I know this thread is 3 years old but it’s bloody excellent!! Huge thanks indeed from someone who would otherwise have a few spare at the end of a rebuild.
Thanks a lot. I'll be doing this soon to the front of my 2018 BMW R1200GS so I can replace the plastic fuel hose quick-disconnect fittings with steel-coated brass ones. Your identifying every screw by drive size, length, and shouldered/nonshouldered is very helpful to me.
This has been massively helpful! Cheers, John
It’s an honour to have helped Bennett’s BikeSocial.
Hello steve , i have bought B6 ,T3, emblem ,D7pro ,soundbomb split and 2 hexezcan for my 1250 gs 2023 low chassis in your shop . I appreciate all your vidéo and that of Tiger bike too ( in French) .i am French , I leave in south of France . I try to do a vidéo too in French to help some guys witch be interested about install denali product Thanks a lot
Great video mate. I'm adding 2 cameras, and a CarPlay system. So no tank removal, but I had a feeling that the screws would be different sizes, etc. I suspect you will be spending the afternoon in my garage while I put all the bits back in place. Cheers!
Hi Steve, many respect and a big THANK YOU from The Netherlands. Since May this yeah I’m the happy owner of the R1250GS. Preparing the bike for winter (also earlier bikes) I dismantle as much as I can and clean wherever I can get too with a brush and cloth to remove all mud, sand and dust. Your video has helped me a lot in finding all the screws. Fill follow you and check all the vids that might come in handy. Again, THANK YOU!!!
Really interesting and many thanks for showing us whats involved in careful panel removal. So easy to bugger things up by brute force and ignorance so you've saved your viewers some hard earned cash me thinks! Nice easy to follow vid with great editing...
Hi Steve. You take the time to create such valuable videos, and based on the comments that you receive you may have gotten a feeling of how extremely valuable and helpful these videos are for someone like me, who is very interested in not just riding the bike, but also working on it or adding accessories. Without the content that you create, I would never dare to strip down my GS. So many many thanks, and I look forward to watching more videos from you. This is a great video! Safe riding.
A big thank you to Carole and Tom for their welcome and advice wen I came in your workshop to buy all the denali material .
I am so happy that I found this video of striping down the bike! Just what I needed for my coming projects this winter. Great work and well presented!
I've really enjoyed this and it's been extremely helpful on my teardown and upcoming installation of my D4 bundle I bought from A Bike Thing. I hope you'll update some of your links. I know the Innov K2 is no longer but you have some other Innov products that replace it.
Like the magnet on the wrist for impact tips. As I take screws off, I place in a numbered egg crate or two and line up the panels.
If only I'd seen this video 6 months ago!!! It would have saved a heap of frustration. Thank you so much. Next time it;s be easy. I best go looking for those nose cone grommets as I don't remember seeing them
It's like a real life Haynes manual.
Top work, love it...
Thx for the detailed video n no useles chitchat. Didnt want to break all this lil hidden plastic brackets. Great job, thx from the Alps
Such a good clip. I've pulled panels off my GS before and probably broken more stuff than I fixed. After watching this my confidence in taking the farings off has improved dramatically.
So I watched the GSA one just as a warm up then😂 VERY useful, thanks yet again Steve👍
Hey Steve, thank you so much for this very detailed video! Thanks mate!
Superb vid, it gave me the confidence to have a go at taking my gs apart by following your step by step guide. And I’ve now fitted my Denali lights, soundbomb and innov k2. Thanks a million!!
So glad i got a 1300 gs because it uses all the same screws.
Thank you for this very informative video. It has been a great help. Keep up the good work.
Further comment if I might. I took your advice and have stripped the bike down stopping at the side panels of the gas tank, which I will do tomorrow. Fairly straightforward following this video. I may decide to just lift the fuel tank rather than remove it as I am only running a pair of D3s (no additional lights, camera, or sound bomb) from the front. Thanks again. Very helpful.
Outstanding Video! Thanks from California...
Glad you enjoyed it!
That would have taken me way longer to figure out on my own. Special thanks for all the expert tips like removing the plastic panels by sliding rearward, or popping straight out, etc. Saving us lots of time and $ from making mistakes. Great work Steve.
Thank you so much, Steve ! Your videos are extremely valuabe !!!
Really appreciated this video and time taken to put this up on here
Fitting new Lone Rider Moto Armor so only taking beak and side panels off. Ended up with the dreaded 2 screws left. Used this video to identify where I’d missed them and which screw shouldered/unshouldered for which panel.
Superb tutorial! Thanks Steve
You saved my day, bro'! I rarely comment but I am so grateful to you I just miss for words. It's all easy when you know what is where and what to push/pull and when :) Thank you VERY MUCH! You are doing GREAT job. THANK YOU.
