Weiser Technik Extreme EVO Installation Guide BMW R1250GS / Step by Step How To Guide 

Hello Rottie and welcome to the channel. Thank you for your positive comments 👍best wishes Carl and I hope you enjoy the installation

Hello Ron and thank you for your kind comments. I do hope you have fun with your new 23 GS. Winter has arrived here in Germany so I'm already looking forward to spring in February/March. Best wishes Carl

Hello Nigel, and welcome to the channel. Glad to hear the installation guide was helpful and thank you for feedback 👍 Very much appreciated. Enjoy your new indicators Best wishes Carl

Hello Stan, good morning, thank you for your feedback 👍. Best wishes Carl

North American install guide is now Available. Episode 16 on the channel. Regards Carl

Hi Andy, good morning, it was nice to meet you at the ABR festival and I’m delighted to hear your installation was successful 👍. See you next year 🙋🏻‍♂️ Kindest regards Carl

Hi Daniel ✌️thank you for sharing I don’t think many viewers understand how bright they are, and they are an amazing safety and visibility upgrade. I love the now clear visibility on the rear when I’m indicating and the front white is as you have found… a major improvement. Which setting did you prefer on the rear ? Option 1 or 2 Carl

@@justthewayitis I prefer the stock option and the one you recommended, the indicator going to just flash when signalling. IMO these are a much better investment for folks looking at adding additional lights for visibility/safety reasons. Looks factory and more than bright enough.

Hi Daniel, thank you 🙏 Enjoy your indicators 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi Nate, thank you, glad to hear you have had a successful installation. They are great lights and really do improve safety and visibility. Wishing you a happy fun season ahead, regards Carl

Hi Robert, good morning and thank you for your feedback and comments 🙏. Yes I agree that BMW should have done a better job with the rear lights, the 1300 is even worse 🫣 Well done for your successful installation, kind regards Carl

...Great bike, but those orange lights on all the time and no red tail light always seemed a bit daft... luckily Weiser Technik have saved us..

Hi Steven, your very welcome 🙏 Best wishes Carl

You are very welcome 🙏 glad the video helped you. It was very nice to meet so many subscribers / viewers at the ABR show. Best wishes Carl

Hi Paul and welcome 🙏 I will send the invoice later🤞 I do hope you enjoy the new lights they make a big improvement. And well done for having a go at the installation, working on our own bikes can be very rewarding. Best wishes Carl

Hi Jerry Thankyou 👍. That’s great to hear, and I’m pleased the guide helped and I guess your pleased with the results. Best wishes Carl

Hi Jack , thank you 🙏 and welcome to the channel, glad to hear the installation guides helped you. They are great bright lights 👍 Best wishes Carl

...did you fit the wizard tail light module with the extreme evo indicators?

Yes I have 👍

hola JI, y gracias por tus comentarios, me alegro que te haya gustado el video. Mis mejores deseos Carl

Hi Rob, thank you 👍

Hello John Good morning and congratulations on your new GSA and your light installation 👍. Thank you for your feedback and kind words, much appreciated. Have a great Sunday Carl

Hello Chaban and welcome to the channel, thank you for your feedback and I’m pleased you enjoyed the installation guide. Brilliant lights much better than OEM, best wishes Carl

Hi Nickolas, thank you for your feedback and I’m glad to hear it was helpful during your installation. Kind regards Carl 🙏

Hi Popeye, glad to hear you have successfully installed your new indicators from Weiser, and good to hear the video was helpful. Yes there are many other techniques for better wire connections and it’s good to hear you have done this work. Please forward your thoughts to Weiser-Technik so that they know an improvement in plastics is a 👍 idea 💡. Best wishes Carl

Hello Eric, welcome to the channel and thank you for your feedback 👍 Kindest regards Carl

Hello Harvey, good evening. Thankyou for your feedback. The episode took several weeks to put together and a lot of hours editing it... so I am pleased owners are finding it useful. Have fun with your installation best wishes Carl

Hi Alex, glad to hear you have been pleased with your Weiser Technik light kit, as you have seen they are so much brighter front and rear... but those super bright front DLR'S are indeed brilliant... Thankyou for your feedback on the installation guide, and well done for using your ezCAN system to reduce installation time Best wishes Carl

Hi Derek, thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it... it is too long but it does cover everything you need to know. Best wishes Carl

Hi Luke and thank you for your comments and subscribing. The videos take a huge amount of time to produce but I know a lot of owners enjoy learning more about how these amazing bikes work. Best wishes Carl

Good morning Michael, you’re very welcome 🙏 and I’m pleased so many owners found the installation guide useful. They do make a big difference to visibility 😉 Best wishes Carl

Hi Scott, thank you and I hope you have fun fitting your light kit. Its really straightforward. Best wishes Carl

Hi Daniel, thank you for your kind words. It’s nice to know viewers enjoy and learn from them. Have a great week Best wishes Carl

