Brilliant no more bungie chords

I now have my wifi auto connect switched to manual only (ie auto connect off) - the bike doesn’t need the wifi connection with an android as it (oddly) connects via BT.

The BMW Connected app is a piece of junk. I can talk on the phone, sometimes and listen to Media, sometimes. One thing I can’t accomplish is connect and use Navigation. I can’t however, run and use Waze, without the map, but with turn-by-turn directions through my Sena helmet headset, sometimes.

How did you wire it to the Bike?

The City of Midland was considered the queen of the Great Lakes during her time. Took a trip on her on one of her last years of service

That is not the Mississippi River, it is the Ohio River between Illinois & Kentucky! Your ass was really lost.

Try a smoked old fashioned & let the smoke imbue for 1-2 minutes.

Done. Rubber seals seal the gap, no leaks. So sick of using ugly straps that get lost.

Love your ideas! Any chance you can start posting links to the gear you install? Thanks!

So this one doesn't sail anymore It just sits I have been on the SS Badger on Lake Michigan

Cool! Never knew about that. Added to my list

Very nice! s

Now you need a few drain holes at the bottom of the case to let the water out lol. To be honest, I don't know why you'd drill holes in your motorcycle luggage.

Its an awesome system... when it works. I ultimately just bolted up a Zumo xt to a ram mount. Problem solved LOL

Do you have an app for the headset? If so, when you connect to tft screen you may have conflict between the BMW app and the headset app... just a thought.

Thanks greatly appreciated.

Perfect excellent wonderful I connected the piece that was not connected like I said now can you post the video in Reverse please LMFAO once again thank you I'm about to do the plug-in test once I put on the other side but I found a piece that doesn't look like it fits on this side and the other side i.. just finished screwing in

15:13 this is the piece that was never connected to begin with I thank you wholeheartedly for your video sir

I loaded music into the micro SD card. and I inserted the card into the navigator. But it cannot find the music in the internal card. do you have any information?

Nice ride and backstory. I have yet to ride this - I bet it’s fun on an RT.

(Paused here: 9:54 to comment) About an hour ago I remembered that I was given a gear 360 by an old boss of mine and I want to use it for the upcoming 2024 April 8th solar eclipse for the environment shot. It’s been in storage for over two years. I plugged it in and nothing. I left it plugged in with the cable I bought for it since the original is far too short for my requirements. It’s been an hour of searching for a solution to fix the issue and while watching this video the charge light has lit. Score! Yet I do feel that an upgraded battery is a good idea so I’ll keep watching to see how far you get. No. My old boss didn’t give me the ring dongle you used to unscrew the lens collars but I am sure I can come up with a tool that will work just as well since I absolutely refuse to damage anything. I enjoy the “brand-new” appearance of anything I own. Like the original Nintendo game console I was given on my seventh birthday (Still looks fresh out the box). I love how you show that the ring dongle has a purpose that all those who destroyed their cameras never thought of. I can only imagine their reaction over seeing how you removed the lens collars, probably priceless)

I have found that the TPMS sensor in the wheel is the heavy spot, and I always need the weights across from the valve stem. Now I just leave the weights on the rim from the previous tire and then check the balance after mounting the new tire. In most instances I just need to move a 1/4 ounce weight around to fix any balance issue with the new tire. This method saves me the work of removing all the weights just to put them back on in the exact same place opposite the valve stem/TPMS sensor!

So then there’s no comm with other riders, right?

OK so Since there is no battery to buy to replace, you will have to carefully remove the charging circuit board from the original battery, its at the top of the battery . if you carefully peal back the foil you will se that the battery is attached to two leads that are attached to the board. Check polarity with a multimeter first then cut the two metal leads and solder two wires to the pads. I drilled a hole in the side through the aluminum housing and plastic and ran the wires through, i then attached to an 18650. you will have to connect and disconnect the negative lead till the camera recognizes the battery the solder the connection once the unit is turned on , I hope this helps, i finished the project in a day, now i can replace battery without ever opening the housing again. be mindful if you damage the board it will not work. I can even charge the 18650 battery through the original usb C port now. best regards, I hope this helps.

