How does one get into the side cases being so close to the wheel wells? Gotta be annoying to remove them everytime you want to get something out.

My 2019 RT came with Illium floorboards installed. I took them off and put the original rider pegs back on because they were scraping too often. I do tend to ride pretty aggressively in the twisties so that might be the main issue

You'd think BMW learned their lesson with the 1250/1200. I guess they like spending millions on recalls.

I am incredulous at the over thinking here.
Just follow manufacturers instructions...if it says put in 4 after draining, just do it.
Close it off and walk away or ride.
Yes, it is that easy !!

Yeah, of the 20+ bikes I've owned throughout my riding career my RT is literally the easiest to do a ...

I guess the MI motorcycle police force wasn't interested in actually catching anyone in pursuits.

Well FWIW, was cleaning the bike yesterday and was shocked to see how much wear shows on the front Pilot Road 5GT.
There is only 11,000 kms on these tires and I doubt I can make it to the end of the summer on them.
Very disappointed ....I know, I know, fantastic grip wet or dry.
Good bye ...

I use Syphon Sound Pro helmet speakers. I could never keep earbuds in place when putting on/taking off my full face helmet and they would never stay in the right position.

Nice. That looks slick.

Hello,
Just picked up a new to me low mileage 2019 R1250RT. It was sitting awhile in storage and I'm currently going through it to bring her back up to speed. It looks like the recall on the drive shaft wasn't done. Does anyone know how long that service takes?

Thanks!
