BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I have a 2014 bmw 1200rt that doesn't have any spark. The bike tuns over with no problem, its getting good gas. Its in nutral and the side stand is up. I changed out a basic module, it ran before then. I read somwhere that those are coded and the bike may not run if the VIN numbers not match? any bo...

Well i replaced the vloltage regulator, and still the horn is still constanly going off. not sure what to do next. this is all happening with the key off. i disconected the ecu as well and still it happens. i can see a spark when i try to connect the negative terminal. seems to be short in somthing ...

I compared the readings with an ohm meter from a good one, the only way I know how to check it without a good votage regulator. They ohmed out the same, that is to say I donesn't seem have any open windings. If that means anything at all.. Hope so!! There wont be any engine removal on this guy.

I have a 2014 R1200RT that I had my son install a new battery on. He put the battery in backwards. I heard the horn on it blowing for just a few seconds which got my attention. He didn't have it connected for long, so I then put the battery in corectly but the hron was still going off. The dash ligh...

Thanks guys, I'll give it a hail Hail marry for the one David posted.. Can't believe they made this so epic!! LOL

I have a 2016 R1200RT that I need bleed the clutch fluid on. I can't find any good sources on just how to get to the bleeder valve. Its behind the starter as it looks. Does the starter need to come out (if that's even possible) ? does anyone have any information/instruction ? service manuals seem pr...

OK, I used the LAST 7 of the VIN and it only showed the 11 00 8 389 101 engine with only the K52 compatibility as a silver engine.. no black. The K54 shows same part number only 100 at the end, only black. Same thing you found. Looking at the parts list and engine pics, it looks exactly the same wit...

Now that's helpful!! i didn't know that, assuming that, I'll check it tonight. Assuming the color doesn't exclude it from being a compatible part lol!!
Thanks David!!

Thanks for looking into this for me good sir. I have contacted a number of dealers and even BMW motorrad, to no avail. Everyone is saying the same thing.. Pretty sure it will, but ... I bmw is a smart company that does not build specific engines for every model they bring on the market. But there co...

I have a 2016 R1200RT (K52) with a terminally dead engine. There is an engine that is available but its a R1200RS K54. Does anyone know if it would fit my (K52) bike ?

Thanks for the input!! Great engines.. But so far I can't get them to send any of them across the pond!! UUuuuugggg!!!

Yes, that is correct.. its basically the right half of the engine which makes going that way a really, REALLY BIG JOB. :o So, going the hole engine replacement seems to be the only way that makes any sense here. Anyway location is Lompoc California. These engines seem to be very rare, so if one pops...

My 2014 R1200 RT snapped a right side exhaust valve spring and pretty much did the engine in. I can be repaired so in leu of engine.. right side cylinder, piston, connecting rod would work.

I have a 2014 wet head 1200RT K52. My question is with the Valves and the valve stem shims. Are the intake shims a different size the the exhaust shims? I can't seem to find anything on the shims in any of the manuals or factory manual.

That's the answer!!    Thanks so much guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
