BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

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 a...

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 suprised...

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" r...

Been looking at one of these, limited to just resetting service light...... would rather a cheaper version of a full reader.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225879470937?_skw=healtech+maintenance+mate&itmmeta=01JFQJYM553NM7ZWNNAB1ES15T&hash=item3497773359:g:l8oAAOSwQJBlWzeN&itmprp=enc%3AAQ...

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, waitin...

Thats not good to hear, my only gripe with my 1250RT is the rattly engine noise...... thinking of gettng the modified cam chain tensioner fitted but now thinking they cant be quieten'd down.... could go the other way and fit a loud exhaust

Not my RT but a mates Honda, went for a run with him and noticed that his front indicators are permanently lit? Obviously the one flashes when he indicates. I didn’t think this was legal, done a googly and found this Technically the indicators that are always on are illegal in the UK. Law states tha...

Getting closer
just seen this pic posted on Facebook.... looks like 1200RT so if it works on this I assume will work on 1250?
guy that posted has ordered one and awaiting delivery... hope it works with wonderwheel

Watching with interest, but I haven’t seen anyone showing it working with the non lcd screen rt. all the videos I have seen show the lcd and the long press on the menu button to switch from the lcd to the nav….
If anyone has it on the earlier 1250 would be good to see..

You asked about the fairing socket for charging, I bought an optimate apparently it wakes up the can bus and allows charging through the socket….. all above my pay grade but seems to work.

Gave the RT the day off and pottered around Glasgow's street art on the Trumpet.....
