BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi guys. Had my 1997 RT1100 mot'd this morning & she passed with a couple of advisories. The main issue is play in the back wheel. Not much but was noticed by the mechanic. From an Internet search It looks like it's wear in the swingarm to FD pivot.  What is involved to fix this ?. Are ...

Well I got a new HES from MotorWorks & she fired up first prod of the starter  ^-^


Thanks for your help


Mick

I believe that if an Injector is removed, the HES can be checked to see if it is sending a signal to the Injection System Got the plastics off & pulled the injectors. There's no  fuel passing through them when the bike is turning over. It's priming ok. Had a look at the wiring & th...

Its garaged. However the last time it was out was in a downpour. Not sure at all if that'd have any bearing ?.

Thanks


Mick

Yes I replaced the HES with one from Motorworks ( although it was a used one ) & all has been fine so far . I'll check the coil & wiring tomorrow. Are there any electrical connectors in particular I should look at first ?.

Hi guys, Just been out to start  the RT. It turned over but won't fire. Last used about a month ago. Battery is good, plenty of fuel in. Took a plug out & turned it over with it touching the cylinder head & can't see a spark. Any ideas what checks do I need to make ? 1996 1150. Many...

Not worries mate.....although interesting as I've got a Givi monokey top box winging its way to me as we speak ha.!.
I was also about to buy a matching plate. Will the said plate not fit this rack then ?? 


Thanks


Mick

Front left hand side. Are they for heated grips ?.


Many thanks

+1 that looks like two different bikes. I take my hat off to you. Could you explain what exactly vapour blasting is ? I've seen sand blasting but not vapour blasting. Vapour blasting or wetblasting as it's also known uses water ,compressed air & fine media to form a slurry that cleans alloy &am...

Well after much work she's about ready. I haven't gone to the extremes of a full rebuild but got the bike to an acceptable standard for this year. Fresh fuel Replacement hall sensor & pulley cover New battery Fixed the seat lock mechanism Wheels removed, vapour blasted & lacquered Calipers U...

Thanks Spencer


Yeah I want something heavy duty so was going to go for the Monokey system. Seems I'll have to change this plate that's fitted 


Mike

Thanks David


Yes it looks like a mono lock plate. Looks like I'll just have to replace the whole thing.

guys I'm all new to hard luggage & haven't  got any idea regarding top boxes & plates. This is the  rack I inherited with the RT I bought last month. If I buy say, a Givi topbox with matching plate, will it definitely attach to this existing one or will this have to be chan...

Hi guys


Where is it located on the bike  ??? 


Thanks
