BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

To compliment the stand modification I also bought one of these. Not particularly cheap but I like the functionality and having only to carry a small spring loaded pin it gets a good review from "Benetts" who said it was one of the hardest disc locks they've tested to defeat. Between the c...

I never liked the way BMW designed the pannier lids without sufficient damping when you open them. Ideally, they should have made them like the top case, however, a bit of an improvement can be made using some elastic cord on the other side from the rather feeble oem drop cord. https://www.picdrop.c...

Well, as intended I have now done this modification as well.
It's a relatively simple mod but one that will hopefully add some extra security to your bike.

Saw these advertised for sale for the R1200GS Its a modification to the centre stand in exchange for a lot of money :shock: It allows you to insert a lock through it so you can't take the bike off the centre stand which I thought was a good idea to stop any opportunist thieves while out touring etc...

My solution was the same as the cable tied rubber only I cleaned up the area on the swing arm and attached it with Tiger Seal. A three week tour of Norway and six week tour of Europe this year and absolutely no sign of it coming off. I checked it when I changed the rear tyre after the last trip and ...

I have a Clarke ramp (CML3) and it has served me well, I only wish I had bought one sooner rather than waiting about 30 years before doing so!

Got mine here, good price and quick delivery. https://www.sitebox.ltd.uk/

Here's my two penneth, 1250 2020 RT , 8500 miles, MIL light comes on and stays on, muffler off and can see flap only partial movement, independent BMW specialist removes cables, set the flap fully open and knocks off the light, ride home about 40 miles and light stays off, great !!,  later...

I still have all the parts so when I get spare time I can easily do a few tests and see what's going on for sure When I was messing with mine I could have sworn the cables pull either way but can't be positive! I just thought sod it for £40 the servo buddy just removes the lot and its job done Inte...

Why not use the GS-911 to perform a service function on the valve and watch it to see if it all moves freely? Better still remove the cables and the controller and replace it with one of these https://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/ese I'm not sure if it's even necessary to fit a Healtech. A...

That's not snow, it's white chips. If you go to "street view" here and have a good look around, you can see Google caught them when they were just starting to put the new chips down to the left side of the Inn. Granted, it could be taken as snow in the photo. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/...

I'd say this new website is a scam.


Website created 7th February 2022, owners details hiding behind a paid service on WHOIS.


No reviews as yet, prices ridiculously low, it's not somewhere I'd be buying from.

Every day's a school day! I was under the impression that after you switched the ignition off that you only had a short time period when you could open the cap and then it locked. I just tried the same as another poster on here, I went out to my bike without the key and of course, the cap was locked...

I've had this on my previous K1600 it's condensation, the screens are supposed to be fully waterproof but some do let moisture in.
It will disappear in time but when washing your bike, keep any water well away from that area.

I have rented from these guys before, they are very friendly and work out of the Malaga area.
Perhaps drop them an email and ask for advice?
