Hi, 8k miles / 13k km is quite good for an all round capable tyre. Of course other brands can last longer but I think that’s quite normal, but weight and riding style play a big factor. Thank you for sharing 👍 your experience. Best wishes Carl

You are very welcome 🙏 Thank you for your comment Carl 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi, the front wheel should turn smoothly and easily. Did you thoroughly clean the inside of the calliper and clean the pistons? Did you remove the callipers ? Please confirm. Did you use the lubricants I mentioned in the videos around the pistons and then gently and carefully press the pistons back into the calipers? If you did everything correctly and after a short 10 mile ride to gently bed in the new pads, the front wheel should rotate smoothly with just a little bit of drag / resistance being felt. Carl

​@@justthewayitisI don't have caliper piston oil, but I felt that the pistons moved easily. I will disassemble it and check again and try to find the piston grease. I hope I can provide a comfortable wheel rotation. Thank you very much for the information.

​@@justthewayitisI did the cleaning process as in the video and took an outside opportunity to disassemble the calipers and I think I cleaned them pretty well.😊

Ok, brilliant, 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi Ron, good morning and congratulations on your new GSA, I wish you many happy miles with your new motorbike. I am very grateful for all the positive comments and I’m delighted owners find the channel helpful and informative. Best wishes Carl 🙋🏻‍♂️

Sorry I don’t know as I have not worked on a 1100S, you will need to have a look inside.

Hi John, thank you 🙏

Yes correct you can choose 🙋🏻‍♂️ having AVHC auto or high

@@justthewayitisthank you

Hi Andrew. For the firmware it needs to be named K5.bin remember to use a 8 to 32 GB card formated to fat32. Best wishes Carl

Hi RW, it really depends what you are comparing them with. For example they are much quieter than the OEM Bridgestone tyres fitted to the GS, but when compared to the Metzeler TN2 they are noisy. A lot depends on the roads you want to ride. If you need gravel light off road capability then the AA tyres are very good. But if you ride 95% road they Metzeler is a better and quieter tyre. Hope that helps Carl

Good morning and thank you 🙏, best wishes Carl

Thank you for your suggestion 🙏

Hi Bradley, yes you can notice the difference and this is why the valve is used to help the GS pass the noise tests.

Hi, lean angle and the ability to Feel more from the tyres especially at the front. Both AA and NT2 are very good tyres, if you need off-road capabilities go for the Anakee, if you don't then the Metzeler is the one to choose Best wishes Carl

Hi Paulo, thank you 🙏 You are very welcome Best wishes Carl

Hi Peter, thank for sharing your installation experience, as you say it’s really simple and solves the problem. The BO kit is my favourite as we have a big bright brake light that is highly visible when we need it. Yes we all agree BMW should offer a better solution for its customers as so many of us don’t like this new minimalist approach to rear safety and visibility. Best wishes Carl

Hi David, as Merv has already mentioned you can use an old metal coat hanger or suitable metal wire and feed it up the small hole found at the base of the tail unit… carefully up to the access point under the passenger seat. Then attach a flexible cable or string and pull it back down. Then attach the B6 cable to the string and pull it up through to the access point. This way will save you a an hour of dismantling 🙏

@@justthewayitis

@@justthewayitis Many thanks. A great help to getting this fitted, and helping the rear of the 1300😀😊

Yes. Works perfectly 👍

@@justthewayitis If you unscrew the last 2 screws holding the top cover on the tail unit you have full access. I think it’s quicker and easier than feeding a wire through and straightforward to put the cover back on

Thank you 🙏

Hi Paul, it’s fairly easy In column J there is no abs setting information because you only have 3 abs setting options ( not 4 ) which are highlighted to the right. The best way to use my chart is have look at it while sitting on the bike in the garage going through the physical screens. It will make much more sense this way. This way you will see that if there is a blank in the chart it’s because you have reduced options in the category. Again it’s better understood looking at the dash board while using the chart. Throttle response is blank in M column because you only have 3 options in that category ( not 4 ) If you have a specific question I’m happy to help. Best wishes Carl

Hi Fred, it’s a safety feature BMW wanted to keep active. Basically you have to tell the bike to turn it all off each time. I’m away from home so can’t try this now, but try using Enduro pro change it how you want. Then turn the bike off and cycle back to enduro pro ride mode… does it keep your settings?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it keeps the settings in enduro pro. ex. engine-dynamic dtc-enduro pro abs-enduro pro I start the bike up and take off…the ABS continues to blink, but there is no DTC warning light unless I go to the left side and turn it (dtc) off which is confusing. If I’ve got to turn off dtc in enduro pro every time I start the bike, it kind of makes the dtc configuration process useless.

