r1200rt

I've owned a few bikes in my years of riding. Yamaha, Kawasaki, and BMW. For the BMWs, I've owned a 1996 R1100RT, worked as an officer on a 2004 R1150RT, and owned a 2007 R1200RT and now a 2006 R1200RT bought from a dealer here in Jacksonville 2 weeks ago. For all the complaints I tend to find...

Have a 2009 R1200RT and have mounted new LED Piaa's. Really unsure what line to tap into for a "ignition switch only". A pic and color lead would be very helpful for this electronically challenged rider. Thanks so much in advance. Tried to tap into rear brake light but a buzzing emitted from the...

Hi, Has anybody got some pictures of their (Clearwater Light) standard mounting bracket for my 2012 R1200RT? If so, please send the to me offline at my gmail account CaptRehkopf. Thanks in advance for the help. Ride Safe, Robert

I have replaced the twin H7 low beams with 55 w HID H7 bulbs and that worked for a little while but now I get the fault icon, right light doesn't work. Problem is the HIDs drawing too much amps diluting start/ heat up. Going to require the low beams directly to the Fuze Bloc but want the 'light...

I'm trying to put the LOWEST Corbin 1 piece seat on for a ride with my wife. Took off the 2 piece (front seat & Smuggler). Cannot fit the seat because of ... ? Any tips on the right process would be helpful, thanks. R1200RT 2013

Greetings all, Does anyone know if a NEW clip-on tank bag from a 2012 R1200RT will fit on an older 2005 R1200RT? Many thanks, Spinakr

My 2007 R1200RT started and ran for about 10 seconds, then died and hasn't started since. The plugs are getting spark, but no fuel. I don't hear the fuel pump spin up when I turn on the key. Some folks on Facebook suggested that it is the fuel pump controller. Is this likely and is it something...

Greetings all, I am unable to balance the throttle bodies on my '05 R1200RT. With engine off, I used a GS-911 to park/Sync the stepper motors, then with engine off I connected a Harmonizer and zero'd it out. Started the bike and the 2 vertical slashes were far to the left at -30 mb. I tried...

Has anyone installed a flash2Pass transmitter on an R1200RT? I really can't see how I'm going to tap into the high beam wires off the back of the bulb. There's just no room to shove the Flash2Pass transmitter in there and get the cover back on. Plus, I only have about 2 inches of wire behind...

Okay everybody Hopefully you understand the complexities of my question?? Used to have an older airhead and had a really nice elephantenboy tank bag with the front, back and sides leather connect straps. So now back to the future and now own a 2012 R1200RT with no easy way to install the old...

Hello all, I am a new BMW owner and so far have loved the bike. However like many, I found the accessory ports wanting when connecting heated gear. I searched the web for answers but found the responses short for my needs. So for my first post, I would like to add my experience to help others...

Current Mileage, 28,598 Several months ago I performed the Valve Adjustment as described in the HEXHEAD Tech section. Used .30mm gauges for exhaust and .15mm gauge for the intakes. All went well and I double checked my work. Ever since, I have noticed a pronounced tick from the left cylinder...

On my way home from a Blue Ridge Parkway trip, I discovered that my rear Road Pilot 3 was effectively trashed: the left sidewall was showing white cord all the way 'round, with deeper flat patches showing through the cord. I got heart palpitations when I saw that - we could have had a major...

I've been looking at information regarding Brake servo flushing for my '05 R1200RT. And the one thing I have not been able to determine, is if the bike is supposed to have bleeders factory installed on the the calipers? I was going to purchase some "Speed-Bleeders" and install them, but when I...

Hi all, Just recently noticed that I seem to have some "clunky" up-shifts. When I bought the bike a year ago, I don't think I noticed this. Is something out of adjustment? Or is there something I can check? Many thanks, Rob Oh! And to add, I only have 27k on the ODO

This isn't unique to Hexheads, but as I have an '07 RT and there are a few threads in this forum about mirrors, I thought I'd start here. Has anyone installed the Saeng QuickScan mirrors on a bike, an RT in particular? http://www.saeng.com/product.php?id=558&category=61 Like a lot of folks...

I recently installed a Corbin Smuggler. I am contemplating adding an electrical plug for recharging phone/camera/etc. Is there any reason not to source this from the passenger seat heater connection?

When I picked up my 2011 R1200RT, I noticed that inside the "glove box" cover, there was a spring clip. It looked intended to hold a small flashlight. I checked the BMW accessories, and the parts fiche for all the R-series. No luck. The K1600 has the same clip and that parts fiche showed a...
