Accessories fitted to my 2022 BMW R1250GS-Would I fit them again? Let's find out.🤪 

Thanks for update. As a new GS owner your films have been helpful.

Super informative and well presented. Many thanks. G.

As usual great content, a nice bike, and some great additions, the 719 mirrors look the dogs! and the tidy-up on the front dash area is great also the dark tint screen looks good.

great video, very informative, if I ever get to afford a GS I'd fit most of those, same colour too. great dogs BTW just as chilled out as my boy

Great insights, thank you.

Great take on your additions. I see a GS in my future and have enjoyed your videos. Love the dogs, I have a big male bi-color.

Thanks for another informative video & full disclosure on all aspects of your GS1250. I have been looking for a late model GS1200, but considering a new GS1250. Buying a BMW is not as straight forward as buying any other bike & very expensive too. You have a beautiful GS and your video's are invaluable to anyone looking to buy a GS or accessorize one. Looking forward to all your 2023 videos.

I’ve had my cheap £20 mudguard extenders for about 4 years, £189 is daft 😁

super interesting, tnx

Beautiful ride!!!!

Great video and very very helpful.

Great video! I love my Option 719 foot pegs and shifter/levers. The pegs are adjustable up/down and the rubber retracts when you stand on them

Great video. It’s great to get a completely honest opinion on all the accessories. Also about the rear indicator’s I didn’t know that it was an option to not have the brake lights included with the indicator I will be definitely asking about that tomorrow when I’m going to order a new 1250 adventure in the trophy colour scheme. Thanks again as I have been watching many reviews on utube and you seem to have the the most honest reviews..

Thanks verry mutch. Nice done

You’re right! My GSA pulls to the left with Michelin 6s too.

It’s so easy to get carried away with all the ads ins. The I’ve spent on excess of £3k (not including panniers) on my GS Rallye. Mind you I’ve spent about the same amount on my Triumph T100 getting it to the bike it should have been when it left the factory. It’s so easy to get carried away so be warned, adding accessories is addictive. As long as one goes into the ownership with this in mind one won’t get any nasty surprises. With hindsight I would have bought something else but then, I still love both my bikes. Good job as I can’t now afford to sell either. PS: good point about mentioning all the packages arriving. I try to get them delivered when my wife isn’t at home but then my postie always says, when he hands me yet another parcel, “that’ll be be for the bike then!”

The whizz wheel works also with the Sena SRL Mesh (which is the latest variant of the custom designed unit for some Shoei Helmets, especially the Neotec II)

Just got a 1250 GS Ultimate edition. This video is really useful. Interested to hear that you control music from the TFT and not the Zumo. Will try this as getting some issues with trying to do this directly from the Zumo. Keep up the good work.

I initially had issues with my gas cap, but after trying it with the key in my hand and holding it close to the gas cap, pull the button and it works fine,

Hey gsd, thanks for the vid. I followed it through, as I have the 23 GS Trophy & immediately after taking purchase, did quite a few things for it to fit me. Ad note: on your fork tube where you put the helicopter tape, I did one better for me so I can cut down noise. I had taken a piece of kydex 7"T x 12"W, that fits across fork tube with 2" to wrap around each side, and heated the last 3" and shaped it using a 2" diameter can, and did both ends so as to wrap around fork tube on each side. I pre-drilled 4 holes each side & secured w ty-raps....just another take on tube protection & noise reduction. Also, I followed your cockpit cover vid & it went on in 45min. Thank you....wish I could send a pic of fork tube. Clean & unnoticeable.

Thanks👍🏻 the sena 50 works with the volume setting of the 1250gs😉

Great bike, nice parts. What I can absolutely recommend is the Connect Cradle (in conjunction with the original navigation holder). Since then I've only used my smartphone with the BMW app.

I prefer the 3 light powered-on when breaking at the traffic light instead of the turn signal.

