Nice video, cheers for that. Question though… does it charge the phone fast enough, or does your battery percentage drop at all whilst using your mobile for navigation? Ta.

Enjoyed the video David! Keep 'em coming, Regards from Melbourne Australia 🙂

Thank you for posting this video 🙏🏻 My D7 Pro kit (including, cansmart, B6 rear light and Soundbomb) are arriving in the post today and I cant wait. Sadly, i am flying out to France for a week this afternoon but looking forward to getting them fitted to my R1250GSA upon my return to U.K. I was watching Steve's "A BIKE THING" video suggesting that this could all be run off of 3 circuits. Both spots (upper and lower 4 LED's) off of one circuit and the other two circuits able to power the DRL and run them in unison with the indicators. This'll be the first time i've used a cansmart so is going to be a steep learning curve. I, too bought a pair of the Hex extension leads (150cm in length), One end is a single FEMALE 3 pin connector So with all the above, if i can get it to run off of 3 circuits (not sure i can with the AMPAGE levels, 9Amp each light) then this will in theory leave me one circuit remaing for the B6 rear light. The soundbomb will have to wait until i buy a second cansmart i guess. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience of installing the kit onto your bike. Kind regards, Damian

You always undo the filler screw first

brilliant-thanks!

I need some sponsorship from Powerade zero in my “cup holder”!

Is that a bloody cup holder???

Thanks but that is one funny looking light, It's popular on RnineT also. I'm running the OEM H4 on mine that I'm dealing back to a yellow bulb, I'm sick of being blinded by oncoming LED lights tbh

Nice beautiful ride on super giant bikes lol they're huge! Be careful!

The roads out there are beautiful. I gotta visit someday haha. Great video!

That is exactly what happened to us when we were in the Blue Ridge Mts. GPS took up the ridge and down it onto some back country road where the locals were flying Confederate flags. Scary. Good weather to you. How are you liking the BMW? I'm thinking about getting one of those or maybe the Tiger 900

Nice riding on the Blue Ridge and nice town at the end. What tires are you running - I start to hear road noise at around 20 mph in the video. My Bridgestone Battlax A41s are loud. Or at least the front tire is coming up through the tunnel.

Thanks for this! Been wanting to do my own servicing on my R1250GS!

Thanks a million great video. Just bought a R1250GSA and this is a great help 👍

the oil plug must been 42nm not 20nm

Thank you David 🙏 I was so worried that enduro is gone

Been there. Sadly Maxwell's house is no longer there. Just a memorial to the otters.

Thanks for sharing the maintenance info with us. I really appreciated the care with which you underwent the maintenance. However, you did not clean the old oil from the drain or the filter areas and did not open the fill cap to facilitate draining. Is there a reason you elt it not needed?

Bravissimo....eccellente....grazie!

Just one tip when changing the oil filter cassette, always fill it with brand new oil almost up to the top, it won´t spill any of it when puting it back in place, helping the oil pump do his job properly. Regards from Argentina.

Any issue in phone's lenses / cameras due to vibration?

Was that your first rear drive oil change? The US bikes are filled with a moly based oil that's solid black and yours looked really clear. Great video.

Hello David, from The Netherlands, thank you so much for this educating video! I’ve subscribed to your channel. Since May this year I own my bike-dream, a R1250GS year 2021. I still have a 2 year BMW factory/dealership warranty so no need to do the service myself, for now. I have 2 questions from which I hope you are willing to help me with. 1) what are the Nm (torque) settings for all the bolts/screws? (all the bolts and screws on the bike would be very appreciated 😬) 2) how do I reset/remove (step by step) the message that service is overdue? Many thanks in advance. Warm regards, Peter

Loved the video, especially "nano meters"!😂

Looks like fun - I may need to give it a try next year.

Nice hike through the park. I was impressed by my trip to the New River Gorge in WV this year. No hiking that day, but a great ride through and visitor’s center.

Incredible difference between the old plate and the new. Looks very heavy. Is the rear mounting plate held on by only the hose clamps?

Great video mate! Regards from Melbourne Australia 🙂

Is the horn just plug in & play with the existing gsa wires David

Looks simple enough. Do you also have their GS911 tool?

Hi! Does the adapter protect your phone from vibration?

Hi David. I've just came across your video as i purchased a GS last month (older model). Great video and very informative and helpful. Im thinking of doing the same on my bike and just plucking up the courage by watching a few videos. Keep up the great work and videos. New subscriber here.👍🏻

A great you tube video i enjoyed the shared email, i love sarcasm and it showed it to perfection. I would've sent them back a picture of it on a cushion with the words just received this from royal mail it as taken rhe chap a full day to get up the path as it keep failing of the cushion on to the concrete path 😂👍🏻😎

For a 50/50 tire, the rear looks like it has a good bit of rubber for pavement riding. I will keep this tire in mind when it's time to change out my Battlax A41s.

I mounted my iphone 14 ProMax on a QuadLock with a vibration mount.. The problem is its not bright enough, and so is unusable on even cloudy days. I will try a shroud or sun visor, but may buckle and buy a Nav 6 or Zumo xt.

Good day sir, I own a GS 1250 2022. I watched 3 videos on youtube and they all have a different torque for the engine oil drain bolt. You say 20 Nm and the two others say 32 & 42 Nm. What is the correct setting…where can I have the specs from BMW? Thanks, Marc Quebec Canada 🇨🇦😉🏍

Great video . Well done. From 2021 they come with a 5 year warranty. Not being serviced by BMW would this not void that warranty. Thx again for a insightful video.

Your dealer recommended Liquid Moly because their margins are higher on it vs the BMW oil. No way BMW is telling dealers not to use the BMW oil. That’s an insane lie you’re being fed.

Andrews looks like a nice little town. I’ve read that nearby Franklin and Highlands are as well. Nice forest road at the end 👍

Nice video, keep doing it… love from Australia

Great ride - the paved roads remind me of my trip to West Virginia this May. I didn’t get to ride any awesome forest roads like this though - I need to head out that way. I’ve got the same GSA as you, down to the Lone Rider headlight guard 👍

With the oil drained and the filter off I always crank it over for 5 to 10 seconds to get all the old oil out of the oil pump. Doing that will yield at least another half a cup.

BMW would have to trade on the bike because it's missed a BMW service stamp

Hi David, thank you for the video. I searched for the GS911 online and there are two models. Do you recommend the Wi-Fi or the Bluetooth version?

Thanks for the great video sir

Does anyone know how to get a service manual? I have a 2023

Great video, thank's for posting. Can I ask: is there any risk, when doing the front splines, of levering back the shaft too far and popping it of them?

Nice trick with the cable tie for the rear!!!

Not great to have such low confidence in your new expensive bike that you have to check the ds splines yourself....... ( from a GS rider also)
