BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Good grief Pre Loading is making my head hurt thinking about it, it must take people for ever to shift gears that pre load first, the bike knows you are going to shift as soon as you start to shift up or down by that little tiny itty bitty sensor space on the gear shift lever, its like a slack space...

The stock seat on my "16" works very well, I purchased and use the low option seat now and it does not heat up as well as the stock seat

See pics is this normal to have color already on the right side and nothing on the left side exhaust pipes, sorry about the left side pic is a little dark, I can post another in better daylight tomorrow

Ahh I understand now, thank you all for sharing your wisdom

My dealer service TECH manager said to wipe it clean and if it continues they will replace the water pump under warranty.......Why the heck is there a hole in the side of the engine case makes no sense to me.

yes I road it hard and long when I came home on Friday, 225 miles and only 1 stop for a bite to eat then back on it 80+ mph the whole way 

Thank you I just sent the pic to my dealer salesman to see if he can get it over to the service dept.

no just got back from a 600 mile ride on Friday and noticed today when cleaning off the bugs

Yes bought new in October