Hello Cornamuck thank you, and I’m pleased to hear the installation guide has been of help and assistance. Best wishes for the riding season ahead. Kind regards Carl

Hello Richard, yes the installation is strangely a nice experience and if approached with time , can be very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your experience glad to hear the guide helped 👍 Kindest regards Carl

Good Evening Nigel, congratulations on your successful installation, it's actually a nice feeling to complete the installation and see the benefits of your work, especially on your own bike, have a great weekend, Carl

Hi Hawkslayer, that would be nice 👍 I would really love to have a one to one with the BMW engineers in Berlin and ask them some questions about the 1300GS development… so if you know anyone that can arrange that for the channel …… that would be better than a million subs. With a smile.. Carl

Hi Peter, thank you and I hope you have everything you need to install your lights. Best wishes Carl

Hi Andy, thank you for your feedback and I'm pleased the guide helped. Well done for having a go and doing the work yourself, lots of owners are still hesitating about the install, but it is a fairly simple job. Wishing you a fun season on your new bike. Kindest regards Carl

Hello PGG, thank you for your feedback and welcome to the channel. Have fun with your installation 👍 Regards Carl

@@justthewayitis lights are on order Carl and your video poised 😁 I’m running out to Bulgaria in early June for the summer, this year I will run solo so really felt I should have proper visibility. A pair of bikes has a bit more presence so this year being alone I want to stand out like a mobile airport 😂

Lol… well they most certainly help with visibility and improve safety while on the busy roads. Carl

Your welcome 👍😊

👍🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi Martin, thank you for your kind words 👍. March is not far away, spring is coming very soon. I can imagine your excited... smile Carl

Hi Stephen thankyou for letting me know and I'm pleased to hear you have a successful installation. Yes the lights are indeed really bright, it's not easy to see this in the video, but now you can experience them first hand. Well done for doing it yourself I hope other owners will find the confidence to do this upgrade at home. Thankyou again.. Best wishes Carl

Hi Dan, glad to hear you are happy with your Weiser Lights and the installation guide was useful. Yes the team at Weiser are very friendly and helpful. Best wishes for 2024 Carl

Hi Mike and welcome to the channel, thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes Carl

Hi Mark, your very welcome 👍

Finally, fitted the Weiser Tech lights today. Installation was easy using your video. What a difference they make. Was sad to replace the stock indicators as they look great, but they are no match for the performance and functionality of the Weisers. It will be so good to be able to brake whilst indicating with confidence now. Thanks for putting us on to these lights Carl.

Hi Mark, quite a few subscribers have installed these lights this weekend and everyone seems very happy with the big light improvement. I am pleased the installation guide helped. Congratulations on your new lights. Carl

Good morning, good to hear you have completed your installation, and the install guide helped. Wait till your friends see them 😊 Best wishes Carl

Glad to hear you found the installation guide helpful, and yes the lights are a huge improvement over the originals which are very confusing. Your comment about the housing has been mentioned before, and this feedback has been given back to Weiser-Technik. I believe in the future they will redesign the housings... but they are waiting to see what BMW do with the new GS1300. Currently from what i have been told, the UK -Europe bikes will no longer have a tail lamp assembly and we are going to get the same multifunction confusing lights as before, which is not good news... North America will still get the tail light assembly, so for them it is good news... But we have to wait and see what exactly we do or don't get kindest Regards Carl

Hi Gabe, thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed the episode. Have a good week. Regards Carl

Hello Christian and congratulations on getting the installation finished and working on your bike. I know you had some concerns but its great to hear everything is now working and looking great. Thankyou for your Christmas wishes... the same for you and your family. Kindest regards Carl

Hi Rikky, I think this is one setup that will look really great on the R model, especially the bright DLR'S on the front. Good luck with the installation. Carl Ps, your exhaust upgrade looks good 👍 its certainly a nice looking end can. Is it a full system or just the tail can ? Carl

Hi Chris, and welcome to the channel, thankyou for your feedback. I hope you find the guide useful. Best Wishes, Carl

@@justthewayitis it is. I actually work in a Motorrad workshop and was doing research before some customers want these fitted. It's such a good video that nobody should feel uncomfortable doing it themselves. Good work Carl

Your customers are going to be very happy the lights are brilliant 👍 Lg Carl

Hello Mike, good morning and congratulations on your installation, well done for having a go yourself. So many owners think about it and then decide not to try, which is a shame as their brilliant lights. I hope you now enjoy the extra visibility and clarity they provide. Which mode did you use on the rear modules? 1 or 2 Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis Hi Carl, like yourself I prefer the “no chance of confusion” mode 1, however, that was the one minor issue I have, even though I set the jumper to mode 1 on both rear indicators, the outside(right) one continues to operate in mode 2. It’s a bit odd and I double checked the jumper was in the correct position. I have a ticket with Weiser Technik, I’m sure they will help me sort it. I am though delighted with the bright and clear functionality. The indicator function is so much brighter than the running lights I can see that even in mode 2 the chance of any confusion is eliminated. Note: I did initially forget to set the jumpers to mode 1 and initialised/tested the system in mode 2, so possibly this confused things. UPDATE: Went for a ride, stopped after about 30 Km to reset the date/time after having the battery disconnected. Checked the rear indicators while stopped and both now working correctly in Mode 1, 🙂

