Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #2 I would guess it means how firmly the bike closes the throttle? On club runs I usually play tunes on the gearbox and use engine braking into bends. The brakes are there for emergency use and bringing me to a halt!! So it sounds the sort of add on that might suit me. I wonder if it can be retrofitted via a software upgrade? So 2021 will not herald the improvements that I would most like to see: Moving the SatNav holder to above the TFT A larger petrol tank - 20 litres - would be such an improvement. P.S. Does anybody do a fuel reserve for the RS much like that on the Pan European 1300 which I seem to recall was under the seat? So frustrating that I cannot make Portsmouth (245 miles) without refuelling. Setting out at 5:00 a.m. for an 11:00 a.m ferry to Spain it was comforting to know on the FJR that, if held up, I could board without refuelling. In fact both times I made Portsmouth without stopping and therefore plenty of time to refuel there. P.S. What is "Core Screen Sport"?

Keeps the rear wheel from locking, under the torque of deceleration; for instance on a wet road or if you are on the rear brake.

That probably explains why the RS is currently unavailable on the UK website configurator. I had saved a link to the Exclusive, which no longer works, as I wanted to refer to the official name of the paint on my Exclusive as I want to get some parts of my panniers painted to match, so will have to hope it comes back before too long.

Zitat von fred_jb im Beitrag #9 should be a sticker under the seat with the paint code - take a picture of it and present to the paintshop. |
Zitat von fred_jb im Beitrag #9 From my invoice, the name for the paint on the R1250RS Exclusive is Imperial Blue Metallic. @PlacidoD has a post from 3 July in which he also refers to having colour matched panniers; the BMW paint code identified seems to be A89. Google seems to support that. Hope that they can add the new 2021 modes to the electronics with an update...! |

Zitat von OlieL im Beitrag #12Zitat von fred_jb im Beitrag #9 Thanks, I found that too, so looks like that is the information the paintshop will need. Regarding software updates my dealer won't do these under warranty unless needed to fix a specific fault, so at best it would be chargeable, at worst not available for 2020 models. Fred |
