BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

We are talking on another forum.

Hello, welcome! My wife has been attending a couple of weeks of adult education learning in Cambridge for the last few summers. She's there for 2 weeks now..and next year I'm trying to get things in order to come over with her. The thought is to bring all my Cam Timing and Valve Clearance Maintenanc...

There are 3 screws that are longer without shoulders in each engine fairing starting with the 2019 and usually no screw on the tank cover forward point under the each side glove box. On the Torque Sheet, the new value for the rear Brake Caliper is 28Nm vs 24Nm. I may make a completely NEW version of...

It is actually DOT4 LV (Low Viscosity). This is what is specified now for bikes back as far as early 1990’s R-series as well as others. What’s stamped on the reservoir cap won’t be updated, but specifications from BMW are changed from time to time. You can keep up to date with your particular model ...

Looks like a solution.

If you have a WetHead 1200, this shop aid will help. It keeps your screws from being lost and reminds you of not putting back all the screws and where they should go if you have some left over on reassembly. I take this file to my local FedEx Office printing location and have them print it out 12x18...

Here's some info on checking VALVES.

With the range being 0.10mm for both the Intake and Exhaust, and the hemispherical shims only available in 0.05mm spacing...that means that only 1 size shim will put in the range...a second incremental step in shims will put you outside the acceptable area the other way. Hope that makes sense and an...

The procedure for doing the Cam Timing on the 1200 CamHead engine is very similar to what I do frequently on the 1200/1250 WetHead/ShiftHead. You need to set and lock the flywheel/crankshaft at TDC with a specific pin that fits in an open hole on the RH side of the rear of the engine block. The side...

I would change 5 of the 8 shims. Both of the 0.41mm clearance EXH. valves would be set to a good value of 0.36mm. The other EXH now at 0.38mm would be at 0.33mm, making it nearer to the tighter end of the range. Of course the 0.23mm INT would be at 0.18mm, a reasonable number closer to the middle an...

I would say that if it's outside the specification, it should be adjusted...if it's at the limit of the spec, and you are already replacing some of the shims to replace the one that's at 0.23mm as well. If money was not a factor, I'd put all of the clearances at 1/3 of the range of tolerances. So fo...