Hi Mike glad to hear they function correctly and like you mode 1 is the option I prefer and as you highlighted they are SO much brighter Have a great weekend Carl

Hi Russell, good morning and thank you for your feedback. Yes the Weiser-Tech indicator upgrade makes a really big improvement to visibility and safety. like you, I think owners should think about doing this. BMW really need to find a better solution and from what I have been told the new 1300GS does not have a rear lamp / lenses unit anymore!!! All functions are being done through indicators. I really hope this is incorrect news but we have to wait and see. Carl

Hi Mark, good morning 👍 it’s great to hear you have had a successful Easter weekend on your bike. They do look great don’t they, so very different from the OEM mess that comes on them from new. Thank you for your feedback on the installation guide, it’s seems to have helped lots and lots of owners get the lights installed correctly. Best wishes and happy summer riding Carl

Hi Carl, in your step by step guide, if I have only installed the front indicators, is there anything in that process that would stop the rear light coming on when I put the main lights on, everything works works great apart form that., cheers Mark

Hi Mark, if you have just installed the front kit there is nothing that interferes with the rear lights. Just remember that some models only have a brake light function in the central tail light and do not have a side or running light within the unit. Can you describe your problem more accurately please 🙏

@@justthewayitis Hi Carl, Apologies, Wiesner have just phoned me and stupidly I hadn't realised that BMW have taken the running functionality out of the rear light as it acts as just a break light, I may need to look at my bike more closely

Ok no problem glad it’s resolved 👍

Hi Jay good morning I’m pleased you are happy with your installation and the Weiser lights do look great 👍. Using a CanSmart does make the installation a bit easier, your setup sounds great and I have been thinking about the B6 brake light for my GS Thank you for sharing and your positive kind words about the install guide Best wishes Carl

​@@justthewayitis hi do you need a cansmart for this install or can you do without I don't plan to add any other assessories. Cheers stuart

Hi Stuart, everything you need is supplied in the kit. You don’t need a hex or Denali smartCan a system. Some owners already have them so in that case they use the them as it’s already connected to the bike system. The Weiser system comes with everything you need, easy to install. Best wishes Carl

Hi Carl. Thank you for your quick reply and as always very informative. Cheers Stuart

Your welcome 🙏

Hello and welcome to the channel and thank you for your feedback ✌️. Yes capturing lights on video is hard to do and I tried several different ways to show the brightness of the Weiser-Technik lights…. So I’m pleased your happy with your work and the final result. The other thing that owners sometimes forget, is to put the fuse back in once the work is all finished… smile Wishing you a great season ahead with your new super bright lights. Best wishes Carl

Hi Greg, first congratulations on your new GS and I hope you have lots of fun and great adventures on the GS. Thank you for your feedback on the videos they do take many many hours to put together, which I enjoy but it’s a lot of work . Yes the lights are great my riding buddies absolutely hated following me on tour with the OEM lights, but now they are very happy . Option 1 is the only way to ride safely… for me at least Kindest regards Carl

Hi Chris, good evening and thank you for your feedback 🙏, sorry for delayed reply I’m currently back in the Uk filming some episodes. Your extra idea is great and I’ve asked Weiser to add this in their kits some months ago, I’ll remind them again. Thanks for taking the time to leave a message, and enjoy your new indicators. Kindest regards Carl

Following on from the above. I have run the front to back black wire Iside the expanding conduit that comes on the main loom with the relay and then used small conduit everywhere else. I also tucked the cut off Gey and yellow wires back inside the expanding conduit so all nice and secure and hidden away.. Simply push the conduit together front to rear and it expands, creating loads of room for extra wires and then pull it back tight. I reckon this has taken me 4-5 hours constantly stopping to watch the video.

@rokraider your solution sounds great and well thought out. Well done ! Just so you know in case you ever want to fit a camera system or radar unit, the Weiser relay is rated at 3A, I’ve used it for additional switching with ignition on. Best wishes Carl

Hi Tim, brilliant... excellent news, so pleased you had a go and got it sorted. And thank you for your feedback. I tried doing the installation several different ways, ultimately decided on what you see in the video. Glad you remembered the fuse... lol, easy to forget. I can imagine you were not happy at that point... until you realized the problem. Yes they are soooooo... much better than oem and really BMW should sort that out and improve this for the next version. Have a nice weekend Congratulations Well done 👍 Carl

Hi Mark, waiting for your new bike to arrive feels like ages… but it will arrive soon 😊 . Yes the lights are great and I’m really happy with them. Best wishes and good luck in 2 weeks time Carl

Hi Topter, great to hear you have been enjoying your installation 👍, they do look great and are super bright. Sorry to hear one of the tabs broke off…but good to see a replacement is on its way. Did you ring Weiser ? Or just order a replacement on the website? I ask, because normally they just send you one FOC. Which mode did you choose on the rear PCB during installation? Kind regards Carl

Hi Carl, For the replacement part I emailed Debbie, who organised it for me. I bought the EVO unit from a friend who decided not to fit it to his bike. I'm thinking that might be the reason I was charged for the lens 🤷‍♂️ I went for option A, so that the running/brake lights are off on the side indicating. I think that is the best solution. I'm impressed with the brightness of the lights, but the true result won't be known until I get out on the road. It's still winter here in north east Scotland and a bit chilly for getting out and about.

