happy days....just took delivery of my new steed, an '06 r1200gs with 34,000 k's and it has brand new Karoo Streets on it; i thought they wouldn't be much good for off-road and had already factored in the cost for more suitable tyres...now having seen this and read through the comments, i can spend the money elsewhere; soft luggage here we come! Cheers

by far the best video about the Beemer shaft service i have seen; there's nothing quite like an Aussie to cut through all the 'noise' and get to the point of getting the job done; other videos are 15 min plus and they make the job look so-much harder than it actually is; from one Aussie to another, Cheers!

did you want to sell the 2d sensor?

Hey George, If you ever get the time, I would be interested to know your opinion on the Gen 4/5 versus your maxed-out Gen 3. Upgrading to a newer model was never an option for me because my 2016 was only two years old when I first got her. I started slowly upgrading parts like you did. After sinking this much cash into upgrades, I always wondered if I would have been better off putting this money towards a newer model and trading her in. I'm emotionally attached to the bike now, so it's not really an option, but I always wondered what I was missing out on. (Although mine is called Penelope, Bob is a rather interesting name even if you're batting for the other team. But I digress.) Is it worth paying a bit less for the last generation of bike and using the saved money for upgrades, like we have done, versus going for a "mid" spec Gen 4/5 like the ones you have at the school? I'm curious where you stand on this, having ridden the different generations over the years.

I have bitubo suspension fitted to my s1000rr it's difficult to find out any information very helpful keep them coming thank you

I love these series of vids coach ❤keep on coming

You not one to do things half baked. I recommended Mupo, and you went full Scoorge McDuck Bitubo - congrats on the upgrade, I'm a little jealous FYI. It's obviously too late now as Joe already had the forks in his hands. However for anyone reading, the DDC! Message and "!" Warning light can be disabled by going to the BMW Stealership and getting them to untick the DDC box in the parameters. Here is the kicker though - it can only be done whilst the DDC system is installed. It can not be done after the suspension has been swapped over - So you're stuck singin "... This lil' light of miiiiine, I'm goooona let it shiiiiiiine..."

Next the before and after comparison test 👍🏻

That explanation of high speed/low speed was brilliant

Love your work Jorge ❤

I have just had the suspension set up.Can I calibrate the suspension on the stand or does it have to be straight up and down? Will the compression and rebound settings still be saved or will they be reset after calibration?

How to fix in 2010 model?

Great 🎉video

nice info couch

lol $2000 rearsets...maybe for a BMW motorcycle owner that sounds normal. I've seen decent ones for around $500-$700 range.

The best performance mod I ever did was losing 50lbs off my fat ass.

any issue with peg scrape?

very informative, great video sir. I just purchased a pair for my bike.

Thanks for a great video! I have used it several times over the past years to perform this maintenance chore. Today, however, I am having a very hard time getting the front yoke of the driveshaft onto the spline of the transmission output shaft. Don't know what I am doing wrong, but when I reviewed your video you just say to reinstall it, with no further advice... just do it! Guess I will have to find some other video for help with this problem. Thanks again.

No 38NM better 24NM ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽

My 2024 Honda XL750 Transalp came with these tires and they perform well but they are THE noisiest tires I have ever had on the highway.

Thank You for video buddy 😉 just ask because You mentioned in one comment, why You didn't put some copper grease?

brake fluids naturally grab water from the air, regardless if you're near water or not. it just degrades faster on more humid environments/places.

Awesome Mate!!

I got the same lights for my BMW S 1000 double R but when I installed them, my signals were kind of ruined. What is that cost? Please help me out let me know where I got a tackle to have to turn signals again appreciate it thank you.

That jack looks great for cleaning wheels without the 2 person paddock stand procedure! Reckon I might get one.

Love my GS-911. Apart from all the obvious stuff, it also allows you to bleed the brakes properly by operating the ABS pump.

Great tips for kit, thanks I’ve got a set of Dynamoto stands, fantastic quality and 🇦🇺 ian made, make storage and moving bikes around very easy

I have the 200/60 on my zx12r. I love the way it handles it is great at low and high speeds and sticks to the road like a fat kid on a cupcake .

I’ve got a 2022 with DDC - you’ve offered the best info I’ve found yet even knowing the model year is quite apart. Similar even if not the same. Incredible that dealer selling bike doesn’t offer basic setup knowing it’s not an easy or clear process. Like nothing else especially manual dial adjusters. The bike on to do the adjustment is likely just the start of it for most. Even to read manual supplied with bike barely skims it and the computer dealer service technician manual isn’t super clear. In fact I read dealer manual like a book page for page 4-5 times before it all started to come clear (along with doing each process where needed). The other major hurdle - all the specialist tools that are unavailable to pubic (along with the actual manual at least easily purchased) Bmw clearly want buyers paying (overcharging) the buyers to work on the machines. The most unfriendly serviceable bike I’ve ever owned. And by far the best machine simultaneously. 😢 Such that working on it until I figured it out was pure anger. Wanted to light it on fire a couple times.

