Re: Sat nave being an arse!

I'm still struggling then, I've done about 500 miles this year so far, and the sat nav has played up on every outing, so whatever they have done it's messed mine up. I could do with having a look at an alternative before I do a big trip just to cover me, I can't be bothered being stranded in the mid...

Re: Michelin Road 6GT 180/55/17

I fancy some of these tyres, my existing 5GTs have been good, and I've got about 2mm on the front and 3mm on the back at 6500 miles, so I'll be swapping them in a couple of months before I do a Europe trip as it's going to be around the 3,000+ mile ish mark, and there is no way they will be fit for ...

Sat nave being an arse!

My 2022 RT has been fine using the inbuilt sat nave 99% of the time, even though it is a bit inconvenient, it disconnects when stopped for fuel or coffee and has to reconnect - but I can live with that. Recently after being laid up for winter though it took a while to connect up, the maps didn't wan...

Re: 1250 RT 2024 year - why always WiFi access with Map ?

I think the issue is on the BMW side, not the iPhone side.

The BMW side does not offer auto connect, the iPhone does :oops:

BMW have no plans to change this, I asked, something to do with licencing I think, but don't quote me on that :roll:

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

Looking good, congratulations, I'm pretty sure the top box is accessed by lifting the carpet in it and removing a couple of hand screws and the light cable. It's a while since I've done it, so if anyone else can elaborate please do :cheers:

Re: BMW/KTM

Sound like a poor deal for KTM and the staff, but then, going out of business is not exactly great either :oops:

Re: Internal / Dust Cover

Something specific loks better, but a large quilt cover or dust sheet does the job well, and are easy to pick up for under a tenner :P

Re: Shoei Neotec 2 - Breather Guard

You could try putting some tape on it to make it marginally larger?

If that does not work, I have the same helmet and don't use the breath guard, so I can send you a new one if you decide you need it ;)