Ah, now I understand, thank you. Same here, we had snow and ice for seven weeks, then it warmed up to + 4 and now rain every day 🙄, but spring is coming … Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍 Best wishes Carl Option A is my favourite too

I did a couple of videos to compare the before with after, if you're interested to see them? Let me know, and I'll post my email address. Either way, thanks for the instructions, I'm now a subscriber. Mike.

Hi Mike, yes please .... send me an email with the links, that would be great Carl

Hello Bigdog, thank you for your comments. I'm sure your going to be fine once you get the information from Weiser. Just go slow... and make sure the garage is warm. Lol. Best wishes Carl

I too am waiting to see how this install works with the HexCan/SmartCan. I wish the overall install was more plug-n-play with the HexCan/SmartCan

@@CarlosThomas I still have no reply from Weiser on my question. Little surprised it is taking this long. I thought they would be quick hoping we all share. maybe soon.

Hi Carlos , I have spoken with the Weiser team and they will get back to you. My understanding is they have now purchased a CanBus interface module so that they can install this on one of their test bikes. Once they have established the best way to install their product with an CanBus system they will release some additional instructions for owners like you that wish to use both systems. It may take them a little time to do this but they will have additional instructions soon. I hope this helps... best wishes Carl Carl

@@justthewayitis I contacted them to see if they had installation services. I have the Denali CANSmart system installed on my bike. They could have used my bike as their “test bike” to make video, but they said that they do not have install services and pointed me to a local dealer in the Bay Area.

Hi Gavin, welcome to the channel and your very welcome 🙏 Best wishes Carl

Thank you 🙏 I will reply tomorrow 😉

Email sent ! 👍

Hi Rick, thank you 🙏 I hope you enjoy your lights and have fun with the installation 🤙 Best wishes Carl

Thank you Andy 🙏

Hello Julio and welcome to the channel, good morning Brazil !!! Have fun with your installation it’s fairly easy to do, just take your time…. Best wishes Carl

Hi Paul, welcome to the channel and thank you for your feedback, it's an easy installation just take your time and follow the guide. Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis thanks Carl been watching for a while now. Can I ask what make the green handled ratchet torq screw driver you use, looks good quality and a useful bit of kit

Hi Paul, it’s a Snap-on ratchet driver which I’ve had for over 25 years. Still looks and functions like new. Amazing quality but at a premium price. Over the years I lost 4 snap-on black handle units until they came up with this colour idea…. I think the modern part number is SSDMR4BG available on eBay Around $80 or £65 depending on your location. If your in the uk just ring your local snap-on mobile dealer they can get them very quickly Hope that helps Carl

Hello 👋, thanks for the tip and glad you enjoy the channel 🙋🏻‍♂️ Regards Carl

Hi Martin the GSA is extremely popular here as you can imagine. All of the GS bike in our local bike club are GSA’s they love them. Thank for leaving a comment and your feedback, I still can’t speak good Deutsch even after being here for a good few years. I imagine yours is better 😉 Have a great Sunday Carl

Installation complete! I'd have definitely struggled, or it'd have taken me longer (much longer!) without your excellent video so once again, thank you. My bike is a 2016 GS Adventure which is why I guess there were some slight differences in the kit that was sent to me, however, I was still able to make sense of it because of the video, if not the included instructions .... Removing the extra Adventure panels for the first time was interesting. Putting them back on was a challenge, as was feeding the black wire from the battery are up to the front of the bike but a much longer cable-tie (another d#great tip of yours!) eventually got it sorted. I ordered 4 x of the smallest size units but was actually sent 2 x small and 2 x medium. Thankfully the mediums fit on the rear of the bike with just a couple of mm clearance from my panniers! Phew! What isn't in question is the excellent visual/safety improvement this kit provides! A couple of biker friends have been to see the end results and we all agree that the improvement is fantastic. Nochmals vielen Dank, mein Freund! 👍

Hi Martin Guten Morgen 😉 Sounds like you have had an enjoyable weekend installing your Weiser-Tech indicators, yes the adventure model is a little more difficult because of the panels and the earlier 2016 bikes are slightly different in terms of wiring connections. They are SO much better than the OEM ones ✌️ Thank you for letting me know how you got on with the installation. Which colour is your adventure? Greetings from Hessen Carl