Amazing video!!!

I live in China and I bought one for 4 dollars and it’s great. It’s actually better than the 2 you have there. Things are cheaper here.

Do you have to remove the top case and luggage rack in order to access the plugs that you connect to HEX EZ Can?

Nice of you to share.

Great idea. I use the strap method but this is more permanent.

Nicely done! I’ll be doing this!

Hi, Where did you mange to get the replacement battery from?

So. the gps will send the audio though the bike speaker..? or that is not an option? thanks

What about paper? It seems to be the ultimate cause the pores are even smaller than ANY metal screen.

Where can i buy the battery

Consistency is overrated. Variation makes life more interesting and the poorly executed shots just make you appreciate the good ones even more.

Really liked your video. one question: you wired the angel eye white hot wire to the aux and the amber hot wire to the turn signal. but wow did you wire the ground (-) from the angel eyes?

I recently bought a used r 1250 rt in excellent shape. The screen and system is one of the attractive, and connectivity and software sucks. The BMW motorrad app is far from good as a gps device. it needs to download maps to the phone and if you pretend to keep it in the case charging, it will drain the phone and will have to take it in and out every time, even limiting many phone functions. I tried more combinations than ever in my obsessive mind, even getting an extra phone exclusive for the bike. It sucks. Far from being a trustable and reliable car play. Now there are cheap Chinese motorcycle car plays and they do a nice job, except for sending a decent music quality to the cardo helmet speakers. I quit. I placed a safe cradle to keep my phone handy, charged and visible, and will use the incredible TFT screen to watch the most common functions as speedometer, revs and temperature etc as a 1990 old car instrument. What a waste of technology and incompetence to build the last and easier part of the job, the connecting interface, to explode all the possibilities of modern functionality in a very expensive bike.

I've got one from China for $3, works great too.

Thank you, Kim! But you are not protecting the brake disks at all....

In settings I have no Alarm heading. I'm guessing that means there's no alarm fitted on my bike?

Omg!! Thank you for YOUR help!!

I hade that same problem with my 2023 with my 2023 GS 850. Took it to the dealership and they said it was a firmware update… lol

It’s 2023 now; I just bought an identical bike here in Oklahoma, a 2015 with 1600 miles. I love the mellow sound of the exhaust and everything about the bike except for the clunky gearbox - but everything in life is a compromise. The bag liners came standard with the Exclusive model. 😎

Nice instruction video👍 if you use our wheel chock Steadystand Multifixed it would even be better😉

Would you consider listing the parts, please. Like, what size rivnut you used and the knob. Links to them is also helpful. Thanks and well done - I like the solution you came up with!

I've never seen a steamed americano, amazing!

Thanks for this nice tutorial. It’s more aesthetically pleasing than supplemental cargo straps, I guess, but the quick-release functionality of the bags is done. Bag liners do sort of substitute for bag removability, but replacing worn latches and loose rivets, keeping the latches locked while moving, and minimizing the tendency to overload the bags, is my preferred solution to unplanned baggage departures.

Consider using the Dremel tool used for making the channel to pierce the back plate. It would form a slot instead of a hole that the electrical connector can fit through. Less material removed. A little black silicone in the slot at the back and the bottom would make it weather proof also.

The rider had some road rash as he was wearing tennis shoes, jean shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt. Her Two Wheels has a video interacting with him while she attempts to render first aid.

Nothing wrong with riding through and past a rider down, avoiding them and the bike is by far the most important thing, then getting out of the way so that you are NOT an obstacle for the next rider. If a rider is upright on the track the next rider will see him first and maneuver to avoid him while unknowingly de-prioritizing the rider down. Then with no time to react he is headed right for the rider down. Until the train of riders has had enough up track warning to be slowed down well in advance of the accident site the best thing any rider can do is to ride through the site on track and avoid the rider and secondly avoid the bike.
