R1200rt Reliability

Hello all,

 

Im a long time 1150 oilhead owner and there's a big possibility my 04 rockster will be sold this week. I've found some good deals on r1200rt's. I'm looking at an 08 model specifically. My questions are this:

1) Are there any mechanical bugs to look out for?

2) Are hexhead maintenance procedures similar to the 1150 oil head?

3) What years were best for the hex heads?

Morning eliastfk93

 

My questions are this:

 

1) Are there any mechanical bugs to look out for?---A few common bugs on all models, some bugs are just on the early 1200RT's but for the most part they are a decent bike.

 

2) Are hexhead maintenance procedures similar to the 1150 oil head?--- Yes, similar but there are differences is some areas. Also depends on year of 1200RT that you are working on. Biggest change is the integrated electronics on the 1200 bikes.

 

3) What years were best for the hex heads?--- The later the better as there were changes & updates to the hexhead 1200RT throughout the production run with the late 2008-2009 1200RT's usually being the best.