@@justthewayitis Guten Tag, my bike is blue/silver combo BTW. Not exactly a 'tip' but I have just changed the mounting bolts for my indicators! 🤔 I recently heard of a group of bikers who went to watch the F1 practice at Silverstone UK. When they returned to their bikes, they'd been stripped of a number of items such as exhaust cans, satnav/phone mounts ... and particularly on the BMW's, the indicators. Worrying that this could happen in what you'd think was a fairly busy location. Anyway, taking into account the cost of this Weiser Technik kit, I looked at how to make them more secure. The only solution I could find was to change the mounting bolts for M6 x 16mm T30 Security Torx bolts all round. Certainly not foolproof but will hopefully lesson the chance of the new indicators being quite so easily removed. I'm off to watch the MotoGP a couple of times on the GSA next week so hopefully I still have my Extreme Evo's when I get back!

Hi Martin, that sounds like a terrible experience for owners returning to find parts stripped from there motorbikes. Sad to hear that… but you have a good solution to at least stop or slow them down 👍 We had our bike club tenting area robbed while we (our bike club) we’re watching MotoGP in Sachsenringe a couple of years ago. Cash and gear stolen 😞 Wishing you a fun season Carl

Hi Slip, that’s great news and the installation will be simpler using your Cansmart. Yes Mark and the team are very friendly and helpful. Let me know what you think of the lights once installed Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis Done the installation today. Really pleased. I ran the rear lights, via the Cansmart providing a straight 12v, and the front, using a different output as Fog lights. This enables me to dim the lights when the headlight is being used, but goes to full brightness when daytime lights are operative. Also goes to 100% brightness on full beam. The flash when you use the horn also works. 👍

Well done, that sounds like a really nice setup the you have explained it. Glad your happy 👍all we need now is warmer weather . Regards Carl

Hi Mo, thank you, I hope you have fun with your light installation, best wishes Carl

Lights installed. Very happy. Would not have been willing or able to do it without your video. Thanks!

Hello Mo, glad to hear you are very happy with your Weiser-Tech lights and that the installation guide helped. Ride safe, best wishes Carl

Hi Fred, thankyou for the feedback. I think that is what might happen. Weiser have been great, we talked about the schematics and instructions and I gave them some suggestions to help improve them so they are simpler and easier to follow. AND They have now updated them to include these, which is great. Have you ordered yourself a set yet ? Carl

@@justthewayitis Haven't ordered a set yet as I'm still waiting for my GS, but the Weisers will be one of the first changes to the bike once it arrives. I have the same concerns as you did regarding visibility and potential confusion to those behind me, and these lights look like a great solution. It's good to hear Weiser have made effective use of your feedback - they sound like a great company to deal with. Cheers

Hi Fred, thank you 👍, when does your new GS arrive... is it spring?

​@@justthewayitis It's due in Feb, but unfortunately the dealer says March is more likely. They offered me a great deal on an ex-demo Rallye they have on the floor, but I have other bikes so I'll wait for a new one (with the extra warranty)

Brilliant just in time for season 👍the extra warranty is worth it.

Hello Subman welcome to the channel and thank you 🙏 Regards Carl

Hi Christian, good morning. An easy way to check is just remove the rear seat and check the two indicator connectors (as shown in the video) they are the two inner most connectors and will be either 2 pin or 4 pin. If it's a North American built bike, it will be 2 pin. If it's a European bike and you currently have multifunction in the indicators (indicators and brake lights) you will have 4 pin connectors. If you only have indicators with no other function... they will be 2 pin. Hope that helps Carl

Hi Paul, thank you 👍 yes they are great tools to use. When I saw this colour more than 20 years ago, I knew I had to change from Black which I had lost several times. In fact it's more than 29 years ago. The Snap on Guy used visit every Friday afternoon and if I had earned a bonus that week I would immediately buy more tools.... lol 😊 Carl

Go to my channel and there on one of the information pages you will see my email 📧 address

Hi Geert, good evening, glad you had a successful installation 👍, and yes once your friends see them they may well want the same improvements. I doubt bmw will address the missing rear lamp assembly but I know Weiser are designing their own new version as I type, (spoke to them today) so I think a solution will be available in the new year. Thank you for your feedback, and yes more episodes to come for our 1250 bikes, best regards Carl

You will be fine, just take your time and work somewhere warm with good light. It is really straightforward, nothing tricky to do. I wish for you a successful weekend tinkering...😊

Hello, thank you I am pleased you enjoyed it and I hope it will assist you with your installation. Best wishes Carl

Im waiting for the North American version….when will you post it?

Hello, I am Currently editing the episode, so I hope to have it finished for the week between Christmas and new year's. Best wishes Carl

Sounds Good!

