BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Yep, you're right David. I've got to push it out. Thanks so much!

Thanks David.

The second picture answered my second question. I've read through the topic on the lt forum, but didn't found how to disassemble the connector to be able plug in the wires from top case.
Atm my connector looks like this.

Hi, I've got two questions about the cylindrical connector for the big RT/LT('14-'18) top case:
1. How do I open up the male part of the 10 pin connector? http://www.autotestaid.com/productshow.asp?id=1195
2. Which wire form the top case is going to which pin number?

I'd like to give an update of how my situation ended (well is almost done). I have taken my case to their (insurer) claims department and it was reviewed the very same day. It was given to one of their managers and I was offered £11,200 supplemented with 6 examples from different BMW dealers. I was ...

Nope, I've got excess of £400

@ David. What you see depends on where you stand. This bike is a SE and mine was LE. There's a bike from this dealer on my comparison (Number 8.). As to depreciation - this does never work. Anyone can give completely different values after n time. I doubt that the insurance company would bother/und...

Yes. I've put £12k (cover started in May) and that's what I got on paper.

@ David. Thanks for that David. I was looking also on here http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/motorcycles/bike-prices/BMW/ But in my opinion the problems with looking at websites like that are that my mileage was much higher and I had more extras than the aggregate averave value. I don't like cold callers ...

It's because none of the examples have all the extras and if I'd want them to be retrofitted I would probably pay (with labour) close to new add-on alone.

This is why dealers try to sell you GAP insurance when you buy a bike. The Insurers will pay out far less than the replacement value BUT will sell you insurance to cover the gap. Nice little earner that. >:( This won't change anythin in my case, because my lease is less then their valuation. Howeve...

(...)The only suggestion I can make with regards value is to try to work out a dealer to private sale ratio and apply that to your dealer values. I have always thought that buying from dealers would mean a price of £500 - £1000 more than private. This covers all their costs, servicing, valeting, wa...

Hi all, Few weeks back I've crashed going to my dealer for the 24k service. Was riding on minor road (lower than B road) and slid on black ice. Luckilly nothing happened to me, but the bike was deemed as total loss by the insurer. The bike is damaged on both sides. At the dealer they valued parts al...

Just been told by the dealer that the tyre pressure sensor is a consumable good (has a baterry inside) and it's not covered under the warranty. I'll have a word with the service manager there and see if he'll be honest enough to say that it could get damaged when taking off / fitting tyres as one of...

My dealer has raised a claim with BMW for corrosion. Waiting for them to come back to me.
All the other issues that I have will be dealt with when they'll get the parts.
The exhaust flap was changed (ie got new shiny down pipes)
