Hi
I�ve just joined and am the proud owner of a R1250RS, black with bells and whistles, trying to get my head around all the tech. I had a K in the 90�s until I....
...
Anyhow since then ridden Hondas (except for the Enfield I shipped back after 6 months in India) for the last decade.
I�m in the process of retirement (MHO status - 55yr) and keen to learn how BMW have moved on since my last experience

In particular, anyone know how to get up lean angle on a the bike?

Lean angle on a 1250RS. Use the BMW connected app and it�ll give you the info.

Thank you for replying. I appreciate that at least.
Honestly, not as helpful or definitive as I had hoped. Maybe it�s my first time with a forum so please forgive me for being spikey.
One thread showing the need for the Nav with laments about an absence from the RS and the other signposting My Connected, like you think I haven�t tried that

(Plainly spoken - like all my wife's relatives from the East End.)

Reminder: Anwers can only be a definitive and helpful as the question. If you have a specific problem and a history of attempts at diagnosis and trial of solutions, then you should lay those out. You'll find plenty of engineers, mechanics, and IT professionals on the forum will jump in for specific issues. Yours sounded like a general question about the TFT or NAV connection.

Hello @Saw - welcome to the forum.

I think you have had helpful answers to the question. BMW does not like to make things easy, or cheap, and it is often the case that a feature on the bike is only available if you make an additional purchase such as a £600 Navigator.

This introduction section is just for that, really. We are a gentle bunch here, mostly. On some forums you may have had people suggesting you take your question to the relevant section but on here, you had a couple of answers within a few hours.

Please take a chill pill and read a few threads to get the forum vibe. Each forum is different and sometimes you need a thick skin. This one is more laid back than most. Enjoy the bike, as much as you can in the current milieu.

Ok, I�ll give it another try. (Although I�m blowed if I know why)
The RS does not have the facility to display the lean angle on the TFT. The R does have this via, I believe a sport screen.
If you want to look back and see what lean angle you have achieved on a ride, the Connected app can help.

If you review your ride on the app there is a symbol like a speedometer (round with needle in middle). If you select that you will be able to see a map of your route and supporting data. One of which is the lean angle.

The max lean angle is the figure shown around the circle marked in degrees, left and right. With your greatest lean angle stated on each side.

If you click the play button (little arrow, like on a tape machine) you can play back your ride and the moving picture will show you on a map (picture of roads) where you have been, how fast you have travelled (if you have switched that bit on) what your acceleration (speeding up) and deceleration (slowing down) rates have been.
I hope that this more thorough explanation is more up the standard you expect and I apologise for not making myself clear the first time.
Here is a picture which may also suit your learning style.

Respectfully,

Oscar.

Well Oscar, I appreciate the didactic.

Did anyone have luck with a scanning tool or a dealership computer?
