BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I purchased a demo 2022 R1250RT Sport about a year ago. At 1yr and 3800 mi I took it in for an oil change and annual service. The bike was serviced at the place and by the master mechanic that services the RT cop bikes for the local county. I mention all this because after his test ride, he mentioned that he felt there was significantly more vibration felt in the handle bars and seat than in other RTs including the cop bikes he services.
Anyone have any similar experiences?
thanks

Have you checked to see if you have thrown a wheel weight? Otherwise you shouldn't be having that problem.

It could be from anywhere having not ridden your bike. Start having a close look at the tyres. They may look good but may be fitted wrongly. then see if the wheels are true. As a ex-demo bike they don't get treated the best, maybe a slight buckle on the wheel.
After all that work up, checking nut,bolts etc. May take a long time to track down but you will know what it is not.

thanks to both repliers

appreciate everyone's replies.
i picked up the bike yesterday and all is back to normal.
problem was a part connecting the stator to the magnetic fly wheel had broken. this allowed the two parts to rotate independently and were about 30-40 degrees off. this caused them to wobble and thus vibrate. inquired and was told no other internal damage done. the bike rides very well now with what i believe is a normal boxer buzz.
kudos to Mark, service manager, and Ben, service technician, at Tampa Bay Motos. also, call out to Grant, salesman, there that was very helpful throughout the process.
