Very nice work on all the machining
Thank you very much! 👍🏻
Appreciate the detailed explanations. Also inspired me to do a tank bag modification for the rear of my RT. Sometimes the panniers are over-kill, and having a tank bag on back is a great idea.
Greetings to The Old Mechanic!
I have watched many of your tutorials, and they have helped me tremendously while rebuilding my R1200 GSA (crashed it in Aug 2021)
So thank you for you light hearted, funny yet super informative videos!
All I watched have deservedly received a thumbs up from me!
It was great to see this video with all the add-on's you have done to your 2010 R1200 GS!
Of particular interest, to me are the following, I expect you are happy with the quality and if you are, I am sure I will be! and I am hoping you might share the exact part to search for and where you bought them from please.
- The stainless bolts for the brakes, shocks & front engine cover (mine are corroded from standing outside) It was difficult to see in the video, are they Torx or allen (hex) key?
- The end bar weights with the throttle grip resistor
- Grip to assist for putting the bike on the main stand
- The wider mirrors (I in any case have a broken one that I would need to replace, but the wider vision sound like great and now a good time to upgrade
- Also the Strobe controller for the Brake light but that is already clear what to search for GS100a and already found it
Best regards

Old Mechanic, I too have a '12 R1200GS, so I thoroughly enjoyed your video, no, all your video's. Doing my own fluid service thanks to you. Love your set up and all the beautifully executed detailing. Ride safe
Thanks Brent
Im smiling, very nice work. Just bought me an 09 with 83k miles. Will be doing some fixup stuff as well. I had to laugh when you said "fluid" lights you meant flood lights. I've learned another language sort of and made some hilarious mistakes. I'm sure your English is better than my Russian. Keep up the good work.
Brake light modification seems lieke being in Thailand. Other Addons look very nice
Really Good Job on all the Accessories you added. Great Job on the Milling Machine also. Every little thing helps.👍
Werveling is turbulence. Even kijken, verdomme! Ik geniet van uw video’s. Ik woon in de VS en ik rij ook op BMW’s. R1200GS 2016.
Hoi David.. soms vergeet ik even dat de camera meeloopt.. Geniet van je BMW
Leuk om te zien. Ik heb net een week geleden een 2010 1200GS 30th Anniversary gekocht.
Top, houd mijn kanaal maar in de gaten want aan mijn eigen GS ga ik natuurlijk ook al mn onderhoud op mn TH-cam kanaal zetten.
@@TheOldMechanic Ga ik zeker doen; ik was zelf ook al bezig om wat filmpjes te maken maar helaas heb ik niet zo veel discipline :-)
Excellent. Very inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😉👍🏻👊🏻
Very nice setup! The parts you machined are just awesome! I bet you could make a little money offering them for sale. I do want to ask, did you also machine your cruise control/throttle lock system or purchase it? I would love to own that exact style. Thank you and ride easy
Hi Javon, thanks for your kind words. The throttle lock was from the brand: Throttlemeister I tried to find them online for you, but I couldn't find them anymore. I know that Wunderlich makes those throttle lock things too, perhaps give it a look. Greets from The Old Mechanic and ride save.
@@TheOldMechanic Howdy Old Mechanic.
How can I get one of the kickstand foot pads?
Great video very interesting thank you
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻👊🏻
Hi I learned a lot from your videos I just want to know how to adjust the front and rear shocks on my 2006 BMW R1200GS
Hi Old Mechanic ! J'ai acheté le "GS 100A" !!! c'est super !!!
Old Mechanic first of all congrats for the Channel. I buy recently one BMW R1200 GS, i liked change all the screws. Have some kit? What you suggest?
Thanks in advance
I bought them one by one, but I know that there complete kits, that more easy
@@TheOldMechanic Thank you my friend...
your welcome mate
Great setup! I know how you made the stop light flash (GS-100A). Thank you for that. But how did you do the front? You showed only the switch on the left handlebar. Do you need another module? Please let me know. Thank you again.
Hi Peter, its been a while since I made that, I do remember that it was not simple. I remember rewireing my side lights so that they where free from the chassis.. I am sure that I still have a drawing how I made it, I will see if I can find it. Greets from The Old Mechanic
Mooie upgrades hoor! Waar ik nieuwsgierig naar ben is hoe je boutjes hebt vervangen voor RVS boutjes. Kun je dat gewoon 1 voor 1 doen? Nog een vraag welke moet je hebben en waar kan je ze bestellen? Ik heb dezelfde GS en veel geleerd, echt leuk, dank daarvoor!
Another nice video! I would like to see how you added the brake light flasher into your system. I would like to add that to my 2009 R1200GS.
Hi Rick, Hmm Thats a good plan. I will make a video about how I connected that flashing unit to my Beemer. I can already asure you thats its soo easy mate.
Greetz from The Old Mechanic, ride save 👨🔧--->🏍
I would be also very interested to see how you did the wiring with the GS-100A. I connected this flashing unit on my 2012 K25 R1200GS (same as yours) and it flash twice and than shuts the brake light off without any CamBus alarms ? I need to close the ignition key to unfreeze the brake light.
