BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Update: BMW have declined to replace the silencer, as the bike is not under warranty anymore. The do have, though, agreed to give me a 50% discount on a new replacement. As things are, I cannot find a decent welder in my immediate area and a new Akra is going to set me back €1000 so I"m biting ...

Nice job. I agree with your comment about poor customer service from Akrapovič. Problem is that they sort of monopolise the exhaust market to a certain degree so they basically don't give a sh**.

I have a beowolf that I fitted (now removed) although I'm not sure if they will be available in your country! 20220512_204000.jpg Hi there, can looks neat. Searched their website, though, and they don't list any products for the 1250RT (2019 onwards) not sure if your can would fit my collectors. I ...

Hi guys, had a speck of trouble with my Akrapovič slip on and am looking around in the web to see if I can find anything different to the Slovenian make.

Have seen some neat Arrow exhausts from Burridge but it's not for a R1250RT. Anybody else has an aftermarket slip on?

Exhaust looks neat but I've been looking at the Arrow website and they don't do any slip ons for the R1250 RT 2019.

A good specialist welder will be able to sour that out. Have you checked the rest of the system for looseness. Cracks like that are caused by vibration. Update: BMW don't wanna know either. They say the bike is not under warranty any more. Some guy at BMW is trying to get me some sort of a courtesy...

Hi, I had exactly the same problem when I purchased my RT in 2109. Dealer changed both front callipers and haven't had a problem since.

Well, Akrapovič doesn't wanna know anything about this. They say that the sip on came as OE equipment and so it's BMW who should sort it out.
I've now gone to the dealers who have made a claim at BMW motorrad, Spain. Lets see how this goes, but I'm not very hopeful.

Well, the bike warranty ended in June '22 (3yr warranty) I've not gone to the dealers, yet, but I probably know the answer they'll give me beforehand. Worth a try, though. I've got in contact with Akrapovic and they asked me to send them some images, which I did yesterday. Waiting for a reply, now. ...

Hi guys, whilst cleaning my 2019 RT1250 I noticed a crack on the weld between the silencer and the collector on the HP Akrapovic slip on. Anybody had this issue as well? Bike is now out of warranty. Any news or ideas would be great. Cheers!

Managed to change the bulb. It's a B***H of a job and it took 1hr 20min to complete. Lets hope the new bulb lasts a few years.

I think the 2013RT is different to the 2019 model. If my blown headlight bulb would have been one of the two side one's it would have been easier to change as all I need to do is remove the speaker and they are right behind it. The problem is that the blown bulb is the centre one and there is nothin...

Hi All, Got a warning light on my (2019) RT1250 dash panel yesterday, which turned out to be the front headlight bulb that had gone to heaven. Is it just me or do I have to get in touch with a midget in order to change the bulb. I have had a look at the access to the bulb cover and OMG there is no r...

Same here, the solution is simply to raise the armrest. Happy riding .

I were you, I'd take it to the Stealers. Sometimes, not always, they manage to sort out problems that other garages cannot.
