Hepco and Becker. I like the quick release feature.

Need to add the new Dunlop Roadsmart IV to the poll as I've moved on from the III. Such a great tire.

Looking forward to trying out the newly announced Roadsmart 4's.

This is just my personal experience, not a scientific fact!, but in the past when I have experienced a few blown bulbs, the battery has been on its last legs. I conjecture that the battery acts as a 'reservoir' or capacitor for ultra-brief voltage peaks and troughs. As a battery deteriorates, I thi...

That makes three burned out bulbs in 49k miles. And once again it happened in the middle of a trip. Now I get the pleasure of seeing the lit up yellow warning triangle and hieroglyph on the dash for the duration.

2016RT, steering damper replaced under original warranty at 30k miles.

Not sure if Akra offers headers for the RT. I purchased slip-on thru my BMW dealer at time of purchase. On full song it makes cool WWII twin engine bomber noises.

Keep it in a box in the attic after installing an Akrapovic.  ;D

I've been very satisfied with the Hepco Becker Street Tourer M for my '16 RT. The magnetic mount holds steadfast but easily detaches come refueling time. It is also expandable.

Hi Maybe a "Master Reset" will do the trick? https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=5pkqQBOE9L4qzpvROpQ1R8&searchType=noProduct Thanks for this top tip. For whatever reason the unit has been functioning properly as of late and recognizing when a new route is loaded and ready for import...

Thanks for the suggestion to go back to a previous version. I didn't consider this to be an option as I've never heard it being offered. Has anyone here ever requested this and if so can tell me how was it handled.

I talked with Garmin support and they hadn't had anyone else report this problem. Today I tried out their suggestion of sending Basecamp tracks to the device and that worked pretty well though restarting the route midway thru my trip gave a direct route versus following the tract. I will continue to...

The auto import feature no longer prompts me for new routes. When I try to manually import a route a "No routes found" message is displayed. The GPX files are properly placed in the GPX device folder but the app doesn't recognize them.

Thanks for confirming the update is suppose to work. My workaround is to send a track to the Nav6 (using Basecamp) then convert the track to a trip. Frustrating.
