Hi Afeber, what mielage was on your RT when the shaft was repaced and did you have any signs making you think the shaft was needing repaced?

Love Lobster... goin to North Berwick next week, always visit the lobster shack on the pier....
Unfortunately wont be on the RT, it struggles to tow the caravan

Just reading some other posts and realised..... might be to do with my Phone, which I put in my left pocket.... so if fob is near phone it doesn't work as well?

Mine signals key missing if I dont put the fob in my right hand pocket! Even with a fresh battery. Works fine if I put the fob in the glove box thingy but then I walk away and forget to take the key with me

My other is a Bonneville..... because, now and again I just like getting my feet flat on the ground

DT50MX - the first bike I rode.
It was my brother's - I rode it up the driveway and into the garage on the night he got it home, didn't notice that the kick start had gone up my trouser leg and toppled over to the right when I came to a halt. :oops:


:lol: I have a big brother a lot like you ...

Got a shot of my pals ratty BSA bantam in a field on his dad's farm, bought a DT50MX in 1980, shop trailered it to a railway yard on a Saturday morning where I done 30 minutes Bronze Star Rider course. Then set free to drive through Glasgow city center back home :shock:
1 year later bought a RD200 ...

I will check if I get chance I'm sure I have seen it somewhere on mine but I could be thinking of the car

Had a play about after a run today, info is on the Nav VI, says I have just over 6000mls till next service

10,000 km is 6000 miles which is the service interval :thumb:


I mentioned this because the instructions said to change to KMs before resetting, but I coulldnt do this so it may have set it at 10,000 mies... not that it matters as i dont do large mileages, always the year for servicing.

Was ...

So in the end I went with the Healtech unit, changed the oil today and re-set the service light, all went ok ish.

All previous servicing done by BMW, nearly broke the filer cap trying to get ot off... kin ell bloody tight, also oil filter on far too tight, had a chain wrench on it with a 1/2 ...

Been looking at one of these, limited to just resetting service light...... would rather a cheaper version of a full reader....

funny you mention this, I was out on my RT on Saturday and noticed the low beam on a lot more than normal.... probably just the dull day?

website seems to confirm it works with BMW too

Anyone bought one of these? I messaged the seller and asked if it definately worked on BMW's they said yes...... Im sceptical....

My mate has bought one... Ive seen it but not heard it running, he intially liked it better than his RT, then was finding the riding position not quite right for him, he raised the bars but before he could get a few miles on it the suspension packed up... been with dealer for a few weeks now ...
