BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Life not turned out as I envisaged! 62, still working and a mortgage still to March next year!!! I dream of retirement!!! At least when I get out on the bike my worries disappear!!

Bought my 21 plate in May 23 with 5,000 miles on the clock, it now is just shy of 32,000!!! Costing me a small fortune!!
Does include two European summer trips of over 4,000 miles each! (Two up and camping gear!)
However, I just love the bike how much it is worth now I dread to ask!!

Have to say I also quite like the new look

Have never specifically checked mine, either after a wet ride or washing, but seeing there is a small paper note pad and small box of matches in it - I have never noticed them wet/damp!!! If it wasn't designed to be waterproof, why put in the rubber seal begs the question?

Don't think you can, haven't checked with the manual, but never been able to zoom on the map in the split screen myself, only when on the full setting.

That was hilarious
Don't think it would work for me!!

Have also had the same issue for a week or two!! Thought that it was just me and my phone (Samsung Galaxy A71!) Can't offer any advice or help either, because I haven't been able to work anything out. Have also tried restarts etc, but to no avail. Have also noticed that I now have to open the app on...

I recently (20th March) had new header pipes fitted. Bike booked in for 18,000 service, first mot and two tyres. Some days before the engine light had come on a couple of times, but cleared upon restart, so just mentioned it when booked in. Then got a call to say that the cause was the exhaust flap ...

I have it and like it when I have used it.
Although don't have the need for it a lot of the time on normal UK roads, motorways if not excessively busy I find it very useful.

Hi, Done exactly the same thing on a 2021 RT. Looking down in front of the tank on left hand side (as when sat on bike) just under the bottom of the cubby hole, you will see some wiring all clipped in. Amongst that you should also see a blanked off connector (black), cabled tied to the loom. Careful...

I have a small zipped coin purse! That has another small zipped pocket on the side. Plastic key fits nicely in there, and I keep the purse in my jacket pocket!!

Made the most of the weather before back to work tomorrow! 190 mile (5.5 hrs) round trip to Bala Lake using mainly minor/A roads. Pretty quiet and beautiful ride out! Flask of coffee and a turkey sandwich by the lake!

Yes, another year rapidly disappearing!
Picture reminds me to forget my age!
Merry Christmas to you and all

Don't quite know what's going on with the connected app! Had another update the other day to find it was reinstalling all my maps again! Out on a ride on Sunday, but still getting the maps changing scale on the tft screen. No issue with the speed indication, but did notice when got home that it is n...

My short trip yesterday seemed to show all correct in the app afterwards, showed the average and max speed, the same as before.
