BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago. I think the rubber seal can fold the wrong way and gum up the working on the lock. I ended up having to pry it open once I’d seen which way the key needed to be (can’t recall that bit off the top of my head). But you may need a wide, thin tool of some for...

I hadn't, but I'll have a look now. Cheers.

I had a warning from BMW when I had the shaft replaced that all 3 discs were near minimum spec, and quoted me just under £1k to do it. :lol: They will have their little joke! I bought BMW/Brembo replacements because I found a brand new front pair, pre-owned and still in the box on another site. The...

Hi All,
I've scoured the site and can't find any recent articles for help.

Need to replace rear pads and disc - 1200RT, 15 plate, UK based.

I can find a myriad of discs and pads but can't seem to narrow them down to what fits the bike.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

So i thought i was having a problem with my DRL going on and off all the time when i was out on the bike. When i watched the video from the rear camera of my wife bike the DRL looked like there was a fault with them. After a bit of help It turns out its not a fault with the system on my bike. It wa...

Brilliant, that'll make life easier. Cheers for the replies.

Hi All, just a quick one. I've seen loads and loads of threads about sound bombs, but can't find the answer so I'll ask the question: 2015 1200RT with 1x standard horn mounted in the fairing. Looking to upgrade with EZCan system including horn. Just need to know if I need to get the SPLIT sound bomb...

So I do agree that side opening panniers are a pain, and yes I have had stuff kamikazi out of the pannier as I open it. BUT... I can't complain about the size or the weather proofing of them (mine are factory ones on a 2015 model). Personally I've gone for the cheaper option of keeping things togeth...

So my Ezcan is all fitted (thank FK). What a pain in the a$$ to do. I spent yesterday indoors with the soldering iron making all the cables to length. Even doing that did not make it any easier to fit, even with all the panels and headlight removed. But its done now. I wanted to set the top spotlig...

I now have a Hex Ezcan & a Denali CanSmart connected together on my R1250T and its all working as they should. I know there both made by Hex, but its good to know for sure that they work together. So i can now connect upto 8 items thought the CanBus, plus my innovv k7 cameras and phone from the...

Yeah I got a similar scare today too. I just picked up my used RT but it was an Autotrader purchase rather than through a dealer. Decided that I’d get it a health check just to be on the safe side so booked in for an annual service. Going to sting me for £300, maybe more. And most of that is labour!...

Will drop you a message directly bud.

Hi All, So I've just gotten hold of my 15 plate 1200RT and just wondering if there's anything I need to know, anything I need to look out for, or anything worth doing to it? It's had all the recall's done so I know they're not a worry. And it's only done 21,000 miles in its 9 years so it's hardly be...

Now then... I'm Deepest Darkest south Lincs, down near Bourne. Any further and I'd fall across the border!

Morning all. Took possession of my new pride and joy last week, a 15 plate 1200rt with hardly any miles on it (less than 21k when I got the keys in my hand!) And quickly squirrelled it away in South Lincolnshire. Already had a flick through some of the topics on here and there's a world of knowledge...
