BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I have a 2007 RT things I like: - comfort - wind/rain protection - cruise control - brilliant for touring things i do NOT like: - clunk into 1st gear - the shit indicator switches arrangement - fuel strips constantly failing - recessed oil filter, hard to remove - headlight bulbs impossible to reach

2007 R1200RT one of my headlight bulbs blew recently and I changed it. since then I have noticed that when on "dip" the new bulb is pointing in a slightly different direction to the other, this gives the impression that one side is brighter than the other when I look at the headlight the n...

200 miles?

you can easily get 300 miles between fill-ups on an RT

After three strip replacements on my 2007 RT I have given up trying to fix the issue. It's only annoying when I don't fill the tank up to the top.
