1200gs

Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a bind here. I'm travelling the UK with my mate for the next 2 weeks, currently in Cornwall and planning on crossing to Scotland. But I'm having an issue with my 2009 1200GS (probably my own doing 🫣). The front rubber boot between the engine and driveshaft housing...

Hi folks, looking for some advice on which BMW to buy if anyone has the time and inclination to share insight on models in the BMW family. To give you an idea of the type of (non) biker I am, I have had the same 1150GS from new in 2003 until it was nicked last night (only bike I've ever had)...

I have just appealed against a prosecution for the Ulez charge for a 2004 1200GS, and the charge has been dismissed. I had to send a copy of all the pages of the V5, as well as the Certificate of Conformity. I have also requested that the 1200 GS is registered as a compliant bike, and copied...

Hi all! Have a 2009 R1200GS done 25k miles, my dad started it up once the weather was warming up, started fine so left it to tick over to recharge the battery but he forgot to go back to it to turn it off. Once he realised it had ran out of fuel and then flatten the battery. Charged the battery...

Hi, All I am new here and this is my first post. The question(s) I have is relating to the rear ESA shock on a 2010 R1200GS. 1: Can a bad shock affect cornering? the reason I ask this I am new to the BMW GS style of bike and noticed a few times where the backend felt loose on a corner causing...

Hi Folks, I'm just about to take delivery of a 2013 1200GS (not an Adventure). I will be doing the Scotland NC500 again in June. I want to know if you can fit the BMW Aluminium Panniers to a non-Adventure 1200GS? I know I'll need frames - do the Adventure fit the non Adventure models? Any...

So went to the Vines open day at Newlands Corner. not a bad turn out given how shite the weather was. Have to say, the rallye looks just as bad in the flesh as the pictures. Not sure what they are trying to do with it. Then again it was slightly less hideous than a Green metallic R9T there, but...

Hi, I started the bike after a 3 month lay up, 1200GS 2007... Started 1st press ran her for 15 mins no problem. Took her for a test run, Brake failure on display and a front caliper was sticking, thourght I'll run her home and free the pad, as not too far. The bike cut out and won't start, is...

So I'm planning on getting back on a bike after a couple of years being overseas and want me a gs. What I don't know is whether I should go 800 or 1200, I'll be using it for commuting and weekend fun, sometimes 2up but normally solo. I like that older 1200s are nice and affordable and the idea...

My old 1200GS has been poorly (speedo/ABS issue). BMW very kindly gave me a loan bike while they're working on my workhorse. A brand new 800GS, with 200 miles on the clock. And you know what? I love it. I was thinking of getting a newer bike - and I can very easily see myself getting one. For...

Rode through torrential rain for a day on Tuesday. Since then the indicators have been activating themselves which is both dangerous and very annoying. It's generally the right one that comes on and I have to press the activation switch and then the cancel switch to get it to go off. Some...

My apologies if there is already the answer on here but here goes...... I want to fit a bigger screen to my WC 1200gs. I am looking at the ergo marathon, touratech and nippy Normans one. I am struggling to find dimensions for all three to see what might give the best protection. Does anyone...
