- BMW R1250-GS/A and S1000-RR / S1000-XR & S1000-R Weiser Wizard Plug & Play modules from Weiser-Technik.

If you own a 2021, 2022 & 2023 BMW R1250GS/A (& 2024 GSA) with Multifunction indicators, you can now buy a simple and easy to install modules that greatly improves the function of the standard original BMW front and rear indicators.

What a first class video. I fitted the the modules today to sort out the appalling mess that BMW has made of the turn signals on my new R1250GS, returning them to way they worked on my previous one. Friends have already cheered as they are fed up with not being able to tell which way I was turning, especially when also braking.
Carl's very clear instructions made it just so straight forward and I love the hack about pushing the bolts through holes in cardboard to ensure they go back in the correct place - so much better than my previous method of placing things carefully in order on the floor!
Great product and great instructions from Carl.
Hi Sally, thank you for your kind words, and I’m delighted to hear you are pleased with your new indicators, they are SO… much better than OEM.
Have a great weekend
Carl
Thank you Carl, rear set installed. Without your video it would have been a nightmare.
Hello Benoit, good morning and thank you for your message, I’m pleased to hear you have successfully installed them on the rear, well done 👍
Have a great weekend
Carl
Thanks Carl, as always very comprehensive.
Having watched this I took off the rack and cover only to realise I could have fitted the multifunction modules by just removing the seat. I didnt need the module for the centre brake day time run light as I had already coded it to be on. I was able to code the multifunction with a GS911 to be indicators only, or marker lights and indicators without the brake light function however you can't code them to do what the Weiser module do. You can also switch off the front orange marker lights.
Gave me a good excuse to give everything a thorough clean as it's amazing how much crud gets in there.
You have done a lot of good marketing for Weiser.
Hi Stuart, good to hear you have been successful and you made good use of the GS911 unit 👍. Thank you for your feedback and that the video was helpful.
Now it’s clean we just have wait for some better weather 🌦️
Best wishes Carl
Thank you Carl,
for your clear and very helpful guidence instruction regarding the Weiser Wizard Modul. With you guidence I find it very easy to install this Wizard Modul for the front and rear light indicator of my BMW R 1250GS!
Best regards, Uwe.
Hallo Uwe, danke 🙏
Glad you found the guide helpful for the installation, I hope you enjoy your new visibility on your R1250GS
LG Carl - Hessen
Thanks Carl for the detailed video - this enabled me as an amateur to complete front and back fitments 👍
Excellent news, glad the installation guide was helpful and you have successfully installed your Weiser-Tech indicators 👍
Thank you for letting me know, much appreciated 🙋🏻♂️
Hi Carl, after watching your vid, I ordered a set and fitted them today. Really happy with the results. Even got discount using the method you described. Keep up the good work, good clear videos that are well presented, informative, and explanations are clear.
Thank you 🙏 and well done for your installation 👍
They do look much better
Carl
Excellent and helpful video. Thank you!💯🙏🥰
You are very welcome 🙏
Very helpful video. I have purchased the front set after watching your previous video. Many thanks.
Thank you 🙏
Have fun with your new setup
Carl
Very much appreciated Carl, all fitted now, the full dongle kit to my 2023 Triple Black Ultimate.. i was a bit shocked to learn that thevrear tail light was turned off apart from brake function. My indicators are now much clearer with this kit and hopefully much safer.
Hi Billy, great news, glad you had a productive Sunday and your happy with the modules.
I was quite shocked to see on the new 1300GS they have completely removed the rear light!!!
Best wishes Carl
Great video again - lovely clear instructions. Will certainly be looking to upgrade my lights asap. Thanks 🙏
Hi Simon, thank you for your feedback 🙏
Best GS content on RUclips. Thanks
Hi Jeremy, thank you 🙏
Thanks for the great video. You never stop to amaze me with your clear and precise videos!
About Tüv.....I have been dealing with them and the German regulations too. The Germans don't joke about the rules for vehicles....if it is "Tüv sagt nein", they really mean no!
