2013 BMW R 1200 GS Technical Guide - How to operate the functions on the R 1200 GS 

Excellent video! Valuable information for me, who just got my 2015 R1200GSA. 5:46 - Slight Mistake??. - The increase when using the cruise control is 2.5 km/hr per press. - pressing it four times will get you from 70km/h -to 80km/h At least on the 2015 R1200GSA

Wow. I picked up a new 2019 R1250Gs yesterday from the dealer. It’s amazing how much of this still applies to the current model bike !

Been searching for a while for an extremely comprehensive video like this, great job!

Simply amazing explanation of it all. Thanks, mate!

I have a 2010 Multistrada 1200S, which I bought new almost three years ago to the day. While I love that bike, I find it too delicate for the type of riding I want to do. Silly things (like the turn signal stalks) break, and it drives me crazy. I've always had a longing eye towards BMW's GS motorcycles, but they never had the performance I was looking for. Well, after test riding a 2013 water-boxer I can say that performance is no longer an issue, and I am really digging the new machine!

How long have I been looking for such a video. Thanks a lot guys !!!

Awesome video!

Excellent mate

very hi-tech... love this bike

same gizmos but watercooled and better balanced, my old GS Adventure was hard to hold, love the balance of the new one for me a bit too much power but to each its own

Perfect!!

Well done

best video

4:11 you kidding me I’m watching this on 12.03.24

Anyone knows how can I switch off the factory alarm system, it gets annoying inside a ship...

How about fuel efficiency? That's important too.

Im looking for a tutorial of the same model on how to start without key special when you lost your Key how to bypass it?

Miles Davis BMW Australia Marketing dude. Best. Job. In. The World!

They need a close up of the control screen

Can you give a contact on the board if you don't have a chip to start the engine. I only have a cut key.

Does this bike have cruise control?

Hi, good job !How to activate gear shift indicator because not found in the manual instruction.Thanks in advance !

To set a pillion, do you need to go into setup? For me, pressing the suspention button only moves between Dyna and Road.

I have a problem about BMW gs 1200 after changing tire the gas only stuck on 3000 rpm

The previous GS wasn't exactly a bare bones motorcycle. How far back in the history of the GS line do you have to go to find one that had the right amount of gizmos? Time marches on, and so does technology. When fuel injection came out, there were people lamenting that as well. My only issues with "gizmos" is their complexity; specifically with regard to the home mechanic not being able to service it themselves. BMW has been building over-complicated bikes for decades.

how do u work the lights? fully automatic?

if you don't want the gizmos, then just buy a dirt bike? or better yet, I hear horses work pretty well

Great bike After 4000 miles i know i bought the right motorcycle. You have 3 years if gizmos stop working BMW pays

Is there a quiz at the end? 😬

Do you really need all this high tech on a bike. It looks a bit complicated. Never been on a gs 1200 yet.

For those who say all the Gizmo's are good till they fail, well BMW does not FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Need" is the wrong choice of words, especially on a motorcycle nearing 20 grand.

Dude.... how the hell do you get it to show the ACTUAL MILEAGE ????!!?????

My thoughts exactly. All these gizmos are great until they fail. Then its $ time again. Just saying.

I coud not agree more. The new is not a gs for me. To many gismos

Really a bad job of integrating the camera work and the gentleman walking through the functionality It's as if no one was paying attention to what he was saying with the camera

Worst demonstration I've ever witnessed. BMW can certainly do much better.
