BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Cheer up! They will change it under warranty and you have a very good chance that your bike will serve you without any more trouble.  Batteries do that sometimes. I had a 2008 GS that just done the same to me at less then 1000 miles in the ODO, then I had it for an other 50000 without any i...

It is funny, I cut the raised sections out in the second round too.

Android thinks: this a place for commercials

Beyond adding extra light a simple graphic can increase the possibility to be seen. A hated the (mostly) black bulk of the bike back side too...

Thanks for the answers. Yes it is FAT32 formatted.  Otherwise it would not even recognize the stick, I guess. No matter what size USB stick is used -  tried 4GB - 8GB - 16GB, with same files - same result. What matters though it seems, that MP3 files, with 320kbps - 44KHz play back...

Great Help!
Thanks DaygloDavid seems just what I needed. I could not find these threads. Appreciate.

What commercials you guys (Android and RTman10) are talking about? I asked for advice and my phone added that line I have no idea why. Than Rtman10 chimes in with his remark, so I feel like I did (or intended to do) something wrong.

Well, I did not, thanks.

Still waiting if someone who can help me.

What kind of tankbag can you install on a 2015 RTW without interfering with the handlebars (no riser)? 
I am looking for something with map holder and try to avoid the OEM for $300+

You can make it more difficult for the occasional thievs. Remove the windshield and the cover. The pushbutton held in place by a small hook on the side of the button. Remove that piece, and you will have a mobil button that you can place anywhere, like one of the glovebox. Alternatively you can male...

If I am not mistaken, on the water cooled models, there is a connector under the left front cover for the factory aux light, but how to switch it without the switch itself- is unclear.

Just to make certain: You left the battery connected to the bike - as regularly is-  and plugged the Battery Tender into the bike? (directly through your new harness) I am asking because I used to do that to my old GS, but I read somewhere in the RT manual that it is an absolute no-no (or w...

I am sorry. They are all mp3 formatted musics. In one level of directories. i.e. root-> album ->mp3 files

I have a 2015 RT with the factory Alpine audio fitted. When I attach an USB stick (which I have for years and it works properly in an array of devices) most of the directories can not be accessed. All I have is a " No Data" display and no sound. Is it the kbps resolution of the file or, or...
