Re: Garage Floor Tiles
I've got these down in my garage workshop: https://www.costco.co.uk/search?searchOption=uk-search-all&text=garage%20floor&q=garage%20floor:relevance:brand:Klikflor They were easy to fit and are very hard-wearing. They've been down about 6 years and show no sign of wear. I do have a rubber-ba...

Re: Alternative to leather trousers ?
Where in the UK are you located?
I have some made-to-measure leather trousers from Scott Leathers in Barnard Castle. Very good quality and not too expensive (although I've had them a few years now).

Re: Electronic screen missing bolt on R1250RT
They may be a BMW-only part.
From memory, I think I obtained a used one from Motorworks. Check part fitment carefully - I think the upper and lower pins are a slightly different length and diameter.
I also bought some 'beefier' E clips. The original BMW ones are a bit thin and flimsy.

Re: Key Blanks
How the hell do they then jump to £200+ for a coded key :roll: https://i.postimg.cc/J0c6grst/20240627-094853.jpg Presumably the relatively high price for the 'fob' key is due to the electronic trickery contained within, versus the simple 'blade with a rubber head' of the non-coded 'dumb' key. The t...

Re: Key Blanks
I've bought non-BMW blank keys from eBay in the past and tried to get them cut at Timpsons and a couple of local locksmiths. My experiences: a) The eBay blanks are not of the same quality as BMW keys. The blade material is not as hard. I have no experience of the Motorworks blanks. b) High street lo...

Re: 2010-2013 RT
Check also that the rear disc carrier has been replaced (usually done under warranty). Early models were alloy, which cracked through the bolt holes.. The updated part is steel. Handlebar switchgear was problematic on some models. I had both sides replaced on my 2011 bike. But again, most should hav...

Re: What don't you like
I'm pretty happy with mine, but to make it even better, I'd like to see: 1 - A better standard of finish and more robust paint finishes. Especially on the centre stand etc. 2 - Stainless bolts everywhere . Surely wouldn't add much ex-factory cost to an already expensive bike. 3 - A full-length engin...

Re: Adaptive cruise control
My current bike (2023 model) has ACC. I bought the bike as ex-demo, so I had no influence over the specification. I've had 'ordinary' cruise control on several previous bikes, but this is my first with ACC. It works well, keeping a safe distance and accelerating/decelerating smoothly. I like it, but...
