BMW R1200GS Adv LC | Battery Replacement

[@bergenwireless8027]

This is the most professional, adequate and straight forward video on how to change the R1200 GS battery.

[@howardgraff4084]

Very helpful. Thank you. My model year 2018, UK bike, has a different, much larger / different shape battery retaining bracket than the one in your video which fooled me for a while, but in fact it comes off in the same way as your show in your video. (Basically, lift it vertically a few millimetres and then the bottom and two side fixings come free. The negative terminal wire was also routed differently (over the top of the battery, from the rear of the battery compartment) but that was no challenge. Thanks again. Your video really helped.

[@PatrickNolan001]

A+. Love the no dialogue -- straight and to the point. Thank you.

[@SD-cm8ij]

I don't leave comments, however this clip is great. Clear instruction, to the point and shows that without speech is perfect. Thank You

[@ahwthe3rd]

Perfect. Thank you. Accomplished the battery swap in about 10 mins with this video.

[@rogers484]

Definitely an A+ or A++. Clear, concise, thorough, a 5 y/o could understand. I learned everything I need to know, never a word spoken. Terrific!

[@bilalarslan20]

This video includes all the details about battery removal/installation instructions. Thanks. Great job!

[@AffyNoX]

Thank you

[@jackkim9103]

The no-talking style is great. Good video

[@MiguelCruzNet]

Finally, a spot-on video on changing the battery. Thanks mate !

[@vladcoroama1933]

Brilliant, sir! My particular issue had been how to detach the battery retainer bracket; as opposed to other videos, yours made it very clear. Thank you.

[@oldNavyJZ]

My kind of video. No annoying music, not a lot of words. Just gettin' r' done.

[@drenogerard5349]

Thanks ! You helped me a lot even I tried long time to take off the retainer bracket. In your comments, that should be well to insist on that step, writing to not hesitate to raise battery at the same time. Thanks again for help

[@dantilden3896]

Well done. Very helpful - and now I have a battery successfully removed for the winter. Thanks again!

[@FrancoisDumas]

Thank you for helping me find my battery :)

[@SamWanderlust]

Finally a good video, thanks!

Thanks you mate for this clean video !

[@greathelmet]

Thank you very much! Nice presentation! It's what I needed.

[@kally7586]

Perfekt, mit Gebärdensprache. Brauch ich mein Lückenhaftes English gar nicht erst auspacken.

[@vitalii_zemskov]

Thanks for the silence bro)

[@douglasmacy220]

Man of few words… I like it

[@slavkos.7588]

Simple, easy to follow instructions.

[@markcullen7330]

Great video! Simple clear instruction.

[@andrewfrost8422]

Good video, I’d just add, when you ‘say’ gently slide the battery out. You need to lift it up before it slides towards you. I placed a flat head screw driver under the battery to prise it up then pull it out towards you.

[@AffyNoX]

Yes, you are right on that one. It need to be lifted slightly.

[@banksjim]

Great video. Not sure why some idiot gave a thumbs down. Must have wanted you to include dancing ponies and a rock music track.

[@AffyNoX]

Haha... thanks for the comment.

[@IamthePMofAustralia]

Only the clock needs resetting? What about custom mode setups?

[@marcosresto544]

Thank you for a quiet well performed video You set the standard everyone should follow THANK YOU 😊

[@ChristopheBerthaud]

[@shodgkiss2940]

Grazie, tutto chiaro

[@datawolk]

Its T20 right?

[@daveclarke2761]

Hi there. Thanks for the video. Nice, simple, comprehensive. Question; is it the same on a 2005 BMW 1200GS? standard GS, not GSA.

[@AffyNoX]

I believe 2005 model GS the battery is underneath the rider seat. Remove it, then there is holder for the on-board documentation to be remove. It's held in place with 1 screw. Once that is remove you can remove the battery. Hope this help. I did not own a 2005 GS to have a better presentation on it. Had work on R1100RS that one the battery is in more difficult access.

[@adventuremonkey]

Brilliant, thank you 🙏🏻

[@fs7566]

Thank you the video was very helpful

[@muppix]

No obnoxious music? No telling me to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE every 15 seconds? Surely this violates some sort of KZbin guidelines ...

[@ultimatebuzz73]

Great video. Are there any issues with removing the battery for 3 months during the winter?

[@AffyNoX]

Saor Alba I don’t see any problem in that. Depending on ECU type, the volatile memory could be wipe out and will need to relearn your riding style. Apart from this possibilities I can’t think of anything else that could go wrong.

[@johnnispeling5633]

Excellent video!

[@bradb2514]

Excellent! Very helpful.

[@R.p.952]

Thank you good video .

[@hankgs]

EXCELLENT VID...!

[@lvenegasp]

Precise explanation ! No special Torque required?

[@AffyNoX]

There are torque value as BMW service manual. But since battery terminal are quite common I just use general tightness as most battery terminal. The cover is not a critical item so I don’t bother with torque value too. For critical items I will use a torque wrench. However please follow the service manual if in doubt.

[@greathelmet]

8 to 11 Nm.

[@KarlK02]

Thank you

[@I.M.A.Panther3619]

Nice video ..... Hey ... does anyone know what the BMW battery costs in the USA ? Glad there are other batteries for this .... BMW parts are nasty expensive and they really are not any better than other part sellers offer.

[@AffyNoX]

As replacement I just use Yuasa, they are good. Beemer batteries is just a rebrand and over here in Kuala Lumpur it is about 200 US each. You are right there, the bmw batteries is not any better that after market. I use R1100RS before, and on that bike I use panasonic industrial battery that is about 20 ~ 30 US a piece, it work. I just replace it every year.

[@bangkok-moscow6957]

Thank you.

[@QarthCEO]

Thank you!

[@KOXIRPARTS]

we have more better regulator for bmw 1200gs, use full bridge mosfet. much lower temperature then normal regulator

[@teach1644]

Nice scratch job on the frame with the socket bro.

[@Stratos20vT]

Bravo very good video !!! Keep up follow

[@herveverniers1739]

Super ! Merci.

[@jw122489]

Yours is missing parts. I have a hard cover behind the neg line

[@AffyNoX]

Thanks for telling me that, I did send the bike for warranty claim in 2017. They replaced the battery and nobody else has work on it. Not sure if the dealer has forgotten to put it back. Anyway, I had since change to a different bike now.

[@3573663]

Thank you helped alot

[@mohddinie705]

hi bro, tahan berapa lama battery yuasa ni?

[@AffyNoX]

Usually around 2 years, tetapi kalau jarang jalan cepat rosak. Untuk lanjutkan usia battery elok guna charger yang ada trickle dan maintenance function. Boleh tahan lebih lama.

[@mohddinie705]

@@AffyNoX terbaik tq boss

[@Afrikaaner72]

Good vídeo!!!

[@jeppymongoose393]

basic enough task but man it is frustrating that you don't just talk. Are you scared of having your voice online? Pantomiming and waiting for text to explain what you could just easily say while doing is so much better.

[@31acruz]

good grief, don't you ever wash your bike? jesus..

[@AffyNoX]

I ride daily, not only on weekends. So washing is not really a top priority.

[@mavericksdad050]
