99Roadster Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Looks like the repair manual will be available shortly as it's listed on the UK site. Unable to located it yet in the States. Here's the ISBN: 9781844255986 Link to comment
paulcbrowne Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I ordered mine direct from Haynes for $56.85 after the currency conversion. It arrived today, in less than a week. Although I have the BMW DVD, I can see that the manual is going to be my first choice. It's very well done in typical Haynes good from. I recommend it. Link to comment

tnmtnrider Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Paul, Would you have a direct link for the manual that you could post? I finally woke up and clicked on the UK site. Thanks guys, it's on its way, 7 to 14 working days delivery. We'll see. Link to comment

Paul - can you confirm what I've read elsewhere - that it doesn't include the R1200R? Link to comment
MickFinn Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Got mine yesterday from Nippy Normans. As already mentioned typical Haynes manual. Everything you will want to know about the RT and more. Link to comment
djbeer Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I order the manual a week age. it arrive today. It is a great manual. Dave Johnson 2007 R1200RT Link to comment
RoSPA_man Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I notice it covers up to 2006 - any fundmental things different on the 07 apart from brakes non-servo etc? Link to comment
Jon_M Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Paul - can you confirm what I've read elsewhere - that it doesn't include the R1200R? Is THIS the same one? If so, it's half the price. And Don, it does not seem to cover the R12R if you judge from the list of models on the cover. Seems odd. Link to comment
Nitrox Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Is THIS the same one? If so, it's half the price. I would say that is it... Same ISBN number as posted above. $24.46... How can I not order one? Now I have the triple play in repair, The CD, the DVD from VonBaden, and this. Guess I need to get some tools -J. Link to comment

sardineone Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 First test. Once you guys get your manuals, zoom to the throttle body sync and let us know if it adequately addresses the stepper motors in the procedure. Link to comment

Once you guys get your manuals, zoom to the throttle body sync and let us know if it adequately addresses the stepper motors in the procedure. It's Wednesday and I just got my Haynes in the mail.... Scanning through it, I can't even find the term "stepper motors" or anything that describes their function, though it may be in there somewhere.... The trottle sync section is the basic method with no mention of unplugging anything.......Guess they don't think we're smart enough to handle it "You can't handle the truth".....quote from ol'weird Jack.........

1analguy Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I haven't bought the BMW CD for the RT yet because it doesn't include the '07s, and I won't be buying the Haynes for the same reason... Link to comment
99Roadster Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 You probably will not see a manual specific to the '07 models. Same with the BMW CD. The only major differences are the changes in the braking system. Everything else would still be relevant. I think it be better to have some related reference rather than nothing at all.

Kitsap Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Phil, is it just me or does it appear the photos are smaller than in previous Haynes Manuals. As compared to my older R1100RT Haynes manual the pictures are either smaller or my eyes are just getting older. Link to comment

Bails Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Well this is my first post on this forum, but I've seen the K & N debate on just about all bike forums I've passed. The simple truth is, K & N will increase wear on the motor, for all the reasons given. More importantly if you happen to look at a K & N filter ,( don't ask me how I came to look at one),you'll notice less surface area, so the equation is pretty simple , to get more air through a smaller area you need larger holes, with less resistance. Larger holes allow larger grit and more grit. If the power increase is for more seat of the pants stuff then maybe buy a rice rocket for the acceleration thing, and keep the ST for the great handling performance. Link to comment
paulcbrowne Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 This is not intended to start a flame war, but this site really needs to get over complainin' and figure out answers!

Sometimes I'm sorry I sold my (handful for me) LT 'cause they had one of the best "help" web sites imagineable! We're a little too long on complaints and too little one sound advice on this site. ....shopping for a Miata! Quite and indictment for someone not wanting to start a "flame war". I suggest that you test the search function here and peruse some of the past threads in the technical forums. If you don't find a myriad of useful technical information you're just not looking. Having a discussion on the merits of products related to our bikes does not seem to me to be complaining. I'd much rather hear about the warts and all related to products for which I am a potential buyer. Hopefully this doesn't constitute a flame war. Link to comment
