BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

My 1250RT is only a couple of year old, I've added a Sargent seat, lowered foot pegs, raised bars, a touring screen, and am now looking into a mount for my phone as the bikes nav set up is frustrating me of late, no idea what happened, last year it was ok, took it out this year and it's like they ha...

It's lovely up here just now, I think your going to have a cracking week, off season on the NC500 and great weather to boot, it doesn't get much better

I was hoping for so much more :oops: No back lit controls? No variable ride height for low speed stability? No significant gain in flexibility? No proper sat nav or apple car play - we all know the current system is tragic :oops: No adjustable handle bars? BMW could have done so much more with this,...

https://i.postimg.cc/xTGR6vpb/2025-04-28-09-29-55.jpg I've just bought a new version which is the same as some of my friends intercoms, so this one is no longer needed. One of the units has been playing up lately, so I want to be transparent and say there are two sets of everything, including unuse...

Anyone got any experience of these?

I'm considering fitting a phone mount for my R1250 2022 RT and would be interested what people are using and how you have found it?

I thought something like this may be useful, anyone used this?

I'll give this a go next week with a bit of luck

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...

PMed you over a week ago - who places a sale add and then does not bother to reply to anyone -

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 ...

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...

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

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

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

Sorry buddy

Let he who has no sin and all that.............. we have all been there in one form or another, I'm glad it's just your pride that hurt and both you and the bike are relatively unscathed.

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