I tried this tire on my Tuono… Better turn in and hold a line better it seems but sucks at high speeds in a straight line

Tip for fork geometry, check how much front tyre edge is not being used ,if it is excessive over 5mm you could lower the front end if there is no strip using whole edge front tyre you could raise the front end ,tyre can only be read on fast riders bikes that have been cranking corners and hard braking also. A very fast rider taught me this trick ,bike higher in front end great for late braking but may sacrifice mid corner grip 👍sik bike also

OK for the track but less high speed stability for the road.

george, can you still lock the steering with the stopper stuck onto the frame? been wanting to do this for a bit but i still use the bike on the street a fair bit.

Will affect the ABS and traction control ?

I’ve had the pirelli supercorsa V3’s (200/60/17) on my 2017 Suzuki gsxr1000 and I love them. Love the turn in and edge grip. I didn’t need to adjust the front forks. The guys at the bike shop were telling me it won’t be good etc. I’m glad I didn’t listen. I love the balance of the bike now. I guess everyone is different on what they prefer though. It makes the bike longer geared so taking off from a standstill is less aggressive but when it gets going it is even faster than before. I may change the sprockets up for a better balance. The 200/60/17 is the same size as a racing slick I think. I really like these pirelli’s, so much confidence. The V4’s will be even better. 🇦🇺✝️

any updates on this ??

Nice video. I have just done the exact same experiment with my 2019 Tuono V4, except I am running the Corsa 4 instead of the Supercorsa. I have used 190/55, 200/55 and currently the 200/60. Like you I expected the 200/60 to quicken the steering as it is significantly taller than the 55. However, just like yourself, I found no noticeable difference in turn in compared to the 200/55. The biggest difference was how the bike felt on the side of the tire. It is so stable and confidence inspiring in high speed high angle turns - especially when under acceleration. Interestingly the 190/55 is the quickest steering tire, which is kind of counterintuitive from a geometry perspective. However, after much chin scratching and dug into the tire specs and discovered that there is a significant difference in weight between all 3 sizes - with the 200/60 being much heavier than the 190/55. All I can assume is the the rotating mass plays a much greater role than geometry in quick side to side transitions. For me I think I will go back to a 190/55 for general road/canyon use and roll out the 200/60 for the track.

Great video thank you. So what pressure front and back do you usually use on road? 26 on back you mentioned?

Fantastic info, thanks mate 👍

Hey Mate, Thank you so much for the video. It's surprising how similar our bikes are. Here are a few things to consider: There's something called an eccentric washer on the shock absorber. Depending on who handled your bike during manufacturing, that washer is often in the "lower" setting. By flipping it, you get the same benefits as going to the taller profile, with one major advantage I'll discuss below. You didn't mention Traction Control, which I think is an important topic. Our ECU lookup tables are generated by the ABS sensors, meaning they compute slip/speed based on assumptions about tire circumference. By increasing the tire size, the computer allows more slip before activating traction control. Here are two and a half solutions to this problem: 1 Ask your dealership to change your ECU parameters. I went from a 190 to a 200 tire. You likely didn't need to do this because your forged wheels probably come stock for a 200/55 profile. BMW reprogrammed my ECU for the new rear tire size at no charge. 2 The RCK3 (BMW Race ECU software) has a table for tire size for this exact reason. It's not worth it unless you're using other RCK3 features. 3 In User/Slick modes (or all modes if you have your ECU flashed), you can adjust your traction control with 15 steps, giving you a few % more/less slip in absolute terms. In the real world, tire sizes don't always match their labels. My Pirelli 200 tire is actually around 195 millimeters. This manufacturing "wiggle room" is why people have different opinions on this topic. Some 200 tires are actually 205, others are 195 (and everything in-between) , which affects traction control behavior. BMW allows us to adjust slip manually to account for these variations but you can go only so far before you're up against the wall of -/+7 DTC P.S. Ask Joe where he thinks the DDC suspension belongs. It might be time for Mupo, my friend Cheers

Love your work Jorge 👍

Do you need to replace both sides in order to use. My starter switch has gone bang and wondering if i could just replace it with the jetprime one without doing the other side.

I will Change my Tyrea with Karoo Street and to Tet Sweden riding😊

Is it necessary to remove servo without change whole exhaus system? I have just changed slip on exhaus no decat. Also is it not using servo for any other purposes just for get bike quiet?

Great review, cheers mate.

Is there a E Mark on it ?

do you use 0.5mm wire ?

I am just learning and the instructor s said to push as in forward not press down..??

Good time on a stock bike on road tires. Even still got your pen in place to make student notes! Nice one Jorge!