North American version now available. Regards Carl

Hi Guilermo and welcome to the channel. What function do you wish to control on the LED headlight? I will be making a HexEzcan install video in April/May time. Thank you for your feedback Regards Carl

Hi David, good evening, thank you, glad to hear you have completed your installation with your Denali setup. Carl 👍

Hi David, I plan on getting these lights and also have the denali cansmart. Would be interested to know if you just used a pigtail to provide the switched 12v supply, configuring the cansmart as an accessory circuit or whether you used the dedicated cansmart cabling and connected the weiser technik lights on cansmart indicator circuits (i.e. just like you would fit a front and rear set of denali t3 switchbacks)

Hi Mark, you could just call Mark at Weiser, he answers these questions every day and will help you in no time at all. UK or USA hotline. Best wishes Carl

Hi Mark! I have a Denali Cansmart Gen 2 with D7, B6 & Soundbomb using all four ports, so I freed the Soundbomb port by connecting the Soundbomb horn via a relay to the OEM horn. Then I reconfigured the Cansmart "horn port" to supply "12 V switched power". That way I can also use my only Cansmart as a PDU to supply the "charging station" in my topbox with power while on the move 👍. And my Innovv K3 dashcam also. 😎 Stay safe behind bars!

Thanks David, wow lots going on with your bike, sounds great 😊

Hi Chris, thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. Yes, the rear indicators can be fully assembled prior to install, fronts can be also fully assembled IF you decide to join all 3 black 12V wires using the posi-twist which then you mount under the headlight or an area you are happy with. ( Normally i place this connection inside the RH indicator ) Also, if you follow the video, installing the wiring harness first, followed by the front indicators, then refit everything that you have removed, this will allow the front to be fully completed on the bike in one short session. At this point you will have fully working super bright front indicators and you could then, on a separate day install the rear indicators and complete the install. This is how i might do it over two days. Evening before: Fully assemble both rear indicators. (follow video) Partially or fully assemble both rear indicators. Day 1 Install wiring harness (Fuse out) Put tape over ALL unused wires (the end of the wire where you can see the core) coming from the wiring harness. (this is for protection as wires will be live during the test) Install front indicators Connect 12V black wire from harness to both front indicators. (fuse in and test) Day 2 Remove fuse Remove tape placed on above wires install rear indicators (fuse in and test everything) Alternatively, if you have a friend with a garage, that would be simpler Regards Carl

Hello and welcome, send Mark at Weiser a quick email he will sort out any issue you might have and he is normally very quick, glad to hear you had a good installation 👍

@@justthewayitis I have indeed and Mark has a replacement unit shipped already this morning. Fantastic service!

Great to hear 👍🙏

Hello 2 Boldly Go and welcome, great to hear you joined the GS club, and I'm pleased to hear your enjoying your Rallye. My tank bag is an earlier version called the SW Motech Evo Engage... not sure if you can still get these but I wanted a smaller bag and to be able to add a Map bag on top while touring which I like to use in combination with the Navi-6. They do make a newer GS specific version called Evo GS, which one of our bike club members has, it's a bit bigger than the Engage version. Quality wise I've had no issues and the quick release works great it's just the perfect size for me, but others do like the bigger version. Best wishes Carl

Hello Martin glad to hear you have completed your installation successfully. Currently the fronts only operate white and then white Off while the indicator flashes.... But.... Smile Weiser are developing something that will do what you are suggesting. I'm unsure when it will be available but you will see the new product being installed on the channel once it's released, I can't say anymore. I hope you enjoyed installing the lights, it can be very rewarding when we do these installs at home. Best wishes Carl

Hi Correy, just ring Mark in the UK at Weiser, he understands this can happen and probably has, so I'm sure he will get some new cables shipped to you ASAP. Good luck with the installation. Carl

@@justthewayitis I just sent another email deeply apologizing fir my previous email and explained the issue. I hope they don't just send the harness needed and let me pay for it. Least I can do.

Ok, 👍

Yes 👍, see my other reply

Hi, good morning and welcome to the channel, no I don’t have a video about the hex system, you could email the team at Weiser I’m sure they can give you some help 👍 Carl

Thanks Carl. Already done that and Mark got back to me but nothing like seeing your videos as it is extremely detailed.

Thank you 🙏

Hi Warra, well done !! and good advice.... as you say great kit and really great performance. best wishes, carl

Warra, did you find much difference on the GSA compared to Carl's GS?

@@tsport6368 I watched “A Bike Thing” video of how to dismantle a GSA, its pretty much the same as the GS, you may need a rivet removal tool to remove the small plastic lug. I did strip the bike completely including the tank. It would of taken me 1/2 a day to do if i hadn’t dropped a screw and had to find it which took ages as it was sat on top of the engine under the fuel tank. I’m very pleased with how the lights look and work. If your thinking about it, go for it you wont be disappointed

