R1200GSw Bodywork and Tank Removal and Installation 2013+ 

Thanks so much for posting this. You saved me a lot of time figuring out the right order to do things in.

Many thanks. Had to replace tank on my 2013 GS LC. Super-handy info!

The beak would be the first thing to go.👎👎

Great Video! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Hello Super good video ❤ Now maybe can you help me . We hace 3 bmw with my brothers , and now one r1200 gs start with a electrical problem. This one no sleep and stay on 0.1 amp . If you pay attention when you shut of the engine , over 1 minute and nothing the sistem eléctric sound 2 times . One principal rele . And another one click of something behind the battery. May you or some body tell me what unit is that? This one in the other gs1200 same year make a noise and sleep . In this one we haven’t got that noise and don’t sleep . I appreciate a lot if you can help me Thanks Gabriel

I can not get the tank cover to go back on cleanly. The rubber grommets just won’t engage leaving the cover and 1/8” above the mating surface with the side covers. I even loosened the gas fill because it looked slightly off center. Any tips for getting this cover back on? Do you recommend putting the grommets on the pegs and then assembling? Thanks.

hello ,oi have 2017 r1200 gs without front gears and i need somoen to help me in defining what i need to get -can anyone help ,i can send photo

Hey there ! for the lowered side panels the ones you getting out at 2:52 do i have to remove the top plastic fuel tank cover in order to remove it ? thanks

Thanks for the video! Question: I noticed that there are four different types of screws, three different T25s and the one T30. Well, I screwed up by not taking note of which type goes where, aside from the T30 which is the obvious one, where can I find the list of the screws placement?

This is atrocious! I'm so disappointed in BMW; they've shifted focus from field-serviceable machines to Japanese style contraptions that are designed with dealerships in mind. I have an R1150R Rockster, you could work on it in the open country with the included tool kit. This thing has a thousand screws to get at the littlest thing. Beautiful and powerful machines, make no mistake but the design philosophy is a travesty!

Very good infor here. Thank You.

@jimvonbaden: Hello Jim, I hope you are doing fine. I admire your work. I see you took both the 2013-2016 and the 2017-2018 R1200 GS apart. I came up with the idea to do a nice winter project. I would like the complete fairings of the 2017-2018 model on my 6-2016. Do you know if this is possible? I think the frame, engine, tank, fork and radiators are the same. I look forward to your response. thanks in advance! Greetings, Glenn

Thanks!

Awesome vid, the pinch pin had me stubbed while installing SW-Motech radiator guards....problem solved. Thank you sir.

Very imformative and just what I needed, thanks

Many thanks Jim, very didactical and useful! :-)

Bei der Verkleidung: Alle Schrauben sind T25 bis auf die eine, die man mit an schlechtesten einsehen kann ... die is T30. Aber die ist auch die einzige Schraub, die länger ist als die T30. Wobei die T25 Schrauben zwar alle gleiche Länge haben, aber gleich unterhalb des Schraubenkopfes ist bei allen noch ein Stück ohne Gewinde dran, dass aber unterschiedlich lang ist .... Wer denkt sich denn sowas aus? Besten Dank für das Video. Damit werd ich die Tage dann einen neuen Versuch wagen ...

Thanks very happy

Thanks Jim. I have a question. If I need to modify my GS to GSA. Can I swapping GSA tank to my GS? I worried some trouble of electrical concerns. Can you advise me ,please?

My tank center trim peice has had a gap on the right side ever since i took it to have it wrapped. I think they warped it with a heat gun.

Awesome! Can't wait to do fall wiring projects!

very nicely done. Thanks. No felt between the tank and the body on the GSw as on the GSAw?

excellent this has helped me a lot

Thanks very much Jim. I'm installing a CANsmart wiring harness on my R1200GS and your video was immensely helpful! Good on you for filming it.
