Obligatory New member post

[spinalator]

Hello all. New to BMW's, new to the forum from Western Canada, weather is crappy since I have the week off. Instead of cleaning the garage, I decided to work on the new bike. I am starting with the XM antenna on my new '23 RT, since 30K is definitely enough to expect a working radio. Then I will attempt to add engine protection bars, and maybe a CarPlay screen if I am feeling frisky.

PS - I am not a fan of BMW not allowing service manuals in the dirty hands of customers, so I will be looking lots online for people that have experience wrenching on these bikes. I do not do a ton of my own work anymore, but like to look things up, since my closest dealer is 250 KM away, and a good dealer is 500 km away.

Welcome spinalator! Great choice for your first BMW. Don't forget to post the semi-obligatory pics of your new bike.

Welcome spinalator from the Tennessee River valley. Can’t help with RT service, but do look around the RT Forums for tips and what Not-2-Dos! Bet there are some videos on servicing on YouTube as well. If your bike is still under warranty, you might want to utilize your closest dealership… Mrs-HSV had a big problem resolved on her first BMW‘s 600mi service, but that was 12 years ago. Hope you’ll visit Redmond, OR next month - Enjoy! Ciao, HSV-Phil & HSV-Karen
