BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I've got the BMW Airflow jacket and my wife has the Knox Zephyr. They are both good and appear to offer good protection but I think the BMW jacket is better but both worth a look, Mesh jackets are great, they let a lot of air through even with a barn door fairing like on the RTs so really stop you o...

I've got two Norbar click ones, they have versions for all different ranges so bound to have one to cover what you need. https://www.norbar.com/products/view/nsubcategory/categoryname/torque-wrenches/category_multid/1 I've used ones with meters rather than click and don't like them - you have to be ...

If you paid by credit card, which I always do, and the premium was over £100 you can claim any losses from the card issuer.

They "can" go slightly yellow with age so you can then see them more easily but they are OK to remove and replace. Also on my Lotus I picked up some marks on areas that would have got warm from the engine that I could not get off although when I had it detailed they did come off. It can al...

Well according to my profile over there <<< what do you think?

Mine charges fine through rear socket, BMW charger

I couple of guys in my old car club used them but were not impressed

I've voted for the BMW because it is on the bike. The two optimates are currently not in use and the Accumate is on my car

David. wrote: Both added to the poll, unfortunately, you can only vote for one.

Problem for me, I've have BMW, Optimate 4, Optimate 3 and Accumate

And it includes the DIN adapter&nbsp;

I have found that it can be easier to fit if you remove the back protector from the jacket and pack that separately

Its that time of year a bit cold and guess what battery does not want to play , not being up with modern technology can you use any battery charger on your motorcycle ? , also can i charge it in place on my 2019 RTLE ? or because of all the bells and electrickery these days does it have to be remov...