Thanks for this video. I swapped my 18 plate 1200 gsa in for a new 1200gs triple black today after watching I don’t know what to by first like a kid in a sweet shop I think I will try most of what you suggested funds willing thanks again

Regarding the shifter and blipper, I have found that the higher up the revs you are when going from 1st to 2nd, the smoother it is and regarding the blipper, some folk are unaware that the throttle needs to be completely closed when shooting down the gearbox, silky smooth for me and I have the exact same bike as you. Just a heads up. :) Bike looks mint :)

Great Piece of Content.....S.F.A.

Great Vid. Ive the same bike but with cast wheels and agree with you on a lot of the additions. Im going to check out the bar end weights. I went with the Givi quick release pannier system which works in a very similar way, i had Givi cases from my previous bike. Like you, i would delete/switch off the multi function indicators, mates have said they are difficult to see. I wish BMW would offer a update to correct this. About the PR6 tyres, ive seen comments on the Crosstourer and Super Tenere sites complaining of the bike pulling to one side.

Beautiful bike and I'm so ready to order one or something similar. My biggest fear is I've spoken to many people who eventually feel these large adventure bikes are too big and heavy. They tell me it's just easier to jump on their smaller bikes and head out. I have some decisions to make....I don't want to lay out the $$$ just to have the things sit in the garage once the newest wears off. They are beautiful!

Thanks for the video. Did you change the original skid plate, I couldn’t figure out if you told about it.

Interesting. I have the Bridgestone Battlax tires on my Triple Black, and it pulls to the right - from new. I'll get it checked out under warranty. It had its first service about 2 months ago.

Love your channel.. top ❤. But i understand you very Well. It takes a lot of time you make such good videos. And..... You only live once. So enjoy live. And enjoy your motor bike. ♥️♥️♥️💪💪💪

Hallo, I've installed the cockpit cover too, hoping to reduce the noise coming from that huge "hole". Does not work in that sense, just nice to see. Only issue is you cannot easily use USB receptacle on the right, because of the USB cap in the way, I will try to lift the USB port with a spacer, realized with my 3D printer. By the way I have Bridgestone Battlax tires, and the bike pulls to the right, no hands driving. Great video👍

great vid. agree on most. did you have to remap for the sc exhaust or just popped it on?

Thanks for the review. Interesting things mentioned. I also feel vibration at handlebar and didn't know about Evotech Bar End Weights, will try it. I see there is some head protection installed on your bike, can you please help what is that? I also have option 719 cylinder heads and all popular cylinder head guards brands told me that they don't support option 719, even BWB one doesn't fit to option 719

It’s easy to go crazy with add ons. I bought a Chinese light mount to add some driving lights. Had to tweak them but they work. I have a different one on order though. I used a set of single row Rigid Industries SAE driving lights. Since I already had them. Put on the AltRider skid plate. Beefy. Just found a set of OEM black panniers. I could have went with some other brand and saved money…but I hate all the extra keys. I did buy a Chinese center pannier and it works, but I had to add a different plate to the original back mount plate. So got a good deal on some new BMW panniers and bought them. Dangit. I added another battery tender plug for the left side because I have Harley Davidson heated under gear already. All plugs on the gear are on the left side. Some things you can cheap out on and some you can’t. I did get a mud guard for the back from China and it had a screw to mount it to the upper inner guard rather than just zip ties. Went with the Hexcan instead of the Denali. Same company but some differences. Mainly price. Got a mini soundbomb horn coming. Eh. Headlight protector. Mine didn’t come with the adaptive headlight nor the heated seats, but the full, out the door price was $24,600. Adventure model. I did find one that had the new headlight and heated seats but it was almost 3 grand more. I can live without those. But after all of it, if I did it again, I’d have got the GS low version instead of the regular GSA! I do like the extra tank capacity but I mean I rarely go off road so the low version would have been good enough for the highway. And stopping a bit more with a lesser capacity fuel tank is nothing new. Thanks for the video! Loved it!