@@gaetantrudel8963 If you have a incandescence lightbulb the flash module doesn't work properly..It only works with a LED brake light.
@@gaetantrudel8963 Hi Gaetan, do you have also a LED brake light like me ?
@@TheOldMechanic yes, my break light are LED same as yours my GS is 2012. From the 3 wires connector on the back light (light, brake & GRD) I connected the GS-100A trough the GRD feeds and the break wire. Unfortunately, it only flash twice, then shut the brake light off until I off/On the bike ignition ?
Hee wat leuk om te zien, heb zelf ook diverse aanpassingen zelf gemaakt aan m'n GS 1200. Hoe werkt het knipperen van de wunderlich microflooters? Gebruik je hiervoor ook een Aliexpress module oid?
Sir may I ask where you purchased the Stainless steel Torx bolts please.
Hi, were did you purchase the barhands with the gasfunction.
Lovely gs. Would you be interested in taking orders for simple milling work?
Top vid mate,how easy was it to fit the spots,and the alarm ??
Is your bike a SOHC or a DOHC ,just being nosey really mines a SOHC same year tho
Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Mine is a DOHC. The GS has this special accessories connector, so you can attach electrical 'stuff' on the bike, but with side lights
I used a relay.
@@TheOldMechanic Is that on all GS or did you fit it yourself,if its on all,where is it please ;-)
Hoi, leuke video met goede tips.
Ik zoek voor mijn fabrieksverlaagde GS van 2011 ook een zijstandaard verhoger. heb exact het zelfde voetje als jij hebt. Hoorde in de film dat jij hem zelf op gemaakt had. Ben zelf niet onhandig maar zit zeker niet in de metaal sfeer waar ik iets dergelijk zelf zou kunnen gieten. Daarom de vraag kan ik een dergelijke verhoger bij je kopen? Ik heb zeker 2cm nodig maar mogelijk is 3cm nog beter.

Very VERY nice video and information. T-up and subscribed. I had a 2007 R1200GS. Had to sell due to life situation. I want another bike. I am VERY VERY torn between a air /oil cooled cam-head and the ( 2014) LC GS. Reading on ADV-Rider, seems like the Alternator Stator on bikes made before 2015 go bad. This is a 2 to 4 week wait and approximately $2,500 bucks! OUCH !!! Would you consider getting a newer GS that is liquid ( water) cooled. I rode both and the LC seems so refined. It was like motorcycles from 2 different companies... is the best way I describe what I experienced. I love...LOVED the LCGS. But the thought of a stator failure is overwhelming. Maybe I am looking at it the wrong way. HELP!!!
Could you confirm the engine is oil cooled? I thought they were air-cooled ?
These are oil and aircooled. The oilcooler is just under the headlight 😉
Hallo old mechanic, kan je aangeven waar je de cruis control hebt gekocht ? Ik ben al een tijd op zoek naar een dergelijk systeem voor mijn Beemer gs van 2011. Alvast bedankt 🤪😉
Hoi Rinus, sorry maar ik weet niet meer waar ik die precies vandaan gehaald heb. Misschien dat Google search je wel kan helpen
@@TheOldMechanic oké bedankt 🤪
Waar heeft u de cruisecontrol gekocht als ik het vragen mag?
Ik heb die al zo lang dat ik het niet meer weet. Sorry man. 👍🏻👊🏻
@@TheOldMechanic geen probleem hoor, wel mooie oplossing en je motor ook !!!
Dear Mr. The Old Mechanic. I'm following your channel for a while. First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dinko and I'm the owner of BMW R1200 GS, model 2004.
I have one issue with my GS, that I would like to share with you, and maybe you could help me with some advice. Unfortunately, I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we really do not have good enough mechanics, only one in the whole state, and he is too far from me.
I have some kind of rattling noise problem, but not the clutch rattling noise. This kind of noise, when I ride, I hear from center of the engine. It's like 2 metals kick to each other, but only and exclusively when accelerating. When I accelerate gently, I cannot hear it. When I'm pushing the throttle while in neutral, I cannot hear it. When I'm accelerating through gears when the bike is on central stand, I cannot hear it also. When riding, the kicking sound is higher when I'm on lower RPM. Firstly, I thought it could be the flying bearings on the crankshaft. But When I talked to one mechanic that is good, but not good enough for BMW engines, he told me that the flying bearings could not be the problem, because, then the bearings start to hear and kick, the engine would be dead in a few kilometers.
I'm riding my GS with this sound for over 1000 kilometers. So, the mechanic told me that the problem is most likely somewhere in the transmission system, between the clutch and cardan. But it's really confusing, because the sound, when I ride, comes somehow from center of the engine.
I already had done the valve clearance check and throttle synchronization. Changed the oil (20W-50), oil filter and air filter.
The turn of the flywheel in gear, when raised on the center stander, is approximately between 2-2.5 inches.
I have uploaded on my channel a short video where, at the end of video, that sound you can hear. like ticking two metals: th-cam.com/users/shortsCgL6nks1YeI
If there is any experience with this same or similar problem, I would be very thankful if you could share it with me and give me some advice, where to start.
Thank you in advance.
Greeting from Bosnia.
Dinko
