Excellent clear expert instruction, no time wasting and no shit music. Thank you.

Thanks for not putting music in the background. It's important to hear and see when doing this kind of thing. GREAT audio by the way

So about three years ago I had to use your video to replace my spider bearings and boots so now 40 k miles later I have to do it again thanks for not deleting the video ( I dont know how to say WONDERFUL in Greek )

Excellent video. I have to replace the gearbox output shaft oil seal on my 2010 R1200GS and this is the perfect video as it shows what I need to remove to gain access, tools required and most importantly the tightening torque for all bolts. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.

Most professional how it should be done video I have seen .

I just completed the installation of my rebuilt FD and I want to thank you for your video as it was my main source of instruction and information for my project. While I had the FD out, I replaced the boots, cleaned and repacked the swing arm bearing, grease the drive shaft splines, and just a general clean up. Thank you!!!

Sem frescuras, puro profissionalismo, demonstrando total conhecimento naquilo que faz. Parabéns. Infelizmente no Brazil temos pouquíssimos mecânicos dessa qualidade.

Neat work and no rubbish background music! σας ευχαριστώ

Many thanks for this excellent video. It enabled me to change my gearbox output shaft rubber boot on my 2005 (late 2004 model R1200GS) without any problems. The only special tool I needed was a slide hammer to remove the R/H side swinging arm spigot (as shown in your video). I made this up using a 30cm length of 6mm threaded rod and couple of large sockets. It worked perfectly. The only difference I found with my bike and your video was that the lower bevel box torx bolt was a T55 rather than a T50. Thanks once again. Graham

I needed to replace the swingarm bearings on my R1200RT and found this video extremely helpful. Many thanks for your time in making this video.

I live in Brazil, bought a BMW GS 1200 2013 and decided that I'll do the basic maintenance myself, unfortunately here in Brazil we have few mechanics who really do the work like you do, which is of extreme quality, I'm watching your videos and I'll do the services following you and your tips. Congrats on the videos and keep making more BMW repair videos.

One of the best made how-to video I have seen. Putting all the info in the video was a great idea! Thanks!!!

Great video. No nonsense or time-wasting. All the information in one place. Well done.

Your video is very well edited with excellent time compression and graphic overlays. I could envision the entire process after watching. Removing my swingarm went very smoothly because of it.

Thank you so much for your very professional video. i loved the way you included /Socket/Spanner/ and T drive sizes and the respective torque values on re-assembly..Using the methods shown i was able to change the front and rear rubber boots on my 2005 BMW R1200ST in an afternoon .Once again many thanks.

I can do this! I need to replace boots on my GS and this is exactly what I needed to see! Thanks!!

Very well produced video and a professional job. Thanks.

Utterly brilliant video. I’ve had to take the FD off mine a few times (long story) but taking the shaft off is in my future to replace the front boot. I wish this guy was around the corner from me though. I don’t trust anyone but me to touch my bike but I reckon this guy would be sound. As has been mentioned before; Very happy that there is no music. Thanks for the video.

Nice Video!!! This is the type of mechanic that I wish we could count on when we take our bikes in. Stellar!!!

Very detailed and guided video with all important info. Thanks for the great efforts!

Excellent video. Makes me less nervous to do when the time comes for my machine..Thank you.

A lot of extra effort has gone into this video thank you

Thanks Your video! I have got a 1150 R and I asked any info for gearbox shaft input service, but it was great!!! I have to change a leaking seal ring on the shaft input, by the same way. The screw drives torque informations were all important! Thank You!

Though I commented a couple years ago, I am only now performing this task because my FD is failing and will be sending out for rebuild =D Since I had to remove the FD anyway, I am proceeding with removing the swing arm to replace the boot, inspect the shaft, and lubricate the pivots. This is still the best video I have found covering this process. One of the odd little details here...my bike is a 2006 model, and the upper shock mount is the reverse of this one! Bolt head on the right side instead of the left. You wonder why they changed it...maybe for assembly time reduction purposes is is better to have it on one particular side as it may save the technician a valuable minute.

Brillant as possible. This is knowledge and technics. Bravo!

Congrats one of the better instruction movies.

Great detailed step by step- Excellent work!

That's correct, I wanted to check the needle bearing in the final drive, lubricate it and replace the gasket ring. That's what I said in 4.30. I also preffered to dismantle it to deal with less weight when I checked swing arm's bearings. :-)

...excellent, succinct and to the point - nicely done!

Επαγγελματικό video και επαγγελματική δουλειά. Απλά μπράβο σου !!!

without a doubt the best video ive seen for changing the gaitor and dropping the drive shaft.....

Great tutorial, without any useless words. Thank you!

