Re: Coolant Level

Just checked yesterday.  I can't see the level even with a flashlight.  Shaking the bike doesn't help.  Spent 15 minutes taking the fairing off  (slowly so I don't break the stupid tab) and 5 seconds to check the coolant level.  It was at the max line.&am...

Re: New 2018 RT what would you like to see ??

A better solution for the plastic tabs on the front panels which frequently snap off, and a replacement for the rubber grommet which holds the side panel in place-sometimes!  Both are cheap inferior solutions which should have never been considered in the first place.  C'mon BMW!

I installed the bar ends from hvmp as well.  http://www.hvmp.com/  I'm very happy with them.

Re: R1200RT touch up paint

Colorite does not carry ebony metallic.  Holt BMW in Ohio sent me a perfect match.  I found them on the MOA forum. Cost me $35 for a small amount, but it was worth it.  Holt BMW.

Re: Unknown 2 inch piece of Rubber??

I'm in Westchester county, just north of New York City.  We got 13 inches yesterday and expect another 6-8 tomorrow.  I don't mind riding in single digit weather, the heated gear keeps me just fine.  But I draw the line in wet snow.

Re: Unknown 2 inch piece of Rubber??

Thanks for all responses and suggestions.  I'm going to assume its a protective leftover that should've been removed by the dealer.  Lot's of snow where I am, as soon as it clears I will take the bike out for a test spin and see how it goes.

Re: Unknown 2 inch piece of Rubber??

Here are two other photos from the other angles, but it's a pretty uniform rectangle and may be hard to see a difference.  One end is slightly torn but the piece itself is very clean, leading me to believe it's not road debris.  I initially thought it was left over from dealer prep...

Unknown 2 inch piece of Rubber??

Just installed Clearwater Ericas on my 2016 RT  and while I had the bike on the lift a 2" x 3/8" piece of rubber fell out from under the front fairing.  I have no idea where this goes.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Clearwater Erica lights on a 2015 R1200RT

Newbie here-I am in the process of installing the Ericas w/mirror brackets on my 2016 r1200rt and I'm stumped on how to remove the air intake duct to access the body bolts.  I can see one tab locking the bottom of the duct in, but something else (another tab) is still holding the duct in pl...

Re: Abba Skylift - USA

Greetings-I am considering this lift for my 2016 rt.  This might be a silly question, but I'm wondering where the strap attaches, as the rt does not have the "bobbin" attached to the swing arm depicted in the instructional videos.  Thanks

Re: Hex EzCan Install

It appears the EZ-can is now available for the full 1200 series, so yes it is available for the RT-LC, which is the bike I have.

Re: Hex EzCan Install

Thanks for the responses.  I just spoke with Matt, the "gear head"  at Twisted Throttle.  Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.  Turns out that the EZ-Can can be plugged in anywhere in-line to the Can-bus, it does not have to go into the RDC.&nbs...
