So about three years ago I had to use your video to replace my spider bearings and boots so now 40 k miles later I have to do it again thanks for not deleting the video ( I dont know how to say WONDERFUL in Greek )
Excellent video. I have to replace the gearbox output shaft oil seal on my 2010 R1200GS and this is the perfect video as it shows what I need to remove to gain access, tools required and most importantly the tightening torque for all bolts. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
I just completed the installation of my rebuilt FD and I want to thank you for your video as it was my main source of instruction and information for my project. While I had the FD out, I replaced the boots, cleaned and repacked the swing arm bearing, grease the drive shaft splines, and just a general clean up. Thank you!!!
Many thanks for this excellent video. It enabled me to change my gearbox output shaft rubber boot on my 2005 (late 2004 model R1200GS) without any problems. The only special tool I needed was a slide hammer to remove the R/H side swinging arm spigot (as shown in your video). I made this up using a 30cm length of 6mm threaded rod and couple of large sockets. It worked perfectly. The only difference I found with my bike and your video was that the lower bevel box torx bolt was a T55 rather than a T50. Thanks once again. Graham
Mon message est parti avant d’avoir fini dans tous le cas merci pour cette super vidéo qui nous servira dans notre moto club Niçois plus de 100 adhérents dont une trentaine de BMISTES, merci
Sem frescuras, puro profissionalismo, demonstrando total conhecimento naquilo que faz. Parabéns. Infelizmente no Brazil temos pouquíssimos mecânicos dessa qualidade.
Your video is very well edited with excellent time compression and graphic overlays. I could envision the entire process after watching. Removing my swingarm went very smoothly because of it.
I live in Brazil, bought a BMW GS 1200 2013 and decided that I'll do the basic maintenance myself, unfortunately here in Brazil we have few mechanics who really do the work like you do, which is of extreme quality, I'm watching your videos and I'll do the services following you and your tips. Congrats on the videos and keep making more BMW repair videos.
Utterly brilliant video. I’ve had to take the FD off mine a few times (long story) but taking the shaft off is in my future to replace the front boot. I wish this guy was around the corner from me though. I don’t trust anyone but me to touch my bike but I reckon this guy would be sound. As has been mentioned before; Very happy that there is no music. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for your very professional video. i loved the way you included /Socket/Spanner/ and T drive sizes and the respective torque values on re-assembly..Using the methods shown i was able to change the front and rear rubber boots on my 2005 BMW R1200ST in an afternoon .Once again many thanks.
That's correct, I wanted to check the needle bearing in the final drive, lubricate it and replace the gasket ring. That's what I said in 4.30. I also preffered to dismantle it to deal with less weight when I checked swing arm's bearings. :-)
Though I commented a couple years ago, I am only now performing this task because my FD is failing and will be sending out for rebuild =D Since I had to remove the FD anyway, I am proceeding with removing the swing arm to replace the boot, inspect the shaft, and lubricate the pivots. This is still the best video I have found covering this process. One of the odd little details here...my bike is a 2006 model, and the upper shock mount is the reverse of this one! Bolt head on the right side instead of the left. You wonder why they changed it...maybe for assembly time reduction purposes is is better to have it on one particular side as it may save the technician a valuable minute.
Thanks Your video! I have got a 1150 R and I asked any info for gearbox shaft input service, but it was great!!! I have to change a leaking seal ring on the shaft input, by the same way. The screw drives torque informations were all important! Thank You!
Sir, you are awesome, if anyone rides a motorcycle this is what a rider should be able to do. I would have gone a few steps further, only because i was once a US Marine and shining stuff is what we're good at. See, i would have polished the exhaust pipe, washed everything with any dirt on it, roughed up the brake rotor, stuff like that. I'm 59 long retired from the US military and i still have to shine things up. But i get stuff dirty too, and i fall and brake shit too. Once again great work.
Great video, no annoying background music either. - very professional Exactly what I needed I only have a few comments: At 1:42 you forgot to show that there is another pivot pin on the left side that needs to be taken out before the FD can be removed. My 07 R1200RT uses a T-55 instead of a T-50 for the FD pivot screw at 1:27 At 7:58 the amount of fluid has been revised by BMW to 180ml (Not 200ml anymore) I wish I could read the banner at 4:23 To answer the question blow, the Nut at 2:27 is: Collar nut M24X1,25 BMW part # 33 17 2 335 11
Video molto ben fatto, riprese eccellenti, e poi la chicca della misura delle chiavi da utilizzare e e le coppie di serraggio dei vari bulloni...Complimenti Very well done video, excellent footage, and then the gem of the size of the wrenches to be used and the tightening torques of the various bolts... Congratulations
Νικόλα να σε καλά αγορίνα! Ευαγγέλιο το βιντεάκι σου! Οταν ειδικά διαβαζα για την στεγανοποιητικά τσιμουχα απο τεφλον ...ολα στο πιατο! Σε ευχαριστώ! Χαθήκαμε ρε φίλε...
Great Video, and I appreciate you showing all the Torque Values along with where to Grease. The whole Nine Yards. New Subscriber. I will be watching all of your Videos. Thanks again for Making them. 👍
Thanks a lot, excellent video. Why did you choose to remove the final drive? The swingarm can be taken off with the final drive in place. What does the text around 4:30 says?
Thanks for that. Only one question. Minute 5:15. After you pushed the shaft back to the gearbox. IS THAT LOOSE (clunk) NORMAL in the gearbox? Is that the spot where the clunky gear shift is coming from? Could somebody describe a little more about that loose in the gearbox. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for not putting music in the background. It's important to hear and see when doing this kind of thing. GREAT audio by the way