Great video and much appreciated. Can I ask which denali mounts on engine bars are they, not sure on diameter . (My bike arrives next week, so cant measure)

Thanks for another great video! Question about the axle / rear sliders- do you think it's necessary to get the big one for the rear as well? I see that big one is quite expensive. Wondering if it's worth it- thanks!

hi thanks for nice review, please lt us know what panniers and top box you use?

I see you did the dash cover as well. I just helped a buddy install that. Getting the supplied spanner wrench around the usb port was tricky

Check out Jeckyl and Hyde exhaust for the GS. There is a few videos out there. Deep sound that you can flip a switch and quiet it down to factory stock. Neet item

Very interesting you should mention your bike veering to the left, and having to counter it with your body position. Same thing for me on my 1290 Super Adventure with Road 6's.

Very informative. Where did you get the frame infills from, the ones that cover the shock area. Thanks.

BMW did a recall on those Hayes calipers, they're leaky, from the factory.... with Brembos. See if it's covered under warranty, ASAP

Great videos. May I ask what Torque wrench brand you use ? And the Nm rating ?

I have road 6 too on my 1200gsa. same pulling to the left. Next change - scorpion trails.

Break the bid... spin the tire 180 degrees and reseat it and rebalance. After that....replace the tire under warranty. Radial pull

Nice vid, looking to pick up a gsa next year. Wow, what area was u riding in absolutely stunning?

i like fron Brazil!!!

Btw I am sure that if the battery in the fob dies you can still start the bike via the rear mud guard sensor as you do with the plastic spare to start...

Nice vid! I believe the bike is balanced at the factory with a (heavier) stock exhaust. When you put on a much lighter exhaust you might have to compensate by leaning to the right? As an old Vespa rider I came to think of this as an explanation to your riding problem. Maybe there is an impact from the Road 6 too…

Whats the width of the bike with the SW Alu Panniers on...

beautiful dog in the background in your videos. I also have a long haired Old German Shepherd. dear, quiet, loyal family friends

Is the Michelin 6 good when cranked over? as your one, l'm guessing is fairly new on the sides and not been 'spanked'

I may not be able to afford watching your next videos 🤑 … just ordered more parts for my GS after watching this one. Wunderlich should do something about the frame plugs, I also lost one for obvious reasons, they do not have a proper fit. And I did put some electrical tape on the others to hopefully prevent them from falling off. All great accesories, would love to add the cameras but that addition is in fact expensive 😩 Safe riding.

Nice dogs

Will the Denali D2 lights fit on the BMW mount . So in another words can you just slap on the D2's.

Very nice video and love the options you have added. I’m curious why you chose the GS instead of a GSA for the extra travel? Cheers.

just subbed to the channel because of the home security devices you have lol want to see more of them. If u broke into my house my dally would put the kettle on. When u swapped from the Karos 3 do u still have them steve

There are various opinions about the utility of the cockpit cover - several reviewers claim that it doesn't significantly reduce wind or road noise. What's your experience? Is the benefit purely aesthetic?

what are you using for a camera mount on your helmet?

Did you get to the bottom of the front tyre issue. I'm thinking of switching to Michelin 6s. Hard to believe Michelins would be unbalanced in some way.Shame about your quickshifter not blipping on the way down, mine does. (2019)

Hey GSD, i have the same problem with my Michelin road 6 tires, my motorcycle also pulls to the left. I also rode the stock anakees before this and never noticed it before. Greetings Gijsbertus

I also like the Michelin Road sceries more than what they mount in the factory. But why do you wait until the first service??? Then the tire is used. I ask the dealer to deliver the bike with the Michelin Road 6. They keep the (new) factory fitted tires and I only have to pay for the work.

Hello! I want to put the option 719 mirrors on my 1250 adventure but I have read that they vibrate a lot and you can´t see through them. They are very expensive and I wouldn't want to spend that much money and then be unhappy about them. Could you please help me with it? Many thanks!

Haven't read all of the comments, but the bike is possibly wandering to the left due to the camber on uk roads?

Does it still pull to the left hands off if you use cruise control ?

Your sena did you update the firmware? My 50S have to update the firmware then it work.

