BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I have a R1200RT low seat for sale. It’s a heated version and came from a 2009 bike. £200.

I was told that the strip had been replaced with a new design, but that availability was poor due to demand. This was back in October. I’ll be trying again in a couple of months to see if I can get mine booked in. It’ll be another painful £200, but necessary for the peace of mind of having a working...

apparently there is now a OEM fix for this. Difficult to get hold of due to demand and won’t be a FOC replacement. It’s on back order, I’ve asked my local BMW workshop to let me know when it becomes available. I might try the piezo zapping technique but I’d feel more reassured with a pukka replaceme...
