BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I'm curious Arty... Is the chap in question called Pete - and is the bike on of those brown ones that BMW claim are black (ebony)? If it is, it may well be the very bike that persuaded me away from my Multistrada and on to the RT.  And (again, if it is Pete) they are the best looked-after ...

Its obviously not a 2015 bike.  The recall and there has been only one, was for bikes built up to 6 June 2014.  Evan so my suggestion is still valid. :zombie: wow, has it been a year already....? It only seems like a few months (ie. not 12 though). But it must have been the 2014 m...

Still think it just needs plugging in.  Mileage says it should have been done 400 miles before you rode it assuming it had its initial service at 600 miles. Thanks 19,000 miles is a lot; and it would have been more had it not been for the recall early on. The bikes are hired out, and the o...

(I did pull out the cord...

Ah, got it. I know what it was... I forgot to undo the chain on the ground anchor and was dragging a paving slab behind me.    :enjoying: Seriously, from the 52 views already (in less than a day; wow, busy forum) and a few humorous but (so far) not-so informative replies  ...

Hi      :kacsint2: New here - new to RT's, actually. Rode a friend's 2015 1200RT at the weekend; did a round trip of about 130 miles. (Although the bike is a new model, it has already done nearly 19,000 miles; though very few of these were by my friend - he hires bikes out...