Have you thought about a ceramic coating ? Or other types of coatings.

Hey GSD, what are you doing with the other Denali sound bomb off the bike as you are getting a new one?

Hi Paul, nice bike Mate. I recently, with the aid of Messes Forder & Butcher bought a 2017 R1200GS in white with only 2k on the clock. Very happy with it. In your video I notice the 'cockpit fairing infill but you don't mention it. I have found them on Ebay but they won't post to Jersey. Any ideas? Keep up the good work Mate. Salut Clive. 👍

Try pirelli scorpion trail 2, I have them they are fairly decent.

I wouldnt recommend the option 719 case covers, my bike had a drop, and the cover got slightly damaged...... But the destruction it did to my cylinder heads, the 719 covers because there billet thick aluminum they transfer the blow to the cylinder heads. But it destroyed the cylinder head internals. The regular covers, because there weak they absorb the blow and get destroyed.

30:15 -- I wonder if you just cut / disconnect the brake wire and just leave the position light, turn signal and ground wires intact on each of the indicators... would that throw a CANBUS error or something up on the TFT? It would certainly be alot cheaper than to replace them with those ugly weiser indicators to fix the issue of the indicator light not being visible when the brake light is on. 34:19 -- I actually have the Sena SRL Mesh Intercom for Shoei helmets (I have the Shoei Neotec II) and I am happy to report that I can turn the volume up & down using the BMW wonder wheel! So it's not only BMW intercoms that work with it. I think the problem is that your Sena 10S is quite old (2016) and the bluetooth tech on the BMW is newer; let me explain: Your 2016 Sena 10S has bluetooth 4.1 while your 2022 BMW has bluetooth 5. I previously had the Sena SRL 2 and the wonder wheel didn't work with that and guess what, it had bluetooth 4.1, just like your 10S! My newer Sena SRL Mesh has bluetooth 5 and the volume works perfectly! It even pauses the song if you turn the volume down all the way to mute it, it's brilliant. The only downside is that if a mate tries to talk with you at a traffic light and you haven't put the bike in neutral, it's gets very bothersome trying to turn the wonder wheel down while also keeping the clutch pressed, but that's a first world problem right there 😅 Other than that, here's a list of accessories that I've currently put on my 2022 R1250 GS Adventure so far: (Product - Code) -------------------------------------------------- BMW Motorrad Navigator VI (ECE) - 77528355800 BMW All Weather Motorcycle Cover - 71607689674 BMW TFT Screen Protector Glass - 77522462777 BMW Aluminum TopCase - 77431539595 + 2x 77498544517 + 77448546808 + 77438543194 + 77498543224 BMW Aluminum Case, Left - 77411539593 + 3x 77498544517 + 77418543197 + 77498543224 BMW Aluminum Case, Right - 77411539594 + 3x 77498544517 + 77418543199 + 77498543224 Rubber PrecisionTech - RPT-GSM1T1 + RPT-GSM2T1 Wunderlich Luggage Net (TopCase) - 20572-200 Wunderlich Luggage Net x2 (SideCase) - 20572-000 Wunderlich Side Stand Enlarger - 43920-002 Wunderlich Tool Box - 41601-100 + 41602-002 Wunderlich Hand Guard Extension - 44940-005 Wunderlich Grip Puppies - 42320-000 Wunderlich Frame Plug Set 11-Piece + Tank Protection Bar Caps + Caps For Case Carrier - 42742-102 + 42742-312 + 42742-402 Wunderlich Crossbar, Black - 25037-002 Touratech Dual USB Plug-n-Play socket - 01-030-0084-0 Touratech Front Axle Crash Bung - 01-037-5507-0 Touratech ABS Sensor Protection, Front - 01-045-5005-0 Touratech Side Stand Switch Protector - 01-045-5105-0 Touratech Cardan Crash Bung - 01-045-5505-0 Touratech Cardan guard - 01-045-5500-0 Touratech Hub cap cover, Black - 01-045-5266-0 Puig Headlight Protector - 20814W Puig Racing Screen - 6487W + 7566N Puig Touring Screen - 6486W + 7566N Puig Multi-Adjustable Clip-On Visor - 6375W GIVI Tanklock 5L Tank Bag - GIVI-EA123 + GIVI-BF17 GIVI Ultima-T Waterproof 40L Cargo Bag - GIVI-UT803 GIVI Specific Tool Bag - GIVI-XS5112R MachineartMoto Avant - AV-12GS-LC MachineartMoto MudSling - MS-12GS-LC Motografix - TB051WBR + KB035LCRC + BTI001W Alaska Leather Medium Sheepskin Buttpad, Natural Long Hair

