Re: Best All Around Tire For The RT

I've been running Michelin Road 6GT's on my 2015 RT my riding buddy has a 2014 and he got 20,000 km from a set of Kenda KM1's without any issue.

Re: New R1200RT Owner

I also switched to a 2015 RT after about 20 years on an ST1100 and an ST1300. Absolutely loved both ST's but wanted some of the extras the RT offered. I expect maintenance will cost more than the ST's (as they cost almost nothing in over 180,000 km's total), but the RT is so much fun that I think I ...

Re: Nav VI

Thanks Casbar. That's kind of what I was thinking of doing, using the Nav VI mounting plate. Can you give me any more details about the "fly lead" and the "correct plug" for the power?

Re: Nav VI

Thanks folks. I'm pretty sure I'll go with the Zumo and I'd like to mount it in front of the Nav VI cover plate as well. Any pictures of such an install would be great!
