Re: Survey of RT mileages
Any major issues? Recently replaced fork seals as one was leaking. Replaced clutch at 95,000 miles. Front brake pads once, rear brake pads 3x times. Timing chain tensioner due to oil leak. Fuel pump under warranty due to recall. Coils around 70,000 miles. Other than that pretty much just regular an...

Re: Metzler Roadtec 01 SE tires
I'm on my 6th set of Metzeler Roadtec 01 tires on my 2010. Overall have been great tires, typically get 11,000-13,000 miles out of them before I replace them and probably could have pushed them further if I wanted or didn't have a long trip upcoming. Originally these were the Roadtec 01 HWM but now ...

Re: Cam head left cam tensioner replacement issue
I forget if the spring was longer, but I understood it to be an upgrade from OEM with a stronger spring. https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/camtensioner629.htm "The original left hand tensioner has a very weak spring and has no check valve so it loses hydraulic pressure when you turn t...

Re: Cam head left cam tensioner replacement issue
For my 2010 RT I purchased and installed a replacement from EuroMotoelectrics that was supposed to be an updated cam tensioner.

Re: 2009 R1200RT-P Clutch Replacement
7300 miles and it needs a clutch?? Someone had to be really hard on it or some other failure. I did mine at 95,300 miles. I've heard of others over 100,000 miles and not replacing yet. Not a huge technical job, PIA, time consuming and requires a lot of removal of panels, parts and connections. Be su...

Re: Camhead - Gear Linkage Lubrication
I've lubricated mine regularly since the weld on the shifter mount cracked with 150 miles to get home from a 1000 mile IBA ride. Bike had about 80K on it at the time it happened. It became hard to get back into 1st gear but I made it home. Can't be sure if it was due to lack of lubrication or bindin...

Re: Clutch Replacement - 2009 R1200RT
I did the clutch on my 2010 RT in September 2022. Bike had 95,300 miles on it, now has 99,800 and all good. I bought the kit from Euromotoelectrics out of Denver, CO. Kit included the Pressure Ring, Clutch Plate, Clutch Spring, Pressure Plate, and Bolts. I did buy a slave cylinder as well after I ha...

Re: Bleed nipple at master cylinder
Can't tell you the technical reason for this, but when I replaced a brake line to fit some barbacks, it was the only way to get the air out of the brake line. I tried bleeding at the wheel cylinders multiple times and no go. Found info about using this bleeder nipple and did a typical bleed procedur...

Re: Metzler Roadtech 1
Now on my 4th set of Metzeler Roadtec 01 tires last week. First set - 12,375 miles; 2nd set - 11,387 miles; 3rd set - 11,842 miles. Probably could have gone another 1500-3000 miles on any of these sets but I don't like to push it too far and I usually end up installing a new set early spri...

Re: 2013 RT nav options
Since almost all GPS mounts use a 4 bolt standard AMPS plate to mount, you can use many different options to mount a GPS at the location you desire. I'm using the BMW mount on the NAV 5 with the BMW above dash "bar" mount but I'm using an alternate Tackform mount similar to a RAM that allo...

Re: 2013 RT nav options
I don't think Wonder Wheel integration with the NAV was available until the 2014 model year. The Wonder Wheel primarily controls the radio - channels, tracks, volume, etc. on 2010-2013 models. I could be wrong but I have a 2010 model and that is all it does on mine. I recall when I purchased it I th...
