2011 1200RT Manual

Recommended Posts

I rcently acquired a 2011 BMW 1200RT.

I could use a manual one for all the functions,displays switches, adjustments, tires, etc   Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Also,  when I was searching to try to find a manual I kept seeing R 1200RT. Is this truly a  R then 1200RT?    I don't see anything that indicates as such.

 

If you have any very important key things to recognize please let me know. 

 

Thanks

Yes, you really have a R1200RT.   The first R indicates the boxer engine,  and the number is the nominal displacement (actually 1170cc). The RT suffix indicates the touring model. GS is the dirt-street model, R is the naked bike, RS is a bit sportier.

 

In some contexts, your bike is also classified as a series K26, model 0440. 

 

It is also unofficially known as a Camhead, to distinguish it from the earlier Hexhead engines, and the later Wetheads and Shiftheads.
