I have no idea why I watched that, I don’t even have a GS 😂. Still found it interesting, cheers Bruce 👍

The reliability of BMW electronics, don't you just love them! Reminds me of 1970s Suzuki electronics. And yet BMW throw more and more electronics at all their bikes. I suppose they've got to give customers a reason to trade in once the warranty has expired!!!

I just heard that noise on my and found your video...!!! Great help... thanks...!!!

Thanks for this helpful video! I'm planning on a complete exhaust system on my 1250 RS and this ought to be very similar to the GS, again thanks!

I enjoyed the bloopers as I've been there myself many times. It should be easy, but it's not. Stay safe.

Found the vid interesting, I know many folks love BMW GS's but reliability especially out of warranty would worry me especially as they keep adding more complex electronics.

Nice 1 Bruce

Well get you! Mr Bike mechanic now! ;-) Great video and good to see that something so simple cures the problem, as thats not usually the way with BMW... Hope you and the Mrs are keeping healthy, all the best.

I wonder if it would be good to slide a bit of heat shrink tubing over the servo buddy and connector as it looks a bit flimsy? Love the channel mate, and well done for "sticking it to the man"!!!

Bruce out with the spanners and in his own garage 🤔 Nice easy fix and a bit of weight saving on the bike. I replaced my FZ1 exhaust system last year (Andy Man Cam can’t ze Germans don’t like it) for a full Delkevic system. Left the motor but removed the cables that go down through the bike otherwise it errors. Will check to see if they do something similar for the FZ1

And all done without a single cuss word or thrown spanner😂 well done sir! Good vid Bruce. I’ll ask the obvious one…what happens come mot time? I understand the the uk is falling into line with Brussels on M&U Regs forbidding tinkering with fuel or exhaust gas controls.

Short, simple & to the point vid. That noise would've done my head in!! Nice one Bruce mate. Awrabesht, Al. 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Helge is looking very clean - you really have been bored during the lockdown!

Hi Bruce, Lockdown songs with Richy coming up lol. Hope you're well, cheers.

Hi Bruce I have had one fitted to my gsa for the last 50k miles worked well bike now 93k miles

great video - I don't intend to change the standard exhaust but intend to take out the clakka clakka valve (that's what they sound like on tick over!) so I will need on of these puppies as well - Ta for the info!

You pointed the right position for the exhaust flap, the added arrow poit at the lambda! BTW i see you have the single best mod for the GS... the Mudsling!

Not sure we needed to hear the noise so long Bruce. 😉

Well done Bruce, loved the out takes 👍

Educated me there Bruce, cheers. By the way love the Kombi. 👍😷🏍🇦🇺

it aint too shabby for a bike that never gets cleaned :D You should show us that van too at some point. Looks fantastic!

Aanndd........another top video, from a top bloke! Nice one Bruce, enjoyed that, even though I too, don't own a GS! Be safe, Grumps.

I just love this color. Wish the new 1250 comes in this color

Brilliant. So helpful, cheers pal

Love that Tee...

Looks a good bit of kit, will be interested to see an update in due course.

Bloopers were the best part. Lol

Get you getting the spanner’s out, you will be doing a garage build next like LCR 😂. Interesting video 👍

Good vid pal, i do like the outtakes at the end. should be new now at the end off ya vids mate

Good informative video but should have had better lighting of the removal of the part. It was very dark and not easily visible

Voice of an angel Bruce ..... a hell’s angel. 😏

Where did you get the t shirt bruce? 😂 thats the best t shirt iv seen 😂

I’d just wack it with a bit of timber until it stopped making the clicky noise, mind you I own a Guzzi and most things are fixable with a hammer

Thank you 👍 Is it much louder after you ditched the catalytic converter and exhaust valve?

Hahaha god damn that noise is infuriating :D I wonder do the folks who designed all this stuff cry when they see us remove them haha.

You managed to do it , well done you no mates to assist you you will have your own in the garage series soon Bruce maybe with how to do off road . 😂😂 maybe not hey lol well don you 👍👍👍👍👍

Great vid. Am removing mine due to the exhaust flap being stuck open and will get this. Any brucy bonus discount codes?

Thumbs up and yours was a dirty one. Good and simple fix. Well done. Live is a little easier. Cheers TPO

Now for the really important question. Where do you get one in the UK? A Google search came up with only suppliers in the US. Thanks 🙏

Nice campervan. A video of you starting it up would be cool. Tourdecampervan.

Great video. Can I ask about MOT. You mentioned you need it for MOT purposes. If I do exactly as you have done on a standard fitting exhaust, do you know if that's an MOT issue? I ask because a sticking valve causes am an engine controller failure warning on the TFT and it's a pain in the A... Thanks for any help and advice from anyone. Cheers, Mark

You made it look easy.....Did you ever release the second video on the canbus accessory thingy you put under the back seat?

I'd be interested to see what's inside the servo housing.....

You wouldn’t get that problem with a ktm 🤣 likening the garage vids mate more to come ?

Hi what drone do you use when out on the bike and any advice

Hi again mate. My question from a while back regarding what the servo does, was worded stupidly. And now that i am the proud owner of a 1250 (which has the servo installed), i am still confused by its purpose. Do you know if it is solely related to engine braking ability... or is it blended in to the shift cam system, allowing more exhaust under variable valve depression? The fact you have this on the 1200 engine, makes me think it is all about volume and engine braking... ??? If you dont know... no harm. I will just ask the blokes i bought her from :)

You mentioned MOT, does removing the valve affect the test ?. Thanks.

Bruce any issue with performance, did u wire the valve open or left it flapping loose

Can you use that servo buddy for the stock exhaust system as well?

Can you do a video on what’s in my garage?

Why not removing the flapper too???

Its an old problem from the 1200 days caused by poor design that should have been resolved years ago and I believe its only there for the EU emissions regulations when on tick over.Some riders use a high temp grease on the exhaust flap bearings but it still goes eventually.

God these bikes are so bloody complicated ! I off road a fair bit so bought a Yamaha T7, just to get away from all these bloody electronics 🙄

Hi Bruce now you have left the plod are you planning on moving back to Scotland?

Interesting but can you use a light next time please 😁

After installing the decat headers did you notice a change in fuel economy?

you have just committed the ultimate sin!!!! snipping ty-wraps with side cutters. It leaves a razor edge to cut you. trim flush with a knife fella. helicopter engineer and I get bit all the time by this!! Pet hate mate. Having worked with the police for many years. I'm of the opinion that if you lock a bobby in a cell with 2 cannon balls over night. By morning he will have lost one and broke the other. I wish you well as you step into the engineering world pal. I had the valve fail on my 2010 multistrada. I fitted one of these and the difference to the bike was amazing. so much smoother. However shortly after all the computers on the bike died. luckily Ducati were amazing and sorted it out of warranty.

Hi Bruce, what’s the score with your warranty now you’ve fitted that exhaust??

Where did you get the servo buddy from Bruce? Could you add a link please

Much difference apart from brand name from the Healtec one?

It's amazing how many people can't deal with the exhaust regulator. They really think it's a bad thing and hacking it will gain them a better life. HaHa

Great stuff Bruce , most plod have the technical ability of a penguin and can only spray wd40 at everything and usually get that wrong and spray themselves 😂😂😂. Good vid keep it up

Gee,I thought it was normal for all GS’s to make that noise🥴

You're right. Noise is so irritating couldn't hear you talk 🤣

Where can I order?

hardware solution to a software problem, crazy.

Mate, you seriously need a light, even a torch if you're going to talk about shit in the shadows. Just a thought.

So if i install this is the valve always open?