Hi, it is a K50, congratulations on your new purchase welcome to the GS club 🙋🏻‍♂️ You will receive a free Driveshaft replacement at 60k km or 36k ish miles. Best wishes Carl

Hi Geoff, thank you for that extra bit of information 🙏, hopefully you won’t have to wait long for your new GS to arrive. 👍 Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis thanks Karl, it’s only a week or so away now. , thanks for the reply 🤘🏻

Well i know it’s exciting waiting for arrival day 🙋🏻‍♂️

If you mean the footage, it depends on what you want to download from the memory card in the K7 to your phone. But I find it fairly easy and quick. If you want to download a days riding it’s quicker to take the memory card out and transfer it to your PC. Carl

Hi Ryan, good morning 🙋🏻‍♂️, thank you for your kind message. Best wishes Carl

Hi Merv, glad to hear you have successfully installed the kit. Thank you for sharing your tip, I do have a video coming soon but your tip will help others. Thank you 🙏 Have fun with your new 1300GS. Carl

Your tip on the rear light wiring is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

@@davidanderson5811 😀👍

Hi David and Dee, good morning and thank you 🙏. Yes the new bikes seem to be very expensive once you add all the options these bikes should really come with. My 2021 year model GS went up in retail price by 700€ just after I bought it, then another jump a few months later. I have a good friend who had a 1290 SA and he loves it too. Best wishes to you both. Carl 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hello 🙋🏻‍♂️, and thank you 🙏. I don’t have a specific video for the older versions but the principles are similar. Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis Thank you very much, again awsome vidoes...

🙏🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi, I hope it does as the standard comfort seat is not very good. Thank you for sharing 🙋🏻‍♂️ Carl

Hi, sorry I haven’t seen one but I’m sure someone makes an option 👍 for the new GS

@@justthewayitis only finding driver's seat backrests :( hopefully soon! :)

Good luck with your search

Hi Tarique, thank you 🙏

Hi Eric, thank you for your feedback on the work I do on the channel, and I think i understand your question,. AVHC has just 2 settings (Auto and High) in Auto mode it will automatically lower the suspension (front and rear) at low speeds and then return to the standard ( high setting ) once you move away. Their is no LOW setting that you can choose or select or have locked LOW in the main road focused ride modes (Eco, Rain, Road, Dynamic and Dynamic pro),. But, you can select Low or HIGH if you are using (Enduro or Enduro pro) ride modes. The test GS i had from BMW has been returned so I can't check for you, but the above is my understanding. If you need more clarification, perhaps a visit to your friendly BMW dealership is due..... smile. hope that helps, Carl

@@justthewayitis Ok yes that does clarify a lot. Thank you! I didn’t realize that only the enduro modes locked high and low. I will assume “auto” is the same as the 1250 once it raises up. Ie auto leveling. Cheers and thanks for the quick reply Carl.

No problem, I do cover it in episode 2 which you enjoy Carl

You are very welcome 🙏

Hi Howard, thank you for your kind words, and it was nice to meet you too 🙋🏻‍♂️. For me it was really interesting to meet so many owners at the ABR show, all of us sharing the same passion for 2 wheels and adventure in its many different forms. Have a great week Carl 🙋🏻‍♂️👍

Hi Beans, thank you 🙏 we are all never to old to learn something new 😉, glad you enjoyed the Dynamic ESA series, happy riding. Kindest regards Carl

@@justthewayitis thanks Carl, just right into the riding mode control video right now 👍

Enjoy

Hi the PP was better than the original seat in terms of comfort, but the Touratech seat has a dip in the middle for your coccyx bone (tail bone) which for me transforms the comfort to a very high level. Brilliant seat if you can find one. Hope that helps Carl 🙋🏻‍♂️

👍🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi Udo, as we only need a trigger feed you could use one of the indicators and find the tail light feed wire. Or still use the din plug but just take a trigger from it at the back and then reconnect it back to the side panel which is probably the easiest thing to do so you can continue to use it for winter charging. All you need to find is a live wire that comes on with the ignition. Greetings from Hessen 👍 Carl

Hi Gary, yes.. once the update is done just reinstall your normal memory card . Kind regards Carl

@@justthewayitisMany thanks, keep up the good work👏

Thank you 🙏

Hi Merv, have a look at the links I have added in the video description, one of them is for the modules you require. The Weiser website then gives you two options for adding an extra rear light if you want to add one. Quite a few subscribers have already done this and it works really well. Kind regards Carl

@@justthewayitis Thanks Carl, just ordered it and used the discount code you kindly provided. Thank you for your excellent channel, it is very informative and professional.

Hi Merv, your very welcome 🙏

Hello, sorry I don’t have a comparison to that system

Hi Den, it’s easy to install you will be fine 👍🙋🏻‍♂️ Let me know how you get on Best wishes Carl

@@justthewayitis yeah looks easy enough will do 👍

Have fun 🙋🏻‍♂️

Thank you 🙏

Ah, apologies 🤔, typing mistake my end.

Hi Paul, thank you for your feedback 🙏, and congratulations on your GSA much better looking than the new one…. I wish you lots of happy miles with your new best friend. Kindest regards Carl
