BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

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.

Hope the collection goes well, pity it was not last week - wall to wall sunshine across the 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.

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

Ordered the same bracket already. Will look at a thunderbox.... Was hoping not to spend more. Expensive month lol

Welcome to the forum

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.
