BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

For moving your bike around the garage, its hard to do better than these things: https://www.dynamotousa.com/ . My garage is a "little" cramped and I need all the extra space I can get.  This allows me to both turn the bike around very easily but more usefully positioning it exac...

MEM62, I’m in a similar position to you re two bikes, ie my RT and the wife who has a Burgman 650 Exec, and which we take both of them on our annual Euro tours. Yes, I originally thought the RT would be the ideal two-up tourer, until my wife took her test and then got the biking bug! All credit to h...

Any tips in getting these off the screen without damaging / marking the screen please, not trying to resell, just want them off, [/font][/size]does the glue used in these vignettes actually mark the screen? trying to avoid little opaque squares where the vignettes have been (new bike so being a bit...

Czech Republic even better, with cars and lorries required to buy a vignette, but motorcycles are exempt!

That is one of the primary reasons the BMF exists ......and MAG, admittedly only been in existence since1973, but equally important that these two organisations collaborate and campaign for riders’ rights. As with other such things in life, if you feel strongly about these issues, join the membersh...

Couldn’t agree more in that Route planning with Garmin Basecamp is a right royal PITA!! I spend far too long planning two week Euro excursions with this clumsy software on my Mac desktop. Likewise I’m uploading the route to my Nav 5 unit, which is the easy bit!😂 All I can say is persevere with the B...

Ooh! Very fetching accessorising!!

Welcome to the world of selfish, greedy insurance companies, who show absolutely no reward for loyalty to existing customers . New customer? Certainly sir.......

I will check into that, thanks. This is what I believe is being referred to, available from Halfords here in the U.K. I also bought a pair for my RT panniers last year, and positioned them along the bottom of the side facing part of the pannier. Hopefully, should the bike fall over, they will preve...

Chromed headers aren't magnetic either!  ;) There's any number of proprietary cleaners to get rid of blu(e)ing - Autosol do one, I use one called Peek. Pete However....... [size=18px]Stainless steels are iron-based alloys primarily known for their generally excellent corrosion resistance, ...

Yes it can be done because mine came off after a filtering misjudgement.  :-X Clipped on from memory. Likewise, I’ve had cause to clip the LH mirror rear fairing back on after knocking it against a tall plastic road works bollard overseas last year. Yes, it just clipped straight back on, h...

Agreed, as BoB21 said above! Yes, it is a PITA to see ordinarily!

I've retreated to a Stebel magnum (no compressor) straight through the Canbus.  Had the same fitted to my K1300GT and it worked okay and is pretty loud.  The Stebel Nautilus was rubbing against the brake and ABS lines especially on left turns. Yes, I also fitted a Stebel Magnum on...

I didn't know that there was a favourite short cut button. Time to go back and read the owners manual.

Ah, so I’m not the only tech Luddite on here then!! Phew.....!

Yes, you’re right there. Give that front brake lever a firm squeeze to apply (ooh missus)!