Did the bike track straight with the OEM tires?

With all that added to the bike, your bike must weigh an absolute ton. Not sure who would take their expensive and heavily accessorized BMW tractor off road, I know you said you didn't but would consider it.

Morning Nice informed vid I have very similar extras on my GS However if there is a potential issue with front wheel balancing then certainly get it looked at,but why would you want to ride with no hands on the bars at 40 mph irrespective of what others do stood on the pegs or not. Unless your a stunt rider which you're probably not. Your bike is a beauty as is mine but keep your hands on the bars. Just my opinion

To utilise the down-shift blipper you must have 0% throttle, not 1% or 5%, 0%. Try it out and I think you’ll rethink your thoughts on it. Also on the quick-shifter between first and second you can use it if you have low throttle percentage and low revs and it’ll be fine. They aren’t the best though admittedly.

Just change road 6 to road 5 and you wil not have any problems with the handling 3 of us had the same problem with road6 on gs and rt as welss

with the Zumo xt installed you lose some functions of the wizard wheel.

I am currently in the market for a big adv bike and this is a common note for both MG and Bmw boxers and I have a theory that it has to do with the gyroscopic forces created by the engine spinning perpendicular to the direction of travel. I think about that science experiment where you sit in a chair that can spin and hold a spinning tire, then rotate the tire and you begin spinning in one direction or the other. Just a theory. You also have the idea that the engine is trying to spin the bike around the crank and that is why you feel a slight pull in a left direction. It’s tough because I have an all Harley family and they are trying to point out things that could bother me about the bike. When you hands are on the bars, do you still feel it pull or is it just hands free?

Why would u take your hands off the H/B at 40 mph, lol!

The guys at Ridercamtv have said the same thing about the tyres. Least you will know it’s not the bike.

I don't think you can say "man cave" and "cup of tea" in the same sentence.

Left testy is to heavy m8 😂

You know they have medication for this type of obsession.

Not sure if you have seen this yet from RiderCamTV, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OAZuhEG1R8Q.html. He had the same issue with the Road 6 tyres on the GSA. He fitted the Dunlops and the issue went away, clearly the Road 6 tyres causing the problem!

I did a very similar video a month or so back I used prety much the same bits check it out

Lots of chatter about the multifunction indicators, yet nobody has been able to provide a scenario in which indicating and being stationary has caused an issue. And hopefully we all have the good road skills to indicate in good time before braking. It's a non-issue yet seems to have some folks slavishly modding their bikes needlessly.

You obviously are way more wealthy than us peasants in the real world do you still have the KTM 890r? How long before your putting this under a tarp?

regarding the quick shift I feel that BMW is insulting and show a lack of respect for the GS customers because that is not a quick shift, maybe in another century but certain not on the modern times , shame on BMW. The myth call "front light", why every body spend money buying front light protection ? do you have front light protection on your car? do you see other cars with front light protection? rally cars ? but even so, why people like you are buying this ugly "protectors" , for 30€ you get your front light protect by special 3M film and keep the original front light shape . TFT another myth, protecting from water ? its waterproof mate, scratching ? very difficult well protected . Hole frame, 5€ from Alibaba they have been in my bike for 4 years, a fortune elsewhere .

90% of your upgrades are useless.

Good clip, but 26 mins too long. Too much useless talk. Not concentrating on the subject.
