Believe it or not that was taken with my cell phone. Wish I had my SLR with me. Thanks

A picture of my R1200RT LC LE on a very clear evening.... Awesome ride deserved a good pic.

Sounds like they need calibrating. Mine have always been accurate to within 0.1 of a bar which is pretty good. I always have my dash set to Tyre Px when I’m riding, it’s interesting to see how the pressures vary according to conditions and tyre temperatures. The system has “saved” me a couple of ti...

So I put ion the correct amount (checked with a decent gauge) then note what the dashboard says, so I can notice if they have gone down.

Thank you, I thought so as my gauges are pretty good.

I have just got my '15 1200LC and i find that the tire pressure monitors are not accurate. In fact they mark lower than my own TP gauges. I use a digital one and also an Oxford gauge which agree. My gauges will mark 2.5 and 2.9 and I get 2.4 and 2.7 or 2.8 on the bike... Is this normal?

Well, it's true what they say - every day's a school day ! I've been to Sicily twice, including in May this year, and I've just learned that there's a ferry between Sicily and Malta.  I might have been tempted to re-visit Malta if I had known !  :) I must say there is much to like...

I was stationed in Tigne barracks in Sliema many many years ago and my memory is of a fairly small island with no motorways  or indeed any great distance to travel on any kind of road. Has Malta changed, or is this RT going to be shipped to the mainland to stretch it's legs ?  ;D ...

Welcome.
What colour bike is that?
Do you have any more pictures of it?

It's the 2015 Ebony metallic.... In bright sunlight the red in the paint comes out stronger.. Attaching a picture taken by previous owner in
less sunny conditions.

I've posted before but I hadn't received my RT yet. I live in Malta and I just bought a used (but in pristine condition) R1200RT LC LE (2015). First few days riding it and already can't get enough of it. Thank you for having me on the Forum. I intend to learn as much as possible from all of you and ...

Not often this leds are broken, but the switch on the open/close handle often are.  And there is a tiny small connector there that could have disconnected !


Check this before the led it selves ....

Thanks ...will check that first.

Well I did say it was a dumb question :) ) Intriguingly, the light fitting does not appear to be listed in the parts fiche. It looks like you'd have to separate the inner part of the lid from the outer to get at it, not a job for those pressed for time.  I'm guessing it's an LED, not a bul...

Yes the central lock works. i eliminated that already. I'm new to THIS bike not stupid... lolol  :alas:

Can anyone help me with this please? I have a 2015 1200RT  and my topcase interior light is out. Does anyone know how to replace this light. Just got my RT yesterday and totally new to this. maybe somebody with the experience can enlighten me a little. Thanks . Joe