Great video. No nonsense or time-wasting. All the information in one place. Well done.
Most professional how it should be done video I have seen .
Neat work and no rubbish background music!
σας ευχαριστώ
nikanaughty can you translate or paraphrase why was written half way through the video??
I needed to replace the swingarm bearings on my R1200RT and found this video extremely helpful. Many thanks for your time in making this video.

Os que sabem, não mostram..

without a doubt the best video ive seen for changing the gaitor and dropping the drive shaft.....

This is the type of mechanic that I wish we could count on when we take our bikes in. Stellar!!!

A lot of extra effort has gone into this video thank you
Very well produced video and a professional job. Thanks.

Very detailed and guided video with all important info. Thanks for the great efforts!
Great tutorial, without any useless words. Thank you!
Great detailed step by step- Excellent work!
Congrats one of the better instruction movies.
Brillant as possible. This is knowledge and technics. Bravo!

...excellent, succinct and to the point - nicely done!
Επαγγελματικό video και επαγγελματική δουλειά. Απλά μπράβο σου !!!
The best drive shaft video and a most professionally executed job. Flawless!
Спасибо! Давно такого информативного видео не встречал
Fantastic video ….thanks …you make it look so easy !!!!
Great video, no annoying background music either. - very professional
Exactly what I needed
I only have a few comments:
At 1:42 you forgot to show that there is another pivot pin on the left side that needs to be taken out before the FD can be removed.
My 07 R1200RT uses a T-55 instead of a T-50 for the FD pivot screw at 1:27
At 7:58 the amount of fluid has been revised by BMW to 180ml (Not 200ml anymore)
I wish I could read the banner at 4:23
To answer the question blow, the Nut at 2:27 is: Collar nut M24X1,25 BMW part # 33 17 2 335 11
Thank you for that very good film which will be usefull when I need to do that job, JP

Very well done video, excellent footage, and then the gem of the size of the wrenches to be used and the tightening torques of the various bolts... Congratulations
Just the video I needed. Great video!

Thanks for the video. Excellent. One question: what kind of grease do you use to lubricate?
Excelent video. Congrats
Thanks a lot, excellent video. Why did you choose to remove the final drive? The swingarm can be taken off with the final drive in place. What does the text around 4:30 says?
tank you,man!
Thanks for that.

Bravo.Thank you!
Great video!
hello, thanks for your comments!!
Sorry, there's no english version.
I'm not sure if this is the same procedure in GS100
Super video, helpfull for 1200GS service
Thank you for the great video, well done good job
Fantastic. Thank you!
More videos should be made like this one. Maybe some comments would be good as far as some cautions.
