Bmw, 1300 GS, description of how to fit foot rests by Sw Motech and how to adjust the gear selector

[@LisaValfreya]

Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I have my 1300 on order and should be collecting soon. Its been really helpful seeing your content. I do alot of work on my other bikes myself so not scared to get stuck in. Also thank you for always saying Ladies & gents. It's still very common for bike content or any form of mechanical work to exclude women. So much appreciated.

Hello and thank you for your great video. I am interested in the same footrests but especially with the aim of lowering them and I am not sure because on the SW Motech website they say that they are 15 mm lower than the originals in the low position but as there are models with and without original rubbers and that the SW Motech rubbers are very thick I do not know if in the end they are really lower with the rubbers compared to the originals with rubbers, I have exactly the same original footrests as you so you have the answer that I am waiting for to order this article. Thank you in advance for your answer, have a good day.

Did you apply anything to the rod after the safety nuts were loosened? I tried adjusting mine but the rod was almost impossible to spin, not like 😅n your case where you just used your fingers.

What’s the torque setting for the shift lever?

Great and informative video - thank you. I need to make these adjustments and fit lowered pegs so my Daytona boots fit. Could you give the torque settings please ?

[@lifeisarideuk]

I’m not giving out talk settings I’m afraid they’re on the SWT website but let me tell you now Lonerider do an amazing set of foot pegs with special anti-vibration rubber inserts check them out

I know that you don't like the headlight on the new GS, however Europe law stated that the headlight must be in the center of the bike, so BMW had no option but to come up with something new,👍

I can’t see it from the seat 😏