Excellent video a great help thanks Steve 👍
Outstanding help Steve . Cheers David from N. Ireland
Very informative Steve 🥸
Love your channel Steve!😊
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video Steve.... your channel has been a blessing...just got a new GS and have been doing all the work myself watching your videos :) Keep up the great work 😀 Love n Regards from Sikkim!!
Thank you so much for this, this was really helpful. Now all I need is a GS
Excellent, i will do this to install my Denali D2. Thank you
Great video!!! So helpful, thanks a lot!!!
Great video! Informative and comprehensive. Well done. Best!
Excellent, thank you.
Great job! Thank you.
Great video with really good info.. Thnak you..
A really useful video, thanks Steve...and a reminder of just how much was involved when you installed my kit :)
apart from the fact we didn't shoot the roof down 😂
Very useful. Thanks.
Fantastic video, very clear, very useful. Thank you for the good work 👏🏻🤘🏻
Thanks it’s really helpful
this is very good thanks. any idea of the torque on all those screw?
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
nice thanks
This is another excellent video of how to strip down a non-adventure GS, but I thought that I don't have to do all that to install a CanSmart, R3s and B6. I seem to recall a video by you of how to do that with minimal stripping down. Am I correct? I sure hope so. Please reply. Thanks.
Many thanks, save my life!
I had a thought overnight Steve. Would it be possible to list the part numbers for the top hat plastic rivet and the common torx bolts used in the section below the video on both this and the GSA vids so if anyone looses a screw or damages the rivet during installation they at least know what part they need to get or even make a seperate short vid if that was easier/better? If you were able to say where you got them from and the cost that would help too though appreciate that might not be possible for commercial reasons. Cheers Ade
Was just thinking exactly the same. Great video by the way!
Great video, awesome job. Just one question about the torque specs and loctite when rebuilding it: are they all the same? Where do we find the torque values? Thanks man you got yourself another happy subscriber here
Thank you, a very useful video
Hello. Thank you for this tutorial. It will happen happy, for a need to fix the nose of my GS. Since I need to repair it, which glue would you recommend to glue it back together (I got a small break) ? I'm asking, because on a previous bike, I've already used a glue which was totally ineffective. Thanks a lot in advance.
The up to date Haynes! Very informative but still needs courage to actually do!
💯
So, how do you keep track of all those screws and where they go? I'd end up with a bin full of bolts wondering where the heck they go back in.
Great video!
Awesome video and thank you. My question is can you install a denali cansmart and run the wires without removing the fuel tank?
Yes of course. Just not as neat
Hi! Im more concerened with the reinstallation. Have you ever had the tank panels shift or not line up properly? Every time i put them back on they are a slightly different shape and harder to put on. Thanks
hi steve , what is stock screw thread pitch of d side mirror and the small adapter below d side mirrow. i know both are M10 up n down n side mirror too but the thread pitch on those 3 section i mess up ..😊
Brilliant video, just got my identical GS 1250 like yours , busy fitting my SW Motech pannier brackets and one of the t40 screws that hold the back footrest just won’t come off . Looks like the head is now damaged as the t40 chipped its teeth 🙈 Any tips on removing the screw ? Easy out ? Just worried the easy out snaps and then I’m screwed.
By the way your videos make it look real easy.
i have the EXACT same issue , i cannot get the rear footrest Screws out ! is a hell !! , any solution found? needs heat ? need slight hammer tap??
Hi Steve, Great video. What is the lift you are using? tnx, Mac
Abba skylift. abikething.com/product/sky-lift/
Went ahead and tried this, the screws on the back package holder were mounted harder than hell and wouldn't budge, ended up stripping them inside the hole trying to get them out but couldn't, any idea as to where I can get replacement bolts and get the fucked ones out?
hello ! can i remove the part on 5:36 without removing the plastic which sits on top of the fuel tank ? thanks :D
Is that my new bike your taking apart 😉
I guess yours will be a 2021 model, yes?
Just finished fitting my can smart and INNOVV k5 wounded which wire would you recommend the yellow wire to fix to from my INNOVV k5 only fitting d4 the bike has lights on from when I got it there on switch mounted on the mirror
Please email us. I’m not fully understanding your question.
the 1250 and the 1200, are they pretty much the same "screw" wise ?? maybe a silly question, but good to know
Pretty much but there are a couple of differences. The 1200 use really tall shouldered screws on some of the panels.
This video, while useful, isn’t as useful as a printed guide. A document showing this same information could be printed and stored in the shop or on the bike making it immediately available when needed. You can appreciate that scrubbing thru a video on the side of the road or even in the shop is less than desirable. #justsayin
You talk like Mark Cavindish
Have you been a vino buddy? 😄
Sorry, Should of been on the vino!
Oh yeah!
