Isn't the K1200RS the "brick" engine? If so, they are totally different to the K1200/K1300 engines.
Correct rear brake use is scientifically proven to shorten stopping distances in EVERY road situation.

Depends if it’s the K1200RS from pre 2003, or the 05 - 07 K1200RS that’s like a K1200R with a bit more fairing. If it is the first one, it’s a definite no. The latter might fit physically, but there would be problems.

Even a K1200S engine into a K1300S bike would be a challenge - the ECU would have a different fuel map for starters. It migt run, but I don’t think it would be satisfactory.

If it helps, I have a K1300S engine going spare - price depends on which bits of it you need!

Ah!, you meant the K1200R Sport.

[geek]

The RS in K1200RS stands for - ‘Reisesport’ (travel sport)

The R of the K1200R Sport stands for -  'Roadster'

So a designation of RS is different to a designation of R Sport.

I always thought that RS stood for Rennsport.

It used to ...


The RS designation appeared for the first time at a 17-round series for production racers. On the 1939 R 51 RS, it stood for 'Rennsport' (race sport) with the 'SS' designation standing for Supersport. From 1976 the 'RS' description became known as 'Reisesport' (travel sport), and has since been joined by 'RT' (Reise-Tourer - travel tourer); 'LT' (Luxus-Tourer - luxury tourer); 'C' (Cruiser); 'CL' (Cruiser und Luxus - luxury cruiser); and 'GT' (Grand Tourisme).

The ECU can be reprogrammed at a dealer only the cost is 65euro. Only to work with an engine version in prpducrion after 07/2008. Older engines S AND R  model can work with their own ecu and zdf in the k1300s chassis with only a few limitations. The R Sport engine  is an older version the answer is no.
