BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I'm the second owner - no warranty and they're not going to help me out of the goodness of their heart(s)...I've already discussed it with them and they suggested a new ($400CAD) FOB...  I might dismantle it one day and look for a poor solder connection perhaps making a constant circuit (bu...

Regarding battery life expectancy - mine needs to be replace every 2 to 3 months (which seems far too soon).  Obviously battery quality is a factor as well as how often you/I lock unlock luggage etc...  I carry spares in my jacket pocket, under the motorcycle seat, and in the trunk...

Just wanting to ask the group whether there's a history of ezCAN problems.  Basically: 1. I ordered and installed an ezCAN Gen I.  It took a long time for me to realize that the ezCAN wasn't working properly (I installed aux lights 6 months later and the intermittent problem became...

For my 2015 R1200RT with the 49 litre topcase - does anyone know what size would fit?  Dowco website says large - that barely fit my 1996 R1100RS with bags and topcase - definitely won't fit the LC RT.  Does anyone have the XL or the XXL and could comment?  Thanks. PS: not...

I have knee problems, so although relatively short (5'9"),I find the riding position cramped. Years ago I picked up some foot peg extenders for my 1996 R1100RS - they are relatively expensive when purchased new, but affordable~ish when you find them on Fleabay. I also had to changed the clutch ...

Thanks all - I gave Lucas at "The Tankslapper" a call yesterday - he was very, very helpful.  Bottom line is that I'm going to order the "R1200RT Total Protection Kit Extended Coverage", plus the "R1200RT 54-Liter Top Case Protection Kit" in Scotchgard Pro (glo...

Victoria BC Canada.  Snow today (20cm...) - the mbike is safely in the garage (sigh).


Do you know what brand/material he used - are you happy with the results?  Thanks

Has anyone tried protective film on their RT?  I read a post on this forum and "The Tankslapper" was mentioned - https://thetankslapper.biz/ .  I'm tempted, but really don't know which of the three options to pick (obviously a gloss option, so it would be one out of two o...

Does anyone know what the extra CANBUS connection, under the LH fairing, is used for (as shown in the photo)?  I presume it is the auxiliary light connection point (my 2015 doesn't have the extra lights).  Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks

I'm looking for a set for my 2015; I wonder where bluerttim is getting them...thinking perhaps he/she has sourced from China and is repackaging and passing them on.  I would get a set, but shipping to Canada is a bit pricey... Are there any other sources?  Lots of GS plugs, but the...
