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

Handlebar Lighting

Post by weyres »

Hi Everyone, weird question here….should all the buttons and switches on the handlebars of my ‘08 light up? Things like turn signals, seat & grip heaters, ESA, BC, etc. Seems weird that they wouldn’t but I can’t find any info in the manual and the BMW technician at my nearest shop is out for weeks…thanks

I own a 07, mine doesn't light up and i think even the new models don't. Their not like the KTM switches that do
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.

No. None of them light up.
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