I guess the guy that writes the rules probably doesn't ride a Motorrad...lol
Fantastic video 🙏
Thank you Ben 🙏 🙋🏻♂️
Thank you for another excellent video, with clear and detailed instructions that an idiot (that's me!) can follow. I have ordered my Wizards from Weiser and will get it all fitted asap. I think this will make my signals unambiguous to other road users and therefore, safer for everyone. Thanks again.
Hi Richard, thank you 🙏 and enjoy your new indicator clarity.
Have a great weekend
Carl
Another great video Carl just ordered them for the rear for the GSA.
Hi Andy, thank you 🙏
They are real easy to install, have fun on your GSA Triple Black 😉
Carl
Great video
👍🙏
Great hint with the cardboard!
Hi Jaro, thank you 🙏
Not sure how I missed this video. Another great how to Carl. I've finally fitted the "premium" solution with the run on module on my bike over the weekend after I had them sitting around for 6 months or more. Watched your video while doing the install and it was a breeze to complete. Absolutely love the brighter turn signals and the white DRLs add quite a bit of light at night as well off to the sides. My bike is a Japanese '21 GSA and I'll have to do some testing when I install the Denali SoundBomb, but the rear indicators don't change brightness when braking. They seem to be full bright all the time. I wired everything according to the instructions and your video so I'm sure that's all correct. I should have checked before I pulled the OEM off but I'm pretty sure they acted only as marker lights as well. Easy enough to verify by hooking the OEM signals up when I've got the bike apart to check. Which would help explain why nobody had any issues telling if I was braking or if my turn signals were on. I'll see what the Japanese inspectors think this April when I have to get my bike inspected for JCI, hopefully their cool with the change. Your videos are a great asset for us DIYers. Clear, concise, and you show every step as best you can. Thank you. There is another RUclipsr, A Bike Thing, he has a shop in the UK and he and a friend of his developed a very nice headlight guard that looks OEM called the AMMO Guard. It's hard to tell there's anything different from stock. Might want to look into it, I know the Polizei in Germany can be sticklers about things after living there for 3 and half years.
Hi Correy, good morning
Congratulations on your installation but I would double check your connection just to make sure and ensure the fuse is back in the holder.
I don’t know if the Japanese bike is a Global bike or a North American bike, but the wiring is different in terms of installation between both types to get everything working correctly.
You can view both wiring diagrams on the Weiser-Tech web site
Let me know
Carl
One word Carl: hallelujah! I can finally sort both of my BMWs! The rear kit for the XR may be even more useful as I’ve been repeatedly told by mates following me that they cannot see my rear indicators at all!
Hello, yes it’s an easy fix and plug and play, makes a big difference on the rear on the R series bikes.
Have fun with your installation 👍
Enjoy your Sunday
Carl
Hi Carl, installed front and rear on the GS, very easy, complete within an hour. Your guide was very helpful. The XR took a bit longer as you need to remove the rear rack, side panels, rack arms, a metal housing, the two lower black plastic panels, the small rear plastic panel and finally the small panel holding the accessory USB port. Inside this there is a small square box where the indicator leads are housed. It’s fairly tight in there once the Weiser technik modules are added, but other than removing then re-fitting a total of 29 screws, it’s all pretty straightforward. The modules make a big difference on both bikes! Thanks again.
Glad to hear you got the modules installed on your XR. Thank you for sharing it will help other XR owners complete the installation 👍🙋🏻♂️
Best wishes Carl
Hi Carl, I do enjoy watching your videos, they are very helpful. I wish you could produce them more often. Chris
Hi Chris, thank you 🙏
I also would like to make more, I have two currently in progress and another 2 waiting for me to start.
And a completely different mini series planned for winter 🤔.
I would love to do some week long bike reviews, proper in depth testing but dealers are only interested in loaning their bikes for an hour or two some just an afternoon which for me is not enough time.
I hope that will change as the channel grows and more subscribers join.
I am delighted with the subscribers that show support without those I would have stopped by now.
Have a great weekend
Carl
Hi Carl fitted them today work great ..but on the GSA I had to take off the givi plate and all the rear frame for the panniers took a bit of extra time but worth it I'd say 30 to 40 mins for the GSA.
