2nd service of my BMW R 1250 RT: No issues with the motorcycle

I've been having some lower back pain while riding this bike so I got a pair of handlebar risers for the US.

BHPian VellVector recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Second Service

Took the bike in for its second service (one year) to JSP Mottarad. No issues with the bike - just that the one-year interval had come up.

Two extras on the bill - First maintenance of the drive shaft, I always get the shaft of the 1250s cleaned and greased at every service even though that isn't part of the required maintenance.

Second was the fitment of the handlebar risers. I've been having some lower back pain while riding this bike. After trying a lot of adjustments, I gave in and got risers. Ordered the risers from Illium Works in the US.

The risers match the OEM colour of the handlebars and are well-made. Have not yet had a chance to ride the bike for any significant distance with the risers but riding back from the service centre felt more comfortable.
