gordiet Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I don’t see many posts concerning the 1250shift cam. That must mean they pretty good because no one is complaining. 2 Link to comment
Setmanrob Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Love my 2019 rt option 2 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That's a sweet shot of your Cam! Mind if it goes on the front page? Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I love my RT, but at the risk of offending the GS riders, I try to stifle my enthusiasm. Just sayin' 3 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 William, you've got a tastefully tweaked RT there, let that enthusiasm fly! Now just don't fly past me on a muddy dirt trail! 1 Link to comment

This time I went with the RS1250 (the yellow one on the opening page. So far so good. Love the motor.😁 1 Link to comment

Ya, I don't like my '19 1250GSA, the damn thing is just too smooth, along with that, the throttle response has no delay in it, just to quick. I know that many like to keep their bikes in the lower double digits, but this thing just keeps reaching the low triple digits....I'm not too fond of that either but it crawls up there a few times a week. At only 4600 miles since I got it, I've not had to do any maintenance, I prefer maintenance intensive bikes......it ensures that I tinker with the bits and pieces and have bits and pieces left over to put on the shelf for decorations. 2 1 Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Money will be spent on fuel, tires, and brakes! Oh yeah, an occasional oil change. YMMV. Definitely, vary. 1 Link to comment

strataj Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 RealOEM shows you can use the same plug as the Wethead https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/partxref?id=0A13-USA-02-2014-K52-BMW-R_1200_RT_0A03,_0A13_&mg=12&sg=12&diagId=12_1739&q=12128532942&series=K52 Beeemer Boneyard has a pair for $29 minus the MOA discount.

PadG Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 How about $11.86 each! Bought them from here twice now, for my '15 RT. https://www.ngk.com/product.aspx?zpid=29929 Link to comment

The site is there, but the product seems to be forever on back order. I think that I had found some at similar price on eBay. Link to comment

Also, the R1250 plugs are iridium, single electrode plugs and are of a different heat range. Those for the R1200s are cheaper, not iriduim, dual electrode plugs. Also, this forum is for "Shift-cam", you know, R1250s, not wet-head R1200s. I don't complain too much because there are only two plugs vs. the four on my former 2005 R1200RT Link to comment
PadG Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Good to know that Scott, since I am about to order a 1250 next week, and I do prefer iridium plugs. Link to comment
