Just picked up my 2021 last week. Updates were no need for the dongle for the Pro riding modes and installed Brembro brakes. The bike is amazing. The TFT takes a few mins getting use to but in reality you need to adjust very little while riding and the hot buttons are perfect for that.
I've tried the app which partners with the TFT, it's ok but really just turn by turn with some prompts unless I'm mistaken. Plus having the separate Nav display higher up within it's own space is nice. But truly I only use about 25% of the features if I had to guess, I really just bought it to fill the space of the cradle...
@@MotoBeemer Yep it worked. I have a 2023 model so was like, where is the red thing under the seat. Then figured out I didn't need it lol. I'm new to the GS world. Just hoping I'm able to take good care of my new bike. I do like it a lot and want it to last.
I had the Garmin on my 2017. Reasonably useless. And more expensive now than my Iphone 13 pro. When Apple adds the rumored satellite capabilities to Iphone 14 or 15, good night Garmin.

That's pretty much it, not too much need for deep settings adjustments while riding. The dealer has my Brembos and should be installed next week.
Thank you for explaining this screen. Mind boggling for me.
Really helpful getting a 21 GSA next week this will help no end thanks for making it , from here in the UK 👍👍
No problem Dale, appreciate it and hope you enjoy your new bike!
I just recieved my new 2023 R1250GSA a couple of months ago and I would gladly have piad extra for the option of having all old-school analog gages.
I don't understand why you don't like the TFT dash,it's brilliant,in my opinion
Great presentation, please next time try to show which buttons you’re pressing we need to guess
Hi love your way of talking good job
Just what I was looking for...last rode my 2010 GSA in 2016...taking delivery of a 2021 this month...I hope.
Awesome Steve, hope it arrives in time for some great riding.
Thanks a lot for your video on the TFT explanation very helpful ! I Subd.
Thanks much!
What is the blinking yellow triangle with the arrow encircling it? Right bottom screen under the ABS? what is that ?
I believe it's traction control / ABS, once you start the bike and start riding they go away.
Thank You!
Good info, nicely presented.
Thanks much
Why would anyone still use the Nav VI when you have the TFT display that works with the BMW Nav App on your phone????

HOW DO U GET DYNAMIC PRO? I HAVE A 2023 GS AND I cannot find it
At the 6 min mark I go over it, did it not work?

@@scotty2221 I made the same mistake too! It’s all good 👍🏼
So the 11.8v battery voltage on the TFT doesn't seem low to you? I have the same thing.
Never had an issue but thank you for pointing that out
Hi greetings from England. We dont use KMh here we use Miles same as you. 😅
Great video btw
Very nice!
Does BMW 1250gs have seat adjustment feature ?
It does: th-cam.com/video/Aamtxpj2ccE/w-d-xo.html
One more thing is the red line will change as the bike warms up
Brother how to on quick shifter in gs 1250
Still interested?
Yes
using a sharp knife as a pointer...😮
I cringed😂
How tunable is the suspension?
For an off the shelf bike, it's absolutely incredible.
Howdo you get small icon tft intop left corner , i cant find that on mine ? Thanks
You have to hold down the menu button I believe, it will toggle back and forth between TFT and NAV
The knife made me scared you'd scratch the screen!!! lol
Gotta be precise with the knife
Uk is also mph btw l🏴
Sir, we are miles not kilometres in England, the rest of the world kilometres but the UK, miles, thank you 👍
