Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

If your bike is a 2018 then it will have the OBD Port. Looks the same as fitted to all cars since around 1996.

It's in the battery "compartment", impossible to miss. You need to remove the lower right hand side panel to get there, a one minute job (quite literally).

Is this it below the red jump start terminal? If it is, is the diagnotic the plug or the socket it goes in. In my VW Tiguan the diagnostic is an oblong socket you plug into.

How to locate the Diagnostic connector on your BMW motorcycle, https://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-9 ... motorcycle

R1200RT LC underneath the triangular panel on the right.

In later (2016+) EURO4 compliant bikes, the connector will be the rectangular 16 pin.