Hi Andy, good of you to clarify this for other GSA owners
Do you like the great brightness 🔆 and which mode did you set yours too
@@justthewayitis just fitted the rear module set
Ah, ok understand.
Excellent video as always Carl.
And I'm ordering them now.
My Question is do we need to notify our insurance company of modifications?
Yes we do, even if it's just adding stickers....
Apparently this can also affect cover
Hello Carl. Great Video and it is interesting what the TUEV thinks about it. Are the EVO lights meanwhile officially approved for the use in Europe ? Does Wieser have their own E sign and number now ?
Hi Michael there is a video up tonight that talks about the response from the Tūv guys which was very interesting.
As to the E sign I believe they are still working towards that goal and possibly a new design of indicators.
These new Wizard modules will be a great option for those of us in Europe
Hi carl. Brilliant videos, they have helped me understand my GS better, but not as well as you. Can you tell me How? you have got the large central rear light to work as a tail light? My 23 GS only uses the ridiculous and vulnerable indicators as tail light , with the centre light not showing any headlight (rear) function! I’m sure in your indicator change, your centre light was lit. Thanks, mb
Hi Mabs, yes of course
Watch episode 23 it explains the module you need.
It’s called EXT run-on and you can order it on the Weiser-Tech website. Just add a note to your order asking for the Plug & Play Version.
It’s much simpler to install which I show in detail in episode 24
Best wishes Carl
Hi Carl. Does it kill the orange running light on the front? as this was the problem with people glancing at the bike, seeing the orange, and assuming it was turning.
Yes, that’s front the front kit does, turn off those Amber running lights.
No more Road users confused what we’re doing 😉
Take care Slip
Carl
Excellent video as always. Where can I buy those for a 2023 Canadian r1250GSA. I do not seem to be able to locate them on the Weiser web site.
Hi Leo, just send Mark the boss at weiser an email and he will make sure you receive the correct ones for your bike.
The team is very friendly and normally fast to reply to emails.
Say hello from me and don’t forget to ask for your discount 🙋🏻♂️
Best wishes Carl
Hi Carl do you have a video of installing front bmw DRL ? Great videos by the way 👍
Hi, I’m a little confused, which DRL from BMW do you mean ?
Do you mean the White ones in the video?, these are from Weiser-Technik and are covered in one of the installation guides I have on the channel.
Amazing video and clear instructions. Out of curiosity, does the change void the factory warranty?
Hello Davor, and welcome to the channel, when I asked my dealer they said no because I’m not replacing anything I’m just adding an additional module.
In the UK several BMW dealerships are now offering these to their customers and installing them , which is great news. But it’s worth you asking your dealer so your 100% clear on their answer in your location.
Best wishes Carl
@@justthewayitis hello Carl, thanks for coming back to me, appreciate it. Your videos on the GS were amazing (hope you will keep making them) and have helped me in deciding if actually buying the bike or not. Looking at your in depth videos and clear explanations have pushed me into the Gs world 😂 thanks again, cheers and keep up the good work 👍💪
Thank you 🙏
Hi i have an asian bmw gsa thropy the indicator lights are not multifunctional will this work?
Hi , the modules only work on bikes with multifunction but
You could fit the EVO Extreme kit which is how I ride. , you can see them in episode 13
Carl
Morning Carl, I have just purchased this set for my 21 Rallye GS based of your excellent and informative Video. My question to you is - Would you know if these modules will cause errors at BMW service UK when the bike is plugged into their computer to update software? As my bike is due to go in and have the latest recall programming done. Many thanks, and look forward to your next item. Cheers Pete
Hi Pete, Weiser-Tech designed the Wizard modules to interface with the canbus system , and several UK BMW dealership are stocking these and installing them to their customers bikes.
So no they will be fine.
Thank you for feedback
Best wishes Carl
@@justthewayitis Thank you Carl, for the prompt response. I hadn't thought about that when i bought these from Sycamore Motorrad UK. Pete 👍
No problem 😉
Excellent video Carl i found it very useful and thanks for the added bit at the end about German regs although it might not be relevant to uk bikes it nevertheless is useful if visiting Germany - I wonder if we would need to remove the 3rd rear module if touring in Germany or if like you we won’t be bothered by. German law as the bike would be ok for a legal mot in the uk.
