Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

I use a torch!  As you say it is not easy to see.

Just checked yesterday.  I can't see the level even with a flashlight.  Shaking the bike doesn't help.  Spent 15 minutes taking the fairing off  (slowly so I don't break the stupid tab) and 5 seconds to check the coolant level.  It was at the max line.

You would think there would be some colour from whatever antifreeze it uses.
