Good day together, Andzwar my double R shows the error Lamp(sometimes Lampf) for a time. There I would have to check the fuse and possibly change a bulb. My question is, however, whether it can be that with this lamp error, my horn does not work? I searched a lot, but only read that it is the left amatur/control switch. I had already changed a new horn, still no function. Since someone has perhaps had experiences with ? The control switch as a whole costs 180-300€. Hope this is also a bit cheaper Thanks in advance Daniel

Hello, I have taken over an official BMW R1200RT, unfortunately I did not get any service history and there are no documents anymore. In the service booklet only the takeover service is included. Does someone have a possibility to check on the FIN in the BMW AOS, whether there is a service history? I stand at 62tkm and do not know which maintenance I should ideally order (60tkm would be e.g. extensive wg. slide chain change etc). I would be very pleased about help, would like also P N! Dear greeting Ole

Hello in the round… I bought a RT 1200 RT from 2009. Navi mount for my Tomtom is already mounted above the speedometer in front of the windshield. Now the power supply still has to come. Of course I don’t want to have the mount permanently under power, but only when the motorcycle is on. Where can I turn off power in the front area??? My idea would be at the dipped beam, as this is only on when the engine is running. Or do you have any other ideas???? Thank you and greetings

Hello all, I would like to retrofit a two-part and two-stage seat heater at my K 1100 LT. I had thought that I would install two toggle switches like it is for the handle heating in the front panel in order to be able to operate the seat heaters. I am not sure if I have to switch between a relay and how to secure everything. Maybe someone also has experience with seat heaters and may also be able to tell me which manufacturers provide good quality.

For BMW Automobile there is a charger, which has so far been advertised with the tenor “also suitable for BMW Motorcycles”. It is the device with the part number 61432411592. My inquiry at BMW Motorrad showed that you did not know about the product there. I could not answer the question about the compatibility with the CAN bus of the BMW Motorcycles. You don’t want to test this device, because you have your own device in the program, which is also suitable for charging the car battery It would take longer, but it would be possible. For charging its car, the customer supporter added a second device that is very similar to the BMW device. So I (frustrated) bought the above battery charger and tested it at the board socket of the C Evolution. The charging worked. How long the device will support BMW motorcycles with adapter cable with CAN bus, I don’t know. I keep it because it convinced me and that’s what I’ve been doing since J My conclusion: BMW Automobile has understood the wishes of its customers, who have car and motorcycle, and in my opinion well implemented. BMW Motorrad has shown me with the attitude that customer wishes and uniform corporate thinking behind profit thinking. If you want to load both types of vehicle, you should take a look at the car charger. Rifle, that it works safely in every configuration and also in the future does its service at the board socket, I can’t take over.

Hello BMW municipality, at this year’s oil change (20 km warm driven, oil filter unscrewed) the waste oil did not run off. I then ran the engine very briefly and the oil came out with quite a pressure. New filter screwed in, 3.8 liters of oil filled – the oil level is clearly visible on the glass. Engine started, the oil level sank very quickly in the glass and was not readable even after 1/2 hours of standstill. Of course, I don’t dare to move the mopped anymore without causing a capital damage. Something like that hasn’t happened to me in my entire screwdriver life. I’ve been changing oil for over 50 years with all my cars and motorcycles. The waste oil has always run unreservedly. Has any of you ever experienced similar things or can make a rhyme? I’m looking forward to every well-intentioned hint and I’m curious if anyone has ever told me something like that. Greetings Gerd.

Good day together! I keep myself short. Original thought: Husqvarna 701. However, I would have to save for the nice part this year and after 8 years of possession of a driver’s license without a motorcycle, I would still like to “try out” this year. I discovered the above BMW, short basic data: – approx. 9800km – Built 2007 – Checkbook maintained (completely by BMW) – with ABS – 4400 € (private provider) Apart from a Supermoto I would at the same price a Kawasaki Versys 650 Bj. 2014 with only 14tkm. Is someone familiar with the BMW, what you should pay attention to. I actually hate to buy from a private provider but with service booklet gives me a little better feeling. What do you mean? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, my father has a R1150R which has not been moved for longer and the clutch can now suddenly be pressed without resistance and does not open any more. Before everything went still great. I would like to refill it and vent it and look for a guide. Since I am a mechanic the necessary ability should be available. How is BMW the exact procedure and which oil is recommended? VG and many thanks

Is there any other biker with such a problem? BMW F 750 GS First registration: 11 July 2018 Approval on 30 August 2018 Kilometer level: 57,000 km Waited according to regulations. On 25 May 2024 during a Corsican trip: try to start in the morning. Strong metallic blow in the engine. Engine defective. On 19 July 2024: inspection of the engine at my BMW dealer. Diagnosis: Total damage, the control chain tensioner was broken. Valves broken and piston damaged. The dealer classifies the damage as unv The dealer has made a Kulanzan search at BMW. BMW offers 20% discount on one of the spare parts. The remaining costs of € 7000,- up to 8,000,- for the replacement or new engine are not financially viable.

Hello together I have to replace my K1200RS next year with a K1300S. Now I wanted to know how you are satisfied with it: how you can cope with the new switches but also generally p.s. what do you think of the color LavaOrange (I find it zimlich horny especially in the sun) below still a picture of my “old” many thanks already