Thanks again - I like your videos as they are very informative.
Glad you enjoyed the episode, with regards to the regs, you wont need to worry as your bike is a UK bike so no one is going to stop you. As for me, I prefer the extra visibility the centre light offers, even though its not strictly legal.
Kindest Regards
Carl
Just want to say thanks - I bought the full kit and fitted them - easy after following your clear video instructions. Great work - loving the channel.
Your very welcome 🙏
They do make quite an improvement 🙋🏻♂️
Will there be a Weiser Wizard Modul installation guide for the new BMW R1300GS ?
Yes, definitely and it’s going to include adding Extreme EVO indicators to the front on a Trophy model
Hi Carl, I came across your channel when researching information on the BMW R1250GS and I've found your videos very helpful, particularly those concerning the 'buggers muddle' BMW have made of their multi dis-functional indicators. I have now fitted a full set of the Weiser Wizard 'plug & play' modules and I couldn't be more happy with the result. On a different subject I see you are considering changing the screen on your 1250GS. If it helps I can recommend fitting the larger GSA screen, which makes for a better touring option. It's a simple 10 minute job to swap them over. Thank you and keep up the good work 👍
Hi Robin , good evening and thank you 🙏 that’s one screen I hope to test in spring. Glad you have enjoyed the GS series. And pleased to hear you have enjoyed the Weiser the Wizard Modules 👍.
More to come in the series once the weather improves.
Kind regards Carl
Unless you have a 1300 Where BMW thought it wise to take off the TAIL LIGHT completely to put a radar sensor which will be rarely used.
There is a solution coming for this from Weiser-Technik which I will be demonstrating soon in an upcoming video
Carl
Hi Carl. I had your channel recommended to me by a senior police motorcycle trainer. I realised quite quickly he was refrring to the poor lighting on the bike. As such I purchsed all 5 modules. Wow, what a difference. I do have one problem thouh with the front lights, one is clearly brighter than the other! I have checked connections and all is as it should be. Have you experienced this before or can offer any help?
Hi Jacko, and welcome to the channel. 👍
Ok, if one front indicator is brighter than the other it’s a voltage / current issue.
Both front indicators need the extra BLACK 12V feed wire connected to work correctly and be super bright, because the indicators need an extra 300mA to run super bright.
If, like I show in the video you should have a BLACK 12V wire running from the wiring harness at the bike of the bike to the front of the bike.
At the front it then splits two ways, one to the left and one to the right.
So first check that connection where all 3 wires join together.
You can also check you have 12V inside each indicator housing on the black wire ( make sure they are connected correctly by gently making sure they are pushed firmly onto the pins )
Don’t worry it will be something simple.
Check above and report back
Carl
Hi Carl, it was indeed the three way earth connection that was faulty. Now works perfectly. Thank you for your help - amazing@@justthewayitis
Hi Jacko, glad I could help.
Have fun with your new indicators
Carl
good video, but i have a S1000XR
Hi John, I have a video about the new Weiser Wizard Modules (V5) which is finished and ready to go live, but I’m waiting for Weiser to add the product to their website, hopefully they will have it ready within a week or two and then I can release the video.
The video uses a R1300GS but they are compatible with an XR.
If you can’t wait just send Weiser Technik an email (Mark) is the boss and give him your XR year model details as they have them in stock .
If your model does not have a tail lamp unit you can also add the third party tail light / brake light to the rear of your XR, Mark will clarify what’s available.
Kind regards Carl
What do these modules do
Hi Chriss if you watch episode 23 it’s fully explained, it much easier watch this video than explain here, hope that video helps you, kind regards Carl
You can also fit them to the S1000R / RR & XR
It would be great if Weiser would get a EU based dealer.....
Yes, I agree it would be better. I believe they are working on it.
Carl
Bloody hell, the bike thing is expensive
Hi, well it does make a big improvement over the original system as it comes from factory. We each have to decide if the safety improvements the weiser Technik wizard modules bring are worth the cost. For me it’s an easy decision 👍
Kind regards Carl
