I took my 2016 RT it off the road for a few weeks and did a nook & cranny clean.
The only things effected by its 91000km was the engine paint and the brake calipers sticking a bit.
Paint sorted by BMW.
I had a couple of sticky front brake pistons a few months back so instead of servicing i managed to get almost new front calipers off a 18 GS from a big breakers in Italy. €220 delivered complete with the near new brake pads and brake hoses.
This time around I had a slightly sticky rear piston. The rear calipers on all the BMW's are the same 2 piston jobbies.
I popped out the offending piston and seals cleaned up the seating and put in a piston and seals from a low mileage 06 GS caliper. I had lying around.
I wanted to add spots and I had a pair of these:

Really high quality lights these.
I needed to make brackets so had a mooch around and found some CBX fairing stays that I dont use.
Fec, They are almost the same as the BMW brackets. I made up some ends and they were good to go.
