Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #27 I saw this post on the MOA forum from a member waiting on a fix for his leaking Hayes calipers. [Quote=Motor32]Today I received this response from BMW of NA about the brake issue. It's not much but interesting they're not saying who the supplier will be. [/quote] "We now have a remedy and are currently waiting for parts to arrive. Parts are anticipated to be available in early 2021. Again, our apologies for this unexpected inconvenience, and thank you for your continued patience, as the safety of our customers is of utmost importance to us. BMW will be moving to a new part and supplier for the front brake calipers." Lee |

In theory brake callipers are simple things, a container with fluid and pistons which get pushed onto a disk pad. All you have to do is control the push, keep the fluid from leaking and remove excess heat. |

Interesting posts...All the more reason for me to stick with my 2017 1200. Don't have a problem! How about you Bravo? |

Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #39Zitat von Bikepirate im Beitrag #35 They're all keepers until you see something else. Once you've started down the new bike / new car road, it won't go away. |

Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #41 You know, I feel much the same way. The only thing that'd sway me would be a 1250 RS and then I'd have to go about getting it all sorted like my 1200. And the 1200 vs 1250 thing really isn't a big enough difference day to day for me. In fact as I've said before the early 1200 engine feels better low down than the 1250 I tried did. I'm quite attached to my 1200 |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #42 Long may you remains so! Becoming detached save when the bike is stationary can be painful! Lightly used 1250RSs with Brembos I suspect will sell at a premium until we get some feedback on what replaces them. And there is still room for improvement in 2022: Back-lit controls 20 litre tank Different screen Smart(er) Cruise Control Chris 19 Plate R1250RS Exclusive with "bells & whistles" & full colour matched luggage |

I feel the same way. My early RS engine's performance suits me perfectly. The 1250 sounds like more power, torque and maybe smoother...all good. The new display seems to be better ...all small incremental improvements. Not enough to move me. |

Suspension wise I can't fault mine,as I ride mostly two up its perfect, it's well documented on here what I think about the looks and colours of the 1250.
