BMW R 1250 GS Adventure Essential Upgrades

[@kprice399]

Great video. I like the way you Farkled the bike. Great suggestion. On my way to BMW of Denver for a 2024 GSA.

Eurosport is a great dealership. Congrats on the bike! I’ve got very similar farkles on my GSA but haven’t done the mirrors yet. I recently completed the 2 day off-road course at BMW in Greer and dropped the bike several times and was surprised the factory hand guard never broke. I would recommend keeping extra levers for clutch and brake levers as one of those did break during a drop.

[@MotoTherapy]

Great to hear! I’d love to do that course, but haven’t been willing to drop the cash on it.

GSA is the best bike in the world.

Truth

[@Davebobandbetty]

I've got a gsa here in the UK. I'm absolutely loving it so far. I have soft kreiga luggage on it as I like to filter

[@MotoTherapy]

@@Davebobandbetty Yeah, the hard luggage is a bit portly

I should have bought my 23 GSA from Asheville. The dealer here in Charlotte doesn't give you any options nor accessories discounts on a new bike purchase. Mine came with factory Michelin Anakee Adventure tires. I hate them. The front tire is awfully noisy. The rear tire was doing something weird. I thought something was wrong with the transmission or the drive shaft. It was vibrating at high speed and felt like a tapping noise in the front foot pegs. Of course the dealer said everything was normal. I was about to sell the bike but decided to try another rear tire. Went with a Continental TKC 80 Rocks. It's a lot more off-road oriented tire BUT now it's like a got another bike. No more strong vibrations felt in the handlebars at high speed, no tapping feeling when accelerating. Now it rides like a BMW! VERY SMOOTH.

@@andrewjones2167 Glad you got that sorted out! I have very little experience with the Charlotte dealership, but I can say I have been very pleased with Eurosport!

[@nationalinterest1]

I added a 'machine art' front fender extender.....( I have the muslinger... pretty expensive for a bit of plastic..😳) ... Evotech rear shaft spindle protectors .... RubbaTech shaft protector (boots can rub on the shaft occasionally).... and am also toying with adding some Touratech reinforcing struts for the lower engine bars... 👍 🏍️ 💨

[@MotoTherapy]

Nice! Thanks for chiming-in 👍

[@highway17adv]

[@MotoTherapy]

Happy new year to you, too!

[@The_Tactical_Sombrero]

welcome to the GSA community!

[@MotoTherapy]

Thank you!

[@pault4513]

I too bought a 2023 GSA My list looks similar to yours but i made a few others so goes like this Head light guard similar but amazon Double back mirrors but added some small adjustable convex spot mirrors for the blind spots Kick stand switch guard amazon Rear master cyl reservoir cover amazon Front and rear fender extenders amazon Center stand assist handle amazon but had to make a pannier support brkt to make it fit Kick stand pad extenders made my own Helmet hook right rear pannier area (seen my friends new aria almost hit the ground so i made a hook to hang my helmet on I put about 4-5” front rear fender leather flap to keep debris from hitting front of my motor So similar to your but a little different

[@MotoTherapy]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing that!

[@fredzuccarelli]

Nice job!!!!

[@pmaraziti]

Happy NY! I have same bike and had already ordered some elements when I found this vid.... quite incredible that I had ordered the LR headlight guard, the barkbusters, the. double take mirrors, a side stand extender (lone rider in my case), the MachineArtMoto items cylinder protection and mudguard.... and was meditating on the skid plate :D

[@MotoTherapy]

Excellent taste in farkles! Happy new year to you as well, and safe travels!

[@patriotone755]

Eurosport rocks! There is no other dealer!

[@TheMcC07]

I'm looking to farkle out my 2019 GS, and I was going to skip this video until I saw your MRP shirt. Gotta stop and take the time to watch how another MRP alumni farkles out their GS! RMFR!

[@MotoTherapy]

Right on! Thanks for the note, and I hope you have a blast on your GS! Give me a shout if you’re ever in SC 👍

[@DikiciMotovlog]

Does the Bumont toolbox hit the rear splashguard? I broke my splashguard with the Wunderlich Toolbox. Apparently later they included in the manual to "remove the splashguard" if you want to use it with the toolbox...

[@MotoTherapy]

That stinks. Mine is clear of the splashguard.

[@DikiciMotovlog]

@@MotoTherapy That's good. On normal road use it was fine but after I did some offroad it broke off from the top two screws and only held by the bottom one.

[@rmoran113]

Looking at a 23 gsa but had halogens….like new only 850 miles 20k

[@MotoTherapy]

Sounds like a good deal!

[@9gagerofl]

Any more klx content coming!? 😅

[@MotoTherapy]

Most definitely! I’ve been way behind on my riding, adventures, and content due to helping my out of state parents through some serious health issues. I’ve been away from home about 50% of the time in the past two years. I have high hopes for a reprieve in 2024, though, and hope to be making some more KLX content. I love that bike!

[@9gagerofl]

@@MotoTherapy family comes first. Always. Ty for what you do for us viewers, cheers.

[@KDSchiester]

Great video…..love it all…BUT A 10 percent discount is a way for a dealer to ACT like they’re hooking you up…..it means ZERO….when you get a 20 percent or more discount, THEN they are hooking you up! Lets as a group start asking for more when someone says “10 percent”….it’s a joke. I think your mudguard is MASSIVELY overpriced. I paid 19 Dollars for mine and it is EXACTLY the same as yours. I think a lot of your mods that are just protection are way way way overpriced. I have the same footbed for the stand and again ALIexpress it was 9 dollars……again, same quality. We need a video for people that are not made of money because we all spent that money on the bike.

[@MotoTherapy]

I’ve farkled many motorcycles over the years. For me, 10% plus free installation has worthwhile value. But I agree, 20% would be even better!

[@drewbale]

It’s fercal 😂😂😂😂 great ideas keep them coming

[@MotoTherapy]

I stand corrected! 🤣

[@drewbale]

@@MotoTherapy I also have piv pegs great for standing up have a look into them

[@MotoTherapy]

@@drewbale I’ve tried them on another bike and couldn’t get used to them. It was a personal thing, though. I can see why people like them.

[@stephenscott6570]

10% off product, but presumably paying for the labor to install, does not seem to be a win. Labor costs far exceed to 10% off benefit.

[@MotoTherapy]

You would be correct, but as I stated, my dealer offered 10% off AND free installation. I view that as a win/win.

[@stephenscott6570]

@@MotoTherapyOk, I suppose I was not paying close enough attention and missed the Free Installation comment. Sorry. I run the Trail Max Mission tires as well. Had them on my former F850 GSA and when I bought the R1250 GS I had them exchange tires to the TMM. BTW, I also have the Kaw KLX 300 in Grey Camo and use a Mosko Moto Reckless 10L bag on it.

[@MotoTherapy]

@@stephenscott6570 Love my KLX!! MM luggage is awesome 👍
