    think i've fixed it, i had a spare rectifier of a vtr sp2 but i had to file some of the fins down as its a big fucker and it was touching my seat fairing and it would have melted it!! so i filed it down a bit,fitted it and still nothing would light up anyway it turned out it was a 30amp fuse that was NOT blown to look at any way i plugged it in my battery charger and it said it was faulty,so i changed it and hey presto as Dr Frankenstein shouted "its alive" and with the new rectifier my idiot lights are a lot brighter so hopefully all is now fine:)

    you wana try to solve the shit in the world of BMW with the RT tourer…costing the company Billions due to a problem with the electronic rear shock ..incredible at present ..having said that the customer service has been fantastic

    I assume the radiator is cracked, pipes are fine but Kseal failed after a few days. Next touring bike is going to be a Bmw F650GS, so i'll join the bandwagon of moaning about them in due time dont worry. At least they solved the issue instead of pretending it doesnt exist, cant say that for all companies! :thumbsup:

    theres a company that repairs rads! rather than quote for new……the BMW issue only relates to the new Watercooled RT no other models are effected…yeah they are working 24 7 to sort it out …good luck with the rad

    Quoted £45 for a repair and repaint, but they havent seen the rad yet and a new hornet rad is only £60, so it may be more economical to replace :unsure:
