BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

That Wunderlich mount is pricey, you're right. I've seen some people use RAM mounts and adapt them, but it's not the cleanest look. I'm also not a fan of stick-on mounts for something like a GPS. If you find anything else that bolts on nicely, let me know

I switched from a modular to a lighter full-face a while back for similar reasons, and it made a huge difference. I don't know the exact weights of the Shoei helmets, but maybe check out their full-face options like the RF-1400 or the X-Fifteen? They're supposed to be pretty lightweight. You might h...

I don’t use a tank bag, mostly because I prefer to keep things light and not have extra bulk on the bike. I usually just go with a small backpack or a crossbody bag that I can take with me when I stop. Tank bags seem useful, but I never liked the idea of something sitting on the tank while riding. I...

Hey man, that ride sounds incredible! The Million Dollar Highway is a dream route, especially for an R1250RT. It must’ve been a smooth and scenic trip. Escaping the Phoenix heat and cruising through Colorado’s mountain roads? Perfect combo! If you’re into editing your ride footage, you might want to...

I just use a cheap, large tarp. Works perfectly for dust and keeps it dry.

Have you tried contacting a BMW dealer or a specialist motorcycle parts supplier?

Could be a slow leak in the valve stem itself, even if you didn't see bubbles. Sometimes those little things are sneaky. Worth getting a new valve stem put in, cheap fix, and it's a common culprit.

For places to visit, Berat (“the city of a thousand windows”) is a must-see, as is Gjirokastër, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Albanian Riviera is another highlight, with gorgeous beaches like Ksamil and Dhërmi. If you’re heading to Paleros, stopping in the Llogara Pass for its incredible vie...

I've had good luck with the Quad Lock and Ram Mount cradles for my bike. They’re both pretty solid and adjustable, so you can get a secure fit in the sat nav prep on the RT. I’ve used them for a while, and they hold up well even on rougher rides. Just make sure to double-check the mounting options t...

It sounds like your Pixel might be having a connection hiccup. I had something similar happen with my old phone, and what worked for me was toggling off WiFi and Bluetooth, then turning them back on. If that doesn't help, you could try forgetting the WiFi network and reconnecting. Another thing you ...

Hey Mac, I had a similar issue with my intercoms once. It might be a Bluetooth conflict between the bike and the intercoms. What worked for me was unpairing the helmets from the bike's app first, then pairing them with the intercoms. Also, double-check if there's a firmware update for either the bik...

I've done a similar LED swap on my bike, and I’d recommend double-checking the resistor ratings to make sure they’re not going to overheat the system. Your color choices for wiring look good, but I’d still verify them with your bike’s wiring diagram since different models can have some variations. P...
