Hi everyone.
Taking delivery of a new to me 1200RT (2018) today.
Happy to be part of what appears to be a great forum.

Welcome to our site. What a lovely day to pick it up.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you

Re: Newbie from. UK.
Sorry to sound smug..... But I'm having it delivered
. It was a 7 hr (at least) round trip and only £200 to have it delivered - no brainier tbh as I back at work after a glorious sunny week off last week in West Wales.
Should be here in around an hour and a half.
Have an Innovv K7 to fit before use...... I had a bike written off last year by a car rear ending me so no chances taken.

Welcome to the club, my RT was written off last year on the exit of a roundabout, the K3 fitted proved invaluable for evidence as to the cause. I should have a final settlement payout in the next few weeks.

Re: Newbie from. UK.
That's good news at least. I'm still a long way off. Have an upcoming MRI to determine what's wrong with my shoulder.
Until then the claim can't be finalised.
Don't suppose you fitted the K3 yourself? I will be fitting mine but unsure of the best /easiest place to connect the yellow switched live.

I did fit it, but bought a Thunderbox for the power distribution, the front camera is mounted on one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001166 ... ry_from%3A

Re: Newbie from. UK.
Connect the switch wire to the V+ on one of the aux power sockets theres one on the front right hand fairing and one on the left under the back rack. Thats the easiest solution.
