BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Best leave it for now, don't alter your plans. Will look at it again when more folks are available.

I'm floating the idea of having a ride out this Wednesday 4th September 2024.

Meet at The Motorist (near Sherburn in Elmet), then ride to The World Peace Cafe (near Pocklington) and back.

Would this be of interest to anyone.

Hi Rusty, what kind of availability do you have, are we looking at mid-week or weekend.

Mid-week would probably suit the old man better, I can do either.

Thanks for the "heads-up" Rusty, it looks like there is a cafe at the Quorn & Woodhouse station, https://www.gcrailway.co.uk/station-fac ... woodhouse/

Our Gee lives a matter of 3 minutes walking distance away from me. I've seen the motorcycle in the flesh and it is stunning. If you would like a Twin Cam, IMO, you won't go wrong purchasing this one, you probably won't find a better example. Don't be put off by it being a private sale. A BMW warrant...

For me, Thirsk is only 30 minutes away from home. I'd consider attending the usual day ride out in the Yorkshire Dales on Saturday 31st May 2025.

The oil spec. for a Camhead is API SF / ACEA A2 or better.

The spec. of the Motul oil linked above is API SN / ACEA A3.

How about this one from OPIE Oils, https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-90213-motu ... e-oil.aspx it exceeds the BMW spec. for a Camhead.

Auntie Annes Bakery off Castlegate is free parking.

To Thirsk.

Camhead RTP's have a fan fitted behind the oil cooler. AFAIK, this can be retro-fitted.

"It's a pressurized system with two radiators and if BMW says that's what it's designed for, believe 'em." "I live in one of the hottest places in the US where our summer temps are generally over 110 degrees. My R1250RS has not overheated at any time in those temps. I do not see that...

Looking at this video reminded me of the following. As per the BMW Rider's Manual, the engine oil spec. is API SF / ACEA A2, or better, with various viscosity ranges based on the ambient temperature. No mention of JASO MA or MA2 for wet clutches. The 2012 Camhead has a car like dry clutch. The BMW M...
