BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi You can use the front or rear brake lever to apply and disengage this but you need to pull the brake lever hard to the bars or press hard on the rear. You feel a click and the Hill start brake assist is applied same again to manually disengage the bike must be running with the side stand up. Cheers

Hi I managed to fit them to a new key but only used 4 of the leaves. However was not totally happy so dropped in on a local dealer and they gave me some, so somewhere I do have quite a number of them spare I can try and find them and post you a few. Word of warning make sure you are 100% sure you ha...

I had my slim lids and top box painted at a Manchester body shop for £300

Hi

The screen changed with the change in the lights goes from 3 holes each side to 2 holes don't think the earlier short screen will fit the later bikes

Hi, Mine came with it I does work but I don't use it often. I find CC on any bike has you alongside other vehicles in their bind spot far too long.

Hi They way it should be calculated is the price then add the duty then the VAT on the accumulated figure. Check the duty rate they charged, couriers companies often get it wrong. Goods coming from the EU that are manufactured in the EU are duty free. ( If they originated outside the EU first then t...

Mine does the same and today if froze half way through a ride. Map on the TFT froze the only thing that changed wat my ETA at destination. Eventually it disconnected Thankfully I have a TomTom on the bike too. When I had completed the ride checked the phone and it said to restart the app and the TFT...

I have a 1250RT with TFT and I still use my TomTom 550. The TFT has got better but it can still drop out unexpectedly sometimes it will give directions and no map other times nothing at all. My TT is attached above the TFT with a ram mount stuck to the top of the screen with 3M VHB tape Been there f...

You could try making the 3 U supports attaching them to the heat shield then use jubilee clips to secure it all to the pipes.

AS Capt Sisko Says

Take it back to the dealer and get BMW to replace under warranty.

Once its sorted get one of the protectors for the front of the engine I bought on of Temu for not a great deal of money and its great.

Hi

They were not fitted as standard by BMW but many dealers did offer it, not 100% sure but I think when fitted they are at the rear under the rack.
I have a vodafone tracker on my bike £2.00 PCM not brilliant but works OK for a basic locator

Yep guess it was a software gremlin

I had the same message come up a couple of weeks ago ( 2023RT) but next time I started it it was fine and been OK since.

Not seen a proper one for the 1250. I have a Marks Motorcycle Parts one for the earlier model most things I have found are pretty much the same. https://www.marksmotorcycleparts.co.uk/product-page/copy-of-service-manual-for-bmw-r1200rt-gs-gsa Its GBP22.00 Not sure if Haynes still do one but to be ho...

I use a Abba Skylift. Find for most jobs it give me easy access to the bike and I can change the attitude Front Wheel up back wheel up of level.

Easy to remove the wheels etc and get at the underside
