BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I feel the same, the bike has tendency to lean into a corner more than I would like to. That is when riding on my own. I think it is more for me to get the bike tilted more than it has to be, as I like moving a bike under me. It does not happen when riding with pillion. So it has to be me as rider. ...

It is my first year of ownership, 9,000km on mine and 1,000km on rented one on a holiday. After communist two-stroke 350 and Honda 250 thumper, it is the best bike I ever rode (without surprise). The bike is "third" hand, but previous owners treated it amazingly. I've just clocked 30,000km...

Welcome!

Do you mean this one? https://www.normski-bmw.co.uk/product-page/clutch-lever-ram-bolt I had it one day, but it was a bit too tight, my clutch lever was not returning fully on a sunny day and because of that the clutch switch didn't disengage and my quick-shifter wasn't working. I'll need to get it ...

I have one and use it. Mine is with inductive charging. Works well with Samsung S10e phone, however... I have removed my phone from normal case and since using it in the linked cradle, my screen developed slowly creeping HW fault that I'll be trying to repair soon. I am not blaming the phone holder,...

Hello and welcome! And enjoy riding the perfect bike for lowlands.

My 1200LC is many bikes in one. For regular riding and with a pillion, 2 - 4k is an easy and not threatening the traffic. And when there is no elevation.
However, the beast that wakes up under me once I pass 5000rpm is addictive, especially when the road begins to rise upwards.

I've seen on YT a lazy Suzan mechanism/bearings mounted on two sheets of plywood, but the user had lighter bike.

It was windy with showers, so I went out for a short ride to ride in a rain during daylight, to practice. And I've experienced my first wheel-spin, when leaving traffic lights, so practice ride well worth it. It softened all the flies that were left of the Blue Motor Whale, so I could clean the fron...

The pull on the front brake lever is not only firm, but also very quick.
I've used it a few times, but I would have used it more, if it stayed engaged with the site-stand down, due to having ramp in front of the gate.

Central locking on the handlebars only.

Spill-proof cup holder - https://rammount.com/products/ram-b-132bu. I have a search saved for it on fleabay. Our second office is 2 hours away, which would make for perfect time to sip my morning brew.

Phone Mount note here: I bought the "flea-bay" induction Nav-mounted holder, and it hasn't skipped a beat in 7,000km over my few months of ownership. I use google maps, blue-tooth to headset, GPS logger and sometimes play music, and it still provides enough power to charge the phone while ...

We flew to rent a RT for a week with flea-bay pannier bag and helmet bag. The top box was used only for daily stuff (water, cameras, rain pants, snacks, sun block, visor/windshield cleaning). And we still found we brought too much with us. An elastic peg-less clothes line was an essential and saved ...

I have induction charging phone holder for the sat-nav prep that works fantastically.
