BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hello all, I just bought a 2016 RT today and I had a question about the "Red Exclamation Point Triangle" light flashing at startup. Is that normal... Part of the ABS/Systems check?


Thanks

It's normal.  Should go out as soon as you move off.  It's all in the manual.

Ok thanks

Amber warnings x 2 as opposed to red??As you say, extinguish as you pull away.

Normal start-up I get a red warning triangle and two amber ones. The red one goes away after a couple of seconds, the two amber ones as soon as the wheels have completed a couple of rotations. So what you are describing seems perfectly normal.

Thanks for confirming, that is exactly what's happening.

or it's the second example of the same fault...

Cynic.


It's possible but I think unlikely. Having read through the manual the red triangle is the 'general warning indicator' which should always come on with another indicator to show the specific fault. I don't get any additional indicator and it goes away as soon as the bike has started. Looks to me like it is just part of the start-up routine.


Any other owners with 2017 MY model bikes want to chip in with their experience?
