BMW K1600 Ignition Coil Replacement 

Cheers Tony, just had a coil fail (my second) mine is #4. Thought i'd watch your video as a reminder. Great video.

Thanks for this. I'm getting ready to replace coil #6 (far right as you sit) on my GTL. I had gotten to the point of having the fairings off and being able to unplug the coil, but contrary to what I'd read, you can NOT get #6 out without removing the radiator. I wasn't prepped for that that day, so..... It's been firing codes periodically since then, but overall, still love the bike. Great ride!

Thanks Tony. Spraying some lube on the rubber parts of that air tube did the trick! My wife thinks we're related after she heard your commentary! 😂 Hope the RM Stator coils last longer than the OEM

This is a lot of help on how to R&R my ignition coil. Thank you, Tony, who does stuff! I'm a subscriber as of now on your channel!

Very informative. I'll be watching the fairing removal video next. Got a #5 to replace soon.

very helpful, thanks. I have had an intermittent fault/misfire for the past few months. I asume it's one or more coils. I have a GS 911 but haven't tried it yet. Your video will come in super handy!

Cool man,,, nice job. Thanks for your time and letting others know we can do this.

This is a pretty darned good video! Thank you. The only thing I would have done different, I might have replaced all those coils. Apparently it's a known issue and OEM coils are over-the-top expensive.

Great video, they sure made it a pain to change the coils on these bikes. My K1200R Sport has a near identical assembly, and to get to the coils I also have to remove the radiator. I'll refer to this video if and when the time comes. The bike only has 7000 miles, so it will be a while, Cheers from Texas!

OK my brother I appreciate it. That’s what my intention was to do anyway, have a blessed day.

Thank you, Tony! Excellent information. I know you must have considered replacing all six coils simultaneously. I have heard that once one goes they all go sooner rather than much later. Your thought on that would be appreciated.

Thank you Tony for your valuable video on this subject. Started this job tonight. Mine is running worse and worse over last year, still no check engine though. Wondering if i have corroded coil or plug causing it. Anyway bought 6 rm stator coils and ngk plugs. Not messing about once in there. Packed up for the night at point of removing the secondary air tube. Started tug on it with tyre spoons. Been scouring the internet for tips, not many around. Tempted to go at it with wd40 and hot air gun, before trying again?! Also cannot work out how to remove the radiator cap, but wondering now if you need to loosen it then push down and turn to undo it the rest of the way? Might allow the stop position in the cap to clear the plastic interference? Interesting job this one.

Fill the reservoir, open the cap just to brake the seal and the coolant will go in, once filled and just tighten the radiator cap back and refill the reservoir.

Nice job. I know you saved a bundle doing it yourself. That's the best way. You know it's done right. Question, was the check engine the first indication of a problem or did you feel the miss?👍

I rode one of these, and it is a fantastic bike. However, the more I watch repairs on them, the less I want one.😂

Heard good reports on the RM Stator coils for only $70 vs OEM at around $250

LOL. Hiccups aside you are my kind of mechanic. Great video. I do stuff too...

Appreciate the video. Just a heads up, check steel if it is stainless steel with a magnet is not the correct way. One can actually have magnetic ss.

Six cylinders, 3 has to be middle. No troubleshooting required

Hello Tony, how is the coil of rmstator holding up? What is the cost of rmstator compared with the original one? Great job Greetings

have you had any trouble with new coil yet???? i am going to replace all 6 and plugs thanks

Tony, prepare to disassemble it once again.. once one coil goes bad, over a period of 6 months the others will fail.. It’s a known fault with those coils. Good luck mate

I have a question my friend. Where are you located? I’m in Florida.

How is the RM Stator Coil holding up? I've heard mixed reviews on their longevity.

Hello Tony, how are you doing? My name is Eric a.k.a. Hollywood I am a new member of the Bmw family. I have a 20 12 1600 GTL I just purchased this in a month ago I love the bike I have another bike which is on the boulevard M109. It’s a bad ass bike but as far as long-distance riding my wife and I enjoy the BMW, I’m not much of a mechanic so I have to rely on bringing the bike to my mechanic but there are only certain things he can do. He doesn’t have the computers because he doesn’t work on BMWs a lot. The check engine light has come on on several occasions, my question is do I only have to replace the one coil that’s going bad if I get the one that you had or do I need to replace all six it is a 2012 and I’m trying to make it as new as possible and it only has 45,000 miles

Great Great Great !!!

Hello friend, at the end which is the order of coil numbers? Coil#1 is on the side of coolant reservoir (right of handlebar)? Thank younfor the video

Tony your video's are top notch, thanks for sharing!

How many miles on the bike??? Coil go bad

Secondary Air Tube, not Positive Crankcase Ventilation

أتمنى أن تخبئ شعرك في الحلقة القادمة 😊❤

Replace all 6! You never replace one of anything when it requires that much work to tear it down
