BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi. Had noticed the lid on my top case never seemed to close properly, driving my ocd mad lol. Checking to day I noticed one part of the locking mechanism was not working. So, went to remove the inner section on the case but for the life of me I cannot work out how to get it out. Have removed all th...

Hi. Only thing would double check is that it is cut to suit your bike. I bought one before, although not of this seller, and it was nothing more than what looked like an off cut from some mat. Dog got it in the end

Thanks Sakm. Had them built before noticing your reply, but set the air screw as you suggested.

My reasoning being I don't think the ABS can be removed without also removing the servos. The noise i am getting sounds live the servo 'running...

Hi. Sorry to be a newbie starting with a question. Recently bought a 2005 R1200RT after having a break away from bikes for a couple of years. I believe the ABS has been bypassed, I know there is paperwork for it in the folder I got with the bike. Problem started yesterday. Short run out and noticed ...
