BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

My highest recommendation for Warm n Safe gear. Invented for motorcyclists by experienced motorcyclists. Many have tried to copy them. I know most of you are from the UK but if there's any way you can reasonably purchase from them, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for taking on such a difficult task and doing it so well and with patience!

I have the Nav VI on my 2019 R1250 and have had no issues with it at all although I've seen many threads posting about problems with it. As you've noted they're very expensive here so if I were in your position, I would do as others have suggested and go with the Zumo XT.

Thanks for everything you've done. Best wishes for all your future endeavours.

I have about 7500 kms on mine and have noticed more black brake dust than I ever experienced on my previous ride, a 2012 R1200GS with Brembos on the front. I haven't noticed any fluid leakage.

There is no "Rain" in the Dynamic ESA menu as far as I know. I think it is a Ride Mode only and there are three choices: Rain, Road and Dynamic.