Great question

Great answer and thank you for sharing 👍

Hi Max, Good morning. Thank you for your message and question. As i have mentioned in one of my videos i took my own R1250GS 2021 MY for a TÜV test (here in Hessen) last year and it passed without any problems. After the test was completed I then was completely open and honest with the two Motorrad TÜV staff members and showed them the changes that the Weiser indicator lights ( front and rear ) had made to the GS in terms of improving visibility both front and rear. They both then spent some time going through a very large technical guideline book reading the rules and regulations on lighting and decided that the only thing that officially they could object to was the on the rear of the bike, and that currently the laws prevents us motorcyclist having 3 separate rear tail lights. So I agreed to disconnect the additional Wizard module that I had used which re-activates the centre tail light. Once i had discounted this module they were happy. They did not object to the Weiser front indicators, because the WHITE light is on a separate circuit which is independent to the indicators. Basically the indicators still perform the legal requirement. BUT, when they are not indicating they perform a second function which is controlled by an independent control circuit, which is just the same as running any auxiliary light on the front of the bike. If what they ( your TÜV station) are saying is correct.... it would mean that no one here in Germany / Europe can fit extra accessory lights (for example a set of Denali spot lights, which everyone uses for extra visibility and in effect they are used as DRL) thousands of owners use these lights ""turned on all the time"", which means they are in affect Day light running lights. I am not a TÜV expert and the laws here in Germany are as you know are sometimes very complex, plus it seems the rules can be understood in several different ways. One TÜV station says they are ok and now your TÜV station says they are not ok. My bike passed the test.... your bike hasn't... which is very strange. Their are a lot of GS owners here in Germany that have fitted these kits and enjoy the extra safety and visibility they provide. You are the first GS owner to mention a TÜV problem on the front while using Weiser indicators. It would be interesting to know exactly which rule they believe the front indicators fail on ? perhaps you can ask them to give you the exact "quote" or "text" that says these are not acceptable and why ? You could also send a message to the Weiser-Technik team back in the UK and see if they have heard about this from any other riders here in Germany. I know here in Germany their are a lot of different rules and regulation that apply to ANY changes we make to our motorbikes and its sometimes very hard to get a 100% clear answer. Let me know how you get on Max... I am very interested to hear what rules they say your GS fails on. LG Carl - Hessen

@@justthewayitis Thank you very much for your quick response Carl. In the meantime, I have decided that unfortunately I will take the Weiser lights out and install the OEM ones. Without passing the inspection, I cannot ride, and that is more of an unwanted situation/problem. I agree with you, you ask ten TÜV inspectors and may get many different answers on what is and what is now allowed. I bought the lights because I want the extra protection that I believe they give me, but I do not want to make a big thing and simply be able to ride without problems. In the meantime I also contacted the support team, but their answer is simply being very surprised about my situation since they have sold thousands of sets in Europe and never encountered such a problem. So without any proper documentation on these lights being approved in Germany that I can present, I have no choice. Thanks again, I really appreciate you getting back to me so quickly. Safe riding now that the season has finally started, and greetings from Berlin.

Hi Max, I understand your decision, perhaps Weiser will exchange your EVO Extreme kit for the Wizard Module kit which you could use with the OEM setup. They turn off the amber lights at the front and improve functionality while indicating on the rear. I’m sure Mark at Weiser will take care of this, if you want to go this route. The rules are really difficult here !!!! So I understand the frustration. Carl

Hi Alexander, yes you can remove them easily. Just lift the end with screw first... and then wiggle the lense off at the angle I show in the video. I can understand that you might be concerned but they do come off... smile. Mine have been on/off many times... none have broken. Regards Carl

@@justthewayitis Ok, I'll wiggle a bit more 😄 About the right front: you feed through the 2 black wires and connect it to the 3rd with the blue twist block and put it inside the housing. Could you also not feed through the 2 black wires and connect the 3rd with the blue twist block and put it under the panel inside the frame?

Yes of course, in fact that's what Weiser originally did when they installed the kit on my bike, but I just decided I wanted all three Black wires connected inside the RH indicator out of the way and away from water. But you can join all three wherever you like. Whatever is easier for you.....Carl

Hi, no I don’t know, but you could send Weiser Technic an email they are great at responding fast 👍

Hello Chris and welcome to the channel. It's a very good question and I don't yet have an answer for you. I'm based in Germany so insurance is slightly different but I have not thought to ask this important question, and I have added quite a few accessories like bar risers and crash protection, so I will call and ask. It might be into the new year before I get confirmation but I will reply. Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis Thanks carl, please do. I look forward to your findings. Additional value items such as crash bars and fairings, fender extenders etc may just need to be notified as a cost issue, but changing lights from the OEM specification may be viewed as a more serious issue, So I will be interested to find out prior to purchasing.

Hi Ryan, Merry Christmas and good morning. Last night I upload the new for North America installation guide (Steps 6 & 7) which I think will help a lot of owners. Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis No doubt it will, and thanks for taking the time. My point was aimed at Weiser themselves. I think it’s a great product, and the fact they aren’t producing these videos themselves, and for each of the bikes, is a shame and hurts adoption of their tech. It’s a ‘own goal’.

