BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

2012 R1200RT SE on 1st day of tour in Spain and screen has got stuck in the up position, right in line of sight so a bit of a safety concern and no wind blast to keep cool . I’ve read that the switch gear is an issue on these models but is there anything I can do to bring it down manually? Thanks for any suggestions. Love Spain, got off ferry this morning at Bilbao and have motored down to Biescas, sky resort. Heading to Cardona tomorrow but need that pesky screen working!

A BMW recovery technician told me that the switches don't like heat.

Try covering the switch and/or put the bike in the shade.

Thanks David, left it 30 minutes once at Hotel and tried again and it’s working. Canbus re-set , let’s see what tomorrow brings. Right off to the bar for a cool beer.
