guest area » R1200RS Key Fob(s)

Hey all, I am thinking that in all likelyhood i will own a very low mileage '16 R1200RS in less than 48 hours. i am buying it from a bmw dealer. I am trying to understand whether One key fob goes with the bike as original equipment or two? Can you enlighten me here?

The bike has literally every imaginable option on it... it there anything specail i should ask for??

Help me out , please !

Hi
There is one key + an emergency "plastic" key.

Jim, good luck with the purchase. You have the answer on keys below. Other than that, given that the bike seems to have all the optional extras it’s hard to suggest anything you should ask for. Obviously it will be serviced and have a warranty as it’s coming from a BMW dealers.

Most owners like to relocate the Nav unit to above the clocks that’s easily done and a member on this forum sells them ( known as Fugly and his business is Motomate). Many of us like to protect the rear shock with a Mudsling and engine casing with an Avantguard, available from Nippy Normans,. There are plenty of other optional farkles but none of these are dealer options. Then there’s the whole world of ergonomic adjustments,, screens, footpegs etc. That reminds me, is the seat height correct for you, there are 4 height options, you may be able to get the dealer to swap the seat with another RS or R model ( interchangeable) in the show room to get the optimum height for you.

Enjoy the bike. Sounds like a good ‘un.

Some folk like high screens, some like low screens.

Some folk like high seats, some folk like low seats.

Some folk like high bars, some folk like low bars.

Some folk like high pegs, some folk like low pegs.

Some folk like high SatNavs, some folk like low SatNavs.

Some folk like tank bags, some don’t.

Some folk like huggers, some folk like that other shock absorber cover thing whatever it’s called.

Some folk like fender extenders, some don’t.


My bike came with 2 real keys.
And I just ordered a “cut key” online to give me a spare to open panniers, box, tank and seat if needed.




You can guess that you’ve got a lot of decisions to make

But you’ll get all the answers you ever needed on here. And some you don’t need.

Best of luck with that! Takes far longer than working out the RS is pretty good as it comes out of the factory. A period of acclimatisation is worthwhile before you start adding weight to it. Or removing it as is my preference!

Welcome, you’ve made a great choice.

As far as the plastic key is concerned, it’s in my top case in my tool bag. It’s only real use is if my fob is lost or doesn’t work, so having it is important.

Bikes should have a backup method to start the bike without the fob. PIN (Ducati and Indian)? Fingerprint reader?
