Re: Seat

I need an opinion on a seat upgrade please. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It would depend on what your goals are among other data points. I went with a Sargent low seat as I have a very short inseam. I spoke with RDL and they were clear that their seats could not accommodate my 29" inseam...

Never, but I've only put 10,000 miles on my '18 RT.

Re: Top case, old or new model?

I have the older model top box. Had it painted to match my Mars Red bike. It's just fine, fits 2 full face Arai helmets, one XL and one XS and as mentioned, easy on and off. No brake light on it but I added a set of Hyperlights (stop, turn and running) to my bike for far less than cost of the extra ...

Re: Goodbye Honda and hello BMW

Nicely done. I took a slightly more round about route to my RT. Went from VFR 800 to a GL1800 and then to the RT. Enjoy your ride and welcome to the group.

Re: Headlight bulb replacement on 2015 RT

Are the bulbs the same in a 2015 as for a 2018? If so which Cyclops LED bulbs did you use? I'd like to upgrade my 2018. TIA

Used to do all my own maintenance but my dealership of choice (Wagner Motorsports in Worcester MA) is excellent so I'm also prone to having them take care ...

Service icon showing up at 9600 miles

Topic title says it. My '18 R1200RTW has started showing the service icon on start up with only 9600 miles on it. Last oil change was performed at 6000 miles and service icon reset with my GS911. Can't figure out why I'm seeing the icon as the next scheduled service isn't till 12000 miles. Thoughts?...
