I recently purchased a 2012 R1250RT, having had several RT’s over the years with the electric windshield. After turning the engine off, the windshield should return to the lower position and when starting back up again the windshield should return to the previous position. While my windshield motor works manually with the handlebar button, it has stopped the previous function. I took the bike in for the 600 mile service and the dealer reset the programming. The dealer said if any weight is put on the shield it will stop working that way. They stated that several of the police motorbikes have had this issue because the officers will put their gear on the windshield or the dash. Well after washing my bike and the windshield the auto up and down function is lost again. Dealer says it is not covered by warranty. How is one to wash the shield without putting any weight on the shield? Anyone else having this issue?
