Re: I've returned to the fold with a new RT

Looking good If its connected to power then lift the rear seat and disconnect the power first Then open the top box and look under the carpet and you will see a big dial in the middle slide the unlock tab and twist it then you are free to lift it off Thanks - didn't realise there was power; I guess...

I've returned to the fold with a new RT

I sold my 1200RT a couple of years ago for a Triumph Tiger 900 which was some fun but neither a very competent tourer nor enough of a "throw it round the lanes" for 100 miles bike. So then I bought an R12 NineT when that was announced - I had an original R NineT around 10 years ago and it ...

I’ve had mine from new, and still love it 👍
Yep, probably the same one - £8990 and around 10k miles.

Ahh well :-)

UK: WTB 2016+ R1200RT or 1250RT

Ideally less than around 12k miles but well looked after. Gadgets and mods welcome if not too intrusive, but more interested in things like Hill Start control and TPMS or central locking. Would consider one with just panniers, but ideally a full luggage set would be preferable. I'm located in Glouce...

I just missed out on buying a beautiful Iconic today

I'm looking to get an RT (I had one a few years ago and want another now), and saw a gorgeous Iconic in an advertisement last night, but when I rang the dealer this morning to negotiate he was already dealing with someone in the actual showroom. Dealer rang me back a couple of hours later to tell me...

SOLD - Givi XS307 Tankbag for sale for R1200RT including locking ring

Finally I have a Givi XS307 tank bag for sale, with the Givi locking ring system. Works really well for refuelling, easy to pop the bag off. The bag has seen some use but otherwise is in good order. I've included the 4 screws supplied with the locking ring kit. Good little day bag, that expands to 1...

SOLD - Garmin Zumo XT satnav for sale with 3D adapter included

Hi, I've sold my RT so have some items for sale. First up, a barely used condition Garmin Zumo XT, boxed with mounting and power adapters and original manuals. Also included is the 3D aftermaket adapter so it slots straight into the R1200RT mounting plate (and possibly R1250RT, not sure) - one of th...

Re: Zumo entry point takes me round the block and home again

This is a good idea except I was in a strange town in the tiny back streets so I needed the route to the main road, and then a heading in the right direction.

I have more trips planned in the next few days so I'll see how I get on
Thanks