Hi Ryan, well I hope to be working more with Weiser Technik in 2023 and hopefully they will have me involved with producing more How-To videos for their great products. Together we have already made some small improvements to the instructions and there is more to come in 2023. Best wishes Carl

Hi David, do you mean the light that you mount under the BMW emblem on the side of the fuel tank ? Sadly that is not allowed here in many areas of Europe, Germany especially has some restrictive laws. But I have seen them and they look great 👍

Hi Shawn welcome to the channel, I sadly do not have access to a 21-23 GSA for an installation video. But, I will be making several new installation videos this summer on the older GS and GSA models and hopefully some different bikes . Have a nice Sunday Carl

Hi Max Good morning, glad to hear your order is in. The installation is straight forward and you’ll probably have fun too. I think they are constantly seeking to improve the Weiser-Tech website but your observation will be passed on. Let me know how you get on, best wishes Carl

Hi Tim, do you mean BMW connectors or the Weiser connectors, because the Weiser ones (pcb) is coated and if you look at the last video you can see them running underwater. Carl

@Just The Way It Is I mean the blue and red screw together terminals.

Hi Tim, ok now I understand. Well the episode was a basic standard install, of course you can use other materials but most owners don't have access to them. You could for example cut into the harness and join the Weiser Red and Yellow wires at the tail light or in another place using solder and then use shrink tubing to seal them, and the same with joining the four Black wires and the four Grey wires (usa specs) using the same technique, but... this is beyond most owners abilities. So that's why Weiser have kept the installation simple using the Posi connectors. Also not much water gets access to under the seat area and I feel what is included in the kit works well. This is just one way to install the kit. Really it comes down to owner ability, access to tools and time. When Weiser visited me we did talk through this... but as they have highlighted the kits have been installed this way in North America for several years, by owners and BMW dealers and they have seen Zero issues with reliability. I hope this helps. Best wishes Carl

Hi Tony and welcome to the channel. Thankyou for your question. You haven't mentioned your location which is important because the kits and installation is slightly different. But the simple answer is you need to install the lights as per the guide, steps 1 to 5, but when you get to the rear lights you can use the can smart or ezCAN system to make things simpler. The best option is to send Mark at Weiser an email and he will send you an additional diagram showing what you need to do for your current bike and setup. I dont have an canbus module on my 2021 GS otherwise I could advise exactly what and how to do it. But.. many subscribers have installed the lights with your system so it's going to be fairly straightforward. Ring or email Mark at Weiser... he is a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. Let me know how you get on and 95% of the process is covered in my videos. Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis Thanks again Carl. I will do as you suggest and give Mark a call. I’m in Ireland so the system is ideal for me. Keep the vids coming and enjoy all the tours in 2023.

👍😊

All done and dusted. Spoke with Mark.. talk about backup service. Lights are great and give so much confidence when indicating. You know others can see you. Simple fit (thanks to your vids) and I struggle to change a plug 😂 Keep well and travel safe, mush appreciated

Enjoy 👍 they certainly do an excellent job.

Hi Martin good evening, yes the tail unit and it’s functions remain. Number plate light and brake (for 2021 on bikes) and side light for the earlier ones. It’s a great system and much brighter than OEM Regards Carl

Hi Nick, I believe you can do either option, if you use the Ezcan you of course use up one output, but if you just install the standard Weiser method it leaves the Ezcan free. I can't be more specific as I don't have an Ezcan or SmartCAN system installed. You could send Weiser a quick message and ask, Carl

Ok. Thanks Carl. Appreciate that….

No problem good luck with your installation. Carl

Hi Jim, I’ve not done an install on the F850, but I would imagine it’s fairly straightforward the only thing to find is switched live feed ( tail light for example) and the brake light feed. You could send Mark at weiser-Technik a quick email and ask for advice. Let me know how you get on, I’ll help if I can. Best wishes Carl

Thank you!

You’re welcome

Hi Paul and welcome to the channel, and yes the clear lenses do give a brighter output, but even with the light tint they are SUPER bright. It doesn’t come across very well in the video. Just about everyone that’s fitted them remark’s how much brighter than OEM they are. I actually fitted clear on the rear for MAX visibility and Tinted on the front. Have fun with your installation. Just take your time and it’s fairly straightforward. Have a great weekend Carl

@@justthewayitis Thanks Carl for the expedient reply. I have ordered the clear lenses. Pretty sure the upcoming install will be fine, after watching your great how to video. Thanks again.

Your welcome 🙏

Morning Carl, Firstly a big thank you, for producing an easy to follow install video. Secondly Weiser Technik for a quality product. Home from work yesterday, changed and ready to install. This took just over 2hrs, not rushing and a couple of cups of tea. I feel safely illuminated now😂 Question for you, could I take a trigger wire off a trigger wire? Reason being I am wanting to install my old Denalis without the use of an ezcan. Wiring direct from the battery with the Denali loom, as done on my previous bikes. Forgot to mention I have the same GS as yours. Please advise. Thanks again. Paul

Hi Paul Good morning Yes taking a trigger feed from another trigger feed is fine. And that’s what I will be showing in the next couple of weiser product Videos Carl
