Like others said, I'm glad to see how to remove that plastic bracket. A couple of general suggestions: wear nitrile gloves when working with the acid; Disconnect and isolate the negative cable before putting a tool on the positive terminal, and when installing, connect the positive first, then negative - this to avoid accidental short circuit to ground if tool on positive terminal touches frame. Thanks !
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful. As already commented Negative comes off first and on last. ;-) When I disconnect the battery the alarm goes off. What should I do to avoid this?
You doing this first time your self, and not to good eider, and just became a teacher... A mix of army talk with german droppings here and there, religious and respectfully to "old gall" but just at the begining... Are you a growing man? "Don't f.... with that" The battery cover is promoted to a PANEL now, poring acid just graduate to a PROCESS... Gerry built, make shift tripod, stand buy...I was afraid he will be back with a grenade launcher or an M16. Sheath, A simple battery installations became a lecture now...And why negatory? All that research and all that stand by, and even ya ya ya; never mind the army/police stile spelling, we are very impressed. How is that you did a little research but YOU figure that out... Just curious where is the sheet hole you put that old battery? A new battery (the beach) not a new battery system..Let's give her a go! It's always like that, it's always a trick... Positive is pozi traction? Loosing patience pain in the aaaa...this in to that, than on the other...yaaa, almost, forgot the other one. F....n fifteen thausend hour's the beach... Mack7 Mack7 ...
This video was a little painful to watch. Doing a how to is not really a platform for the instructor to free lance the procedure. Under no circumstances should you ever connect the positive terminal last. Disconnect the negative first then the positive when removing the battery. Reconnect the positive first the the negative last when installing the battery. This will prevent any possibly of the positive lead arcing to ground. It would have been a much better video if the person doing it would have been knowledgeable on the task at hand rather than attempt to be witty or clever with his narrative. In short, don’t do as he does or says. To much wrong in the middle, but to his credit, the battery did get installed without damaging the electronic system on the R1200GS. LOTS OF CRINGE MOMENTS THOUGH!

Finally, someone that showed me how to remove the hard plastic bracket around the battery. Thank you Max!
Cracking me up Max7 .. thanks

What should I do to avoid this?
I do not know - my GS doesn't have an alarm. If you find out how - that would be good to know for those that have alarms.
Did you get any error message after installing the battery? No errors caused by both terminals being disconnected?
No, no problems of any kind.
@Maxseven777 Hi, can I check if you’re still using this battery for your R1200GS Adventure? Is there any issues with the battery? Thanks in advance.
Still going strong - no problems.
Maxseven777 Thank you!
You really don’t know what your doing yet you are showing everyone “how to do it”
I'm showing everyone "how I've done it" - let free will apply :)

Thanks for the unique comments Stefan - I'll answer your one question - I took the old battery to Auto Zone for recycling.
@@Maxseven777 you are a good sport! Be safe!
