How to: Install RID on BMW R1100GS

How to install an RID/FID yourself, when your bike didn't came with one? It's not that hard! In this video I’ll lead you through step by step on how to install an RID using my '97 BMW R1100 GS, a second hand RID and a dashboard from a crashed bike. Enjoy, and if you have any questions leave them in the comments below.
The Rider Information Display is very useful for checking which gear you're driving in, how much fuel is left in the tank, what the engine temperature is and what time it is.
The BMW RID/FID is equipped with a:
• Fuel indicator
• Engine temperature indicator
• Gear indicator
• Digital clock

Well made video, thanks. Looking forward to more on the 1100GS.

[@biketube4256]

Surely planning to! Any requests?

@@biketube4256 Anything, I bought an R850GS last year, exact same bike as the 1100GS but with smaller bores. It was in good nick but it's been an ongoing series of upgrades since. Very easy bike to work on, well thought out. So, anything you come up with will be appreciated.

Thanks for the video! I look forward to seeing what else you do to this bike. I have a 1996, same model.

Thanks, really cool to hear. Good luck finding a nice one! Since this is my road bike, I'm planning on making more vids to help out.

Hi, what kind of lightbulb are you using as a replacement?

[@michaelbmw1931]

Wow i bouth q 1996 without seeing it yet. Do they have it ?

[@hymricaurte]

Felicitaciones, dónde puedo comprar ese repuesto?

[@biketube4256]

A lot of second hand shops in the Netherlands have this part available. The RID from different R1100 models will fit, but most of them have shorter cables so then you would need to extend the cable harness by cutting off the connector and soldering some extension cables in between.

Hey mate, quick question: will this work on a 94 R1100GS?

[@biketube4256]

Hi, Yes as far as I know that will work!

У меня тоже не было. Заказывал на yebay. Поставил все работает.

[@biketube4256]

Здравствуй С Двух Колес, nice job, useful upgrade right!? eBay has plenty, I got mine via a motor garage that has many spare parts lying around. Any other fixes you are planning on doing?
