Just picked up a new to me 2015 R1200RT. Noticed the other day that the space provisioned for a wrench on the underside of the stock seat is empty. Any help as to what type/size wrench came stock with the seat? Thanks in advance for your help. Six
 
RT Tools under seat

Unless things changed from the 2014 model, there are only two tools under the seat: the Torx screw driver and a plastic wrench that does the rear seat bolts and maybe the oil filler (don’t remember because I changed mine out as soon as I got the bike). Doesn’t even have a wrench to remove the battery.
 
Hers a pic of a seat bottom from a 2016 RT .... note the sliver wrench below the torx screwdriver.

The tools shown on REALOEM for the K52 (R 1200 RT) R 1200 RT (0A03, 0A13) Car tool kit:
Screwdriver rotary knob w insert
Double open end wrench
Oil cap opener

I wonder why the RT comes with 2 tools to open the oil cap.

I don't think you can get the screw driver bottom under the bodywork on the wethead RT (it might fit but I've never tried it). Its a snug fit even with the wrench specific to that purpose.

They probably included the same screwdriver and just added the other tool.

Lee, what is wrench #2 (14mm) used for in the kit pic you posted? Thanks, Six

Bikes are tucked away in the cold garage now.
I think the exhaust hanger nut is 14 but you still need a 13mm to loosen the clamp to remove the muffler on a RS.

If it warms up later this week I may pull the front wheels for new tires.
I'll try to remember to look the bike over then for a 14mm nut.
 
OK thanks. The guy I just bought my 2015 RT from had previously owned a R1200R and the 14mm wrench from that bike was in the kit he gave me for the RT. Just curious on why that wrench is stock on some BMW bikes. Thanks for your time sir.
