R1250rt coolant/overflow rubber pipe location

gebrauchtwagen83 · May 31, 2022

Hi folks
I noticed a rubber overflow pipe (believe to be coolant) located and resting on the top of the side stand area. It has become dislodged a couple of times and burnt onto the exhaust pipe. Can anyone confirm, is this pipe supposed to be located here or has the previous owner done a botch job?
Thanks in advance
Dan

I dont think there is an overflow for the coolant, but at that location is normally the breather/overflow from the petrol tank, on my model it's zip tied to the frame. On the R1100/R1200 they were always on the left hand side closest to the gear selector or at least on mine.

Why would they put a fuel tank overflow pipe right next to a potentially extremely hot exhaust :confused:

Here's the location of the two rubber pipes on my 21 R1250RT - they appear to be fairly secure in position, although I can't see what's holding them. One of them is almost certainly an overflow from the petrol tank filler surround. I don't know what the other one is. (Petrol will not auto-ignite on a hot exhaust, although it will vaporise pretty quickly)

Thanks for the reply everyone. Seems like it was in the right place. Checked a couple at my local dealer.
