Hi Chris, nice bike and walk through video. Currently doing a PC50 and would love to know the colour code or name for the blue paint. It looks very original. Thanks and ride safe.

Helpful... but very long winded.

I am building a gen two now and I did it the way you explained. I had both doors on in a couple hours. So much easier than expected.

With the gs911 after bleeding the brakes system, are you not supposed to activate the ABS pump? And repeat this 3 times? Thanks for your expertise. Norm

Hey, all great advice. But it didn’t seem clear to me. Once we install the speed bleeders on the bike, can we leave them on permanently? Or do we need to reinstall the original ones? Thanks

Where can I download the BMW Motorrad bi-annual scheduled Maintenance for K 1600 GT? Thanks great video.

The time this video has saved me is miraculous. I struggled trying to use the pick method which was a complete failure. after watching your video, especially the last two minutes saved me even more frustrated time. The allen key is the real key to the information. If I had done that, I would have been able to complete the total rekey in an hour. This is the most useful video on this process. The 7th tumbler portion was crucial as I was rekeying a top box. Kudos to the work and spreading of information !!

Thanks for the informative and very articulate way you explained the modifications; being a new 2024 Beta Evo 200 owner and 70 years old returning to trials; right now I’d like to lighten the clutch pull and be able to use one finger on lever and make using lever easier with smaller hands; although quite expensive seems to really fit the bill; is there anyway you would take a personal message to discuss it a bit further thanks, John

sos un capo , esta tengo yo funcionando kzbin.infoTmLtb7GFSAM saludos desde argentina!

Saved me some money! Thank you!

Thank you! I followed all the steps and it went smoothly on my recently bought 2009 K1300GT at 25,000 mi.

Trouble is, you need a whole bunch of special tools!

Enjoy your videos. Just bought a 2014 r1200 rt with 10K miles. Love riding this bike! I have taken your suggestions on crash bars, fender extender, and side stand foot enlarger. Also purchased an adapter for my GARMEN XT ( a must in my book) Now looking into replacing the Sargent seat with an day long. Only concern is that the present seat rub my inner thighs making long rides impossible So I don't know if I would have the same problem with the Daylong . Any input you could make would be helpful. Keep the great videos coming .

Excellent Review.

I have a K1600 GT that came with this style box and I love it. When traveling, it is so nice just to turn the key to pop the handle, lift it off, and carry it into the room. This one also seems to be a lot more steady than the K1600 GTL factory case.

Last week here in Quebec City, a woman right urned in front of me into a parking lot when I was on my pedal bike. My elbow hit the passenger side window hard. BMW bike with full windshield-nice!

The wafers should be lightly greased prior to assembly, a white lithium grease is recommended. If you also apply a small amount of grease in each spring pocket, it makes assembly much easier and keeps the springs in place.

Wauw. Yor really know what you are doing 👏🏾

Your camera work is giving me vertigo...

BMW has another top box which is refrigerated for your adult beverages. It has a solar panel on top of the box to generate the needed electricity. You should check it out.

Great video, i will get the aeroflow tall.

On my last BMW motorcycle I had to bleed the abs pump sepetately. Nice to know that it's not a thing with my 2015 RT. Thanks for your video.

Side cases on the RT and the K1600 are the same and are interchangeable.

I haven't been able to locate a Bose 20 for android. Will the ISO / Apple units work? I did try a Bose ultra wireless but the controls were constantly activated by the slightest movement of the helmet. I also haven't found a Cardo Q3, and haven't seen one with the input you show. Still searching...

Your static balance looks good! Thanks for posting this. Come to a Sacramento PITS event sometime!

I have a RDL seat on my HD Road Glide and have about 30k miles on it. I have rode 500+ miles at a time on numerous rides with no issues. I have had HD touring, Mustang and Corbin seats and the RDL seat is by far the best for me. I will never have another seat on any of my touring bikes in the future.

Thanks very detailed

Fantastic tutorial. Thankyou

I’ve had an air hawk on my r1200rt for about 15 years. Just failed on the parkway last fall so just ordered a new one. I hope it’s as good quality.

Hi, what’s the style number? Nice by the way🎉

sticky pads? no thanks, if it was screwed in i would buy them right away, but i'll pass on some DIY look solution

anybody install these on a BMW F800GT and care to share the experience?

10 years and still saving money and time this video thx!

Thanks for the great videos! I understand you found a way to disable the windshield auto retract when the bike is turned off. If so could you please share the trick?

Wow thank you!!!!!!

Thanks, greetings from Germany!

Thanks! This is exact video I was looking for

Thank you, Chris. You're my go-to resource for all of my RT projects! Appreciate your thorough videos!

struts are cheap on amazon and would be easy to add.

Chris, your video's are a great resource...you are very articulate and have great content. You have a lot of fans...love to see more video's by you.

Hello Chris, this the first time I’ve seen one of your videos and you did a great job on talking about the RDL seat. I have a new Goldwing and like you, I’ve tried several reputable after market seats over the years on past Honda and BMW motorcycles, but no major improvement in seat time or comfort. I’ve already had one modification done to the seat and it has given me another 45 minutes without the typical hip/pelvic pains. However, my plan is to go to the RDL and have a custom seat made. The good news is current queue time is approximately 30 days. Thanks again for the great video. Safe riding.

Bought one today after this review

Привет, подскажи на сколько открутить pilot screw?

By filing the fiber plate fingers you are altering the spacing between each finger a random amount. this will result in some fingers bearing more load on the basket than others and clutch binding more. Try running a light light 2T gear oil Motorex or Motul 10-30 or AFT (7.5) and hold the clutch in while warming motor in gear. If you still have problems put the front wheel against a tree in gear and modulate (abuse) the clutch for a minute and it will clean up .

What's the difference between bench syncing the carbs...and yic..balancing..??

I think this modification is only for U.S. because it is so weird in Europe to heard the motorcycle is like a car. when the sound is treble as stock BMW horn, we know that it is coming from a motorcycle and we take care more of them. Here It is not working the sound like a car in a motorcycle, it is dangerous.