Mon message est parti avant d’avoir fini dans tous le cas merci pour cette super vidéo qui nous servira dans notre moto club Niçois plus de 100 adhérents dont une trentaine de BMISTES, merci

The best drive shaft video and a most professionally executed job. Flawless!

Fantastic video ….thanks …you make it look so easy !!!!

Άριστη δουλειά!!! Συγχαρητήρια!

Just the video I needed. Great video!

Sir, you are awesome, if anyone rides a motorcycle this is what a rider should be able to do. I would have gone a few steps further, only because i was once a US Marine and shining stuff is what we're good at. See, i would have polished the exhaust pipe, washed everything with any dirt on it, roughed up the brake rotor, stuff like that. I'm 59 long retired from the US military and i still have to shine things up. But i get stuff dirty too, and i fall and brake shit too. Once again great work.

What a cool and perfect video. Thank you!!

Wow!!!! Great video thanks for that very detailed and informative.

Спасибо! Давно такого информативного видео не встречал

Thank you for that very good film which will be usefull when I need to do that job, JP

Brilliant. Thanks for doing this.

Thank you for your good and detailed video. It really helped me to do this job.

great video, thanks for letting it "speak for itself"

Νικόλα να σε καλά αγορίνα! Ευαγγέλιο το βιντεάκι σου! Οταν ειδικά διαβαζα για την στεγανοποιητικά τσιμουχα απο τεφλον ...ολα στο πιατο! Σε ευχαριστώ! Χαθήκαμε ρε φίλε...

Thanks for the video. Excellent. One question: what kind of grease do you use to lubricate?

Very well done. Thanks !!!

Really good video; amazing job

Ωραία δουλειά φίλε μου!

Bravo re Niko. Thank you!

Very well done and great information. Thanks!

Great Video, and I appreciate you showing all the Torque Values along with where to Grease. The whole Nine Yards. New Subscriber. I will be watching all of your Videos. Thanks again for Making them. 👍

Thanks man. You help me a lot. Very good video.

Video molto ben fatto, riprese eccellenti, e poi la chicca della misura delle chiavi da utilizzare e e le coppie di serraggio dei vari bulloni...Complimenti Very well done video, excellent footage, and then the gem of the size of the wrenches to be used and the tightening torques of the various bolts... Congratulations

simple honest well made vid , very informative , first class.

Nicely done.

Μπραβο σου φιλε.Πολυ χρησιμο βιντεακι.Δεν νομιζω να γινετε τετοια δουλεια σε συνεργειο.

Excellent video, very helpful.👍

Thanks a lot, excellent video. Why did you choose to remove the final drive? The swingarm can be taken off with the final drive in place. What does the text around 4:30 says?

Nice video and nice work.

Perfect video to show process.

Excelente video...gracias por compartirlo

....παρα-παρα πολυ καλο βιντεακι φιλε μου!...respekt! ...άψογος!!!!

BRAVO :) nice and helpful video!!

Super video, helpfull for 1200GS service

Genial y magnífico aporte.Gracias

Thanks for posting the video, useful.

Great video!

amazing work - thanks for sharing

Nice Job ! 👌

Just what I needed to see is it the same for a gs100 ? and is there an English version? But very well done

Great video, no annoying background music either. - very professional Exactly what I needed I only have a few comments: At 1:42 you forgot to show that there is another pivot pin on the left side that needs to be taken out before the FD can be removed. My 07 R1200RT uses a T-55 instead of a T-50 for the FD pivot screw at 1:27 At 7:58 the amount of fluid has been revised by BMW to 180ml (Not 200ml anymore) I wish I could read the banner at 4:23 To answer the question blow, the Nut at 2:27 is: Collar nut M24X1,25 BMW part # 33 17 2 335 11

Perfect, thanks man!

Thanks a lot from Russia! Really great and usefull video!

Excelent video. Congrats

That's good. every time you let me know exact tightening torque. Thank you.

Piękna robota,bez zbędnego gadania

Thank you for the great video, well done good job

Good job! Thanks for the video.

Very educational! Thank you.

Fantastic. Thank you!

very interesting. i will follow all your steps. bye from italy

Super pro, travail propre et net.

Thanks for that. Only one question. Minute 5:15. After you pushed the shaft back to the gearbox. IS THAT LOOSE (clunk) NORMAL in the gearbox? Is that the spot where the clunky gear shift is coming from? Could somebody describe a little more about that loose in the gearbox. Thanks in advance.

great video. thanks for sharing.

What a PRO!!!

great video

Super sympa ta vidéo merci et bravo... Philippe de France🇫🇷 Grenoble.

Super ......Bravo....multumesc de video ....Danke...

hello, thanks for your comments!! Sorry, there's no english version. I'm not sure if this is the same procedure in GS100

Fantastic, thank you

Bravo et merci ! you help me a lot ! thanks !

By the time I had purchased all that kit I would be broke
