BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just had a thought...the R1200RT sends Nav 6 instructions through the loudspeakers when in non bluetooth mode so obviously the bike and nav 6 are connecting somewhere in the bike. So I wonder if they are connected in bluetooth mode also? This would mean I may not have to pair helmet to Nav 6. I wond...

I have finally taken the plunge and bought a BMW com U1 headset so I can 'retire' my Autocom SPA. I am having a little difficulty in finding the correct pairing order. It has four channels: Phone. Phone 2, GPS and Media. I am not 100% sure how I should pair it. Technology is not my strong point so p...

Hello Rossyuk39. Thanks for your input. I have recently changed my phone. (I got shot of the Huawei and replaced it with a Motorola) and I have replaced my Nav V with Nav VI. I haven't yet had the chance to pair them all up yet but fingers crossed!

Hello Guys. I have organised a tour for myself and some of my buddies that I have toured with for the past 2 years. Unfortunately after booking the hotels it transpires that two chaps can't make it this year. This leaves a twin bedded room available if any one wants to take their place. Brief detail...

Bike had just over 35600 miles on clock. Dealer serviced from new. The splines had worn off the driveshaft and also damaged the final drive so that was replaced too. Thank goodness for the BMW warranty!

Last Saturday I was unfortunate enough to suffer a breakdown, or to be more precise my bike did! (2016 RT.) I have the extended warranty and after a couple of phone calls and texts my bike was swiftly recovered and I was put in a taxi to take me home. Excellent service from BMW warranty and breakdow...

I'm pretty certain it just pulls off. It is held on by three 'dog's dicks' that slot into rubber mounts/grommets.  Be careful when refitting particularly the top one which can, if you're not careful, break the lug on the painted panel. Don't ask me how I know!

Thanks Guys.

Hi all, my exhaust headers on my 2016 RT are starting to show their age with rust spots that will not polish out. I am considering replacing them with some stainless steel ones made by Black Widow. Has anybody done this and if so how do they measure up for quality , keeping them clean etc. Also I wo...

I too had an oily smell on my old 2005 RT which I finally traced to a worn/ill fitting O ring on the oil filler cap. New O ring fitted-no more smell!

I wonder if anyone can help with this problem I have with the speed alerts and speed camera proximity warning sounds from the BMW Navigator V. When I used to creep over the speed limit the Nav V would sound a warning and at the same time lower the music from the factory fitted radio by approx 50%. I...

After further investigation then pairing a different phone to the Nav V it would appear that my new phone (Huawei Y6 2019) is programmed to auto answer when in bluetooth mode more or less immediately as a call comes in. I don't hear the phone ring through my helmet speakers but the Nav V screen show...

Happy to report that thanks to your help some progress has been made. I paired Autocom to Nav V then phone to Nav V and it is now functioning apart from one glitch: When a call comes in it auto answers then cuts off more or less immediately. I don't know if this is Nav V fault or Phone fault. Any id...

Just tried to pair my phone to nav v-it connected then disconnected, then reconnected then disconnected,then reconnected and so on! Technology can be so frustrating.

Thanks Rambler358. I had done that previously but if the phone rang I didn't know who it was. I believe with Smarlink the  caller's number appears on the Nav V screen and you have the option to accept or decline
