Grip heaters don't like the cold

Help! Here's an odd one: intermittent grip warmers on my 2010, 1200r. Nice and warm grips (high and low positions working) at 53 degrees outside. Next morning the dashboard thermometer blinking 35 degrees and no heat in either position. I turned the grip heaters off and then on, still no heat. I le...

First service question

I'm coming up on my first service and had a few questions.

1) what's involved in the service?
2) is it necessary that the dealership perform it or can I do it myself?
3) how much does it cost?

Thanks...

Re: 2011 models

Talked to my dealer today and he said he was unable to order any additional R1200R models. He said the new F800R might be a "replacement".

New member hello

Hi All-- I just traded my R1150R for a R1200R. Bought it new from the dealer here in Charleston, South Carolina. Absolutely love the R1200! It's arctic white with the on-board computer, side cases, ABS, windshield and a few other goodies. I had an R1100 before the 1150 so you can say I'm a big fan o...
