote connection point to the bike?
