To be honest I’ve not ridden it much and not at all come the winter. I am noticing the front is squaring off a bit though much sooner than expected. Handling is still good.

Re: BMW R1200RT Cam alignment tools

Hi, Are the tools that you bought compatible with 2018 BMW RT? I am very interested in buying them too, but before I place the order I want to ensure they are the right ones for my motorbike. It would be a costly mistake otherwise. Many thanks in advance, Pano. There is a difference between the 120...

I’m thinking of giving one of these a shot for under £200 🤔, there’s a few different finishes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276054835671?fits=UKM_Make%3ABMW&hash=item40462681d7:g:4P4AAOSw9iZi45iV&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4FzDr%2B7BsLNNexmkefLn7SOyX61lY0gvDNqFkej8kZ%2Bcr4ULq1AIQyRpS32AZswZ6vJA724j7...

Re: BMW R1200RT Cam alignment tools

I thought the right to repair law covered all this and that they had to supply the equipment to service bikes/cars by law I’m not sure, it’ll be interesting to see what bmw uk say, they wanted the dealer name and order no which after speaking with the dealer in question I gave them.

Re: BMW R1200RT Cam alignment tools

I emailed bmw uk on Saturday re not being able to purchase the tools and the fact I paid £350 last December for them, I’ve heard nothing back yet.
