BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I was shocked! I'm no Mick Doohan. But would the heavyweight ones make a difference.....?

Thanks guys. Thats great.

Hi all. Does anyone know of a business or a person in the west midlands area of England that can work on, supply and fit anything to do with Denali lights please?
Many thanks in advance.

I had a pair of Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE's. Good tyres, but only lasted me approx 4500 miles.

Hi all.
After reading the last post I decided to give my seat one more chance.
Low and behold it works!
So thank you all for your advice.

My new to me second hand RT came with continental road attack 3 I think they're called?
Anyone had experience with them?
I'm not sure if I like them. Now we're into the wet dark end of the year I wish I had Michelin's excellent PR4s on.
 

They stopped working on my 2012 after about six years. I got some custom seats and they still would not heat so the failure is not at the seat level. Then the left grip stopped working. Leaving in California with a short commute, I managed to survive these dark times :) Must be nice! We're just sta...

Hi all. I have a 2016 R1200 and neither heated seats work.
It appears on my dash lights that it is on, but they just don't get warm.
My heated grips work just fine, but not the seats.
Any and all ideas are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks very much.

Hi all.
I am about to take delivery of a 2016 MY R1200RT. From the pictures of it, (I have not seen it in  the flesh) it looks like it has nav preparation.
If it has, I plan to buy a Nav 6 for it. My question is, will it fit, or is the bike too old?
Many thanks in advance.

It depends on what you mean by money pit? If you mean farkles, there's lots of them available. If you mean maintenance/break downs, my '16 has been very reliable. I do my own maintenance so it's basically oil, filters, spark plugs, tires, etc. Knock on wood, I haven't had any mechanical issues exce...

You know I took the so called plunge also to a certain point.  Been riding airheads for sometime.  Bought a 15 1200rt put a couple thousand miles on it around home here.  Always felt good..took a 5 state ride 1800 miles felt goood the whole trip.  Not surprised b...

Hi everybody! I have taken the plunge and purchased a 2016 RT on the strength of how much I have loved the 2011 model I currently own. Have I chosen wisely, or should I have stuck to the old one? I would love to know your thoughts, and any advice, tips, tricks, and pitfalls of ownership. Many thanks...

Thanks for that, never heard of them. Saved to my favorite list!
