BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

My dealer had a 7 week wait for first service. I did my own oil/filter and rear spline lube when it was due and had them sign off the rest of the run in check when they were able to. They charged $325 for the balance of the work which took about 20 minutes. I watched my bike go in and out. I'll just...

I guess the case is just thick enough that it doesn't charge.  It does fit in the compartment with the case.

I got it on Amazon for less than $10.

Charging works great plugged in. I like that I don't have to take the case off and the charging is faster than even map mode drains it.

The map mode seems to kill my battery the most.  I can tell it makes my phone hot if I leave it in my pocket.  I just let it connect and do it's thing and then end map mode.  My S22 does work with the wireless charger, but only with the case off, so I use a 6 inch right an...

Well, I just tinkered with it, and it appears you cracked the nut.  I ran through about 4 cycles of on/off and was able to get it connected all 4 times.  I did have to do one more thing - I had to mess with the media output settings on my phone.  I'll play with it a little...

Has anyone else used a Cardo Packtalk Bold with an RT with the new TFT successfully?  Currently, if I do get it to connect for audio, I have to turn the ignition on, let everything connect, and then shut it off and back on again to get audio through my headset.  I do not have the C...

I've done 20+ years of riding and modifying HDs to try and make them what I wanted them to be with suspension and engine mods. All I had to do was buy the RT and ride it. Almost 6000 miles in the 9 months I have had the RT and I'll never go back.

I do the same with a no-mar balancer for the same reason - its a hassle getting them done at a shop.  Send me a set of new hoops and I'm mounted, balanced, and riding in a couple of hours. 

Fair point.  And I will say the Sargeant seat is still far more comfortable than the stock seat, it is just very firm.  I wonder if there is a difference between low and standard height too...

I have the Sargeant low with heat on my 21 RT and it is very hard.  I'll probably add an airhawk cushion for the long hauls.  I did 5 days on the bike this past season, and the last pull of 450 miles was pretty brutal.

Update on Motoscan for the 1250RT.  Confirmed that in version 1.8, service reset for the new TFT is now enabled.

I had been using glass cleaner that is safe for tint and a microfiber but recently installed a screen protector.  The glass cleaner still works well.

I was only able to find a 2019 manual, which lists 180ml.  I measured what I drained out of my 2021 RT with a mix cup and measured 200ml.

Thank you David and Sally.  Update on the motoscan issue for others who might be curious.  They were not aware of the change, so I sent logs to them so that they can get it in the next release, which is looking like it might be in August.
