It’s too high for sure. I put new tires on it, TKC80s, and overinflated. I bleed it down after the test rides, just wanted to make sure I did not have a leak.

I agree, normally the telelever don’t provide a lot off feedback like a conventional fork, but the 1300 does a much better job than the 1250 in my opinion.

I agree, and I am very happy to hear that they have started to make deliveries of the panniers. Thank you for sharing

These are somewhat minor issues - still a perfect off road ADV bike for me. Biggest issue for me is that they did not get panniers released with the bike. Looking forward to my first BDR with it in two week! Unfortunately not with BMW bags

@@Matsridesoffroadthat’s fair enough I understand, for me I will never buy another gsa again my 2024 gsa is the most precious motorcycle in the world to me now. I know I’m not alone in that feeling. Sadly the bike has lost its iconic ness with this move BMW have made I feel they should have upgraded the bike but being true to its heritage and iconicness. Same as Land Rover they bought out disco 5, great car but in all modern ways bit it’s not iconic same as the new defender it’s not an iconic car. It’s just another good SUV

I have had my fair share of Harleys and had back rests on all of them. I had a few BMW RTs in the past with Corbin seats and I added back rests to them as well, so I recognize the concern. I am now on my my 5th BMW GSA and I have not missed a backrest at all. Take one for a longer test ride on the highway and see what you think, I think you will be fine without the backrest.

@ thank you for your reply 🙏

@@jeffreyuth6362 I don’t think the dealers know. BMW Germany has apparently not communicated a date. Tank bag is nice, and I agree, pricey :)

@@617wolf Thank you! Much appreciated. I check in with them tomorrow

👍🏻

👍🏻❤️

Thank you

@@checker3694 It’s not the bike, its the rider. Anyone can learn to ride the GSA well off road if they put in the time.

@Matsridesoffroad No way is it possible not even for Hulk Hogan, off road on compacted gravel road only , 5 inchs of loose sand and guys are dropping these below 10mph.These are on road touring bikes that spend 99.9% on Tarmac. 450cc and 150kg can go anywhere with strong rider only, not 300kg + boats when loaded with panniers which these are.

@ Take a weekend class at RawHyde and see if you change your mind .

@Matsridesoffroad You can't change the laws of mass and weight, the you tube video showing the Landrover defender in the hands of a professional stuck up to its axles, and the fiat panda 4x4 driving through past him in the hands of an Amateur.

Those are hippo Hands, great for cold weather riding

👍🏻

haha

No errors at all. In the US we don’t have the alarm systems so it plugs in to the dead alarm system connector under the passenger seat. you can find details on the Denali website.

thanks can you share the photo where the smart can connector is inserted .. is it perhaps this? [img]i.postimg.cc/GhgKZfQm/20241217-185026.jpg[/img] with Faretti lone rider and Motocan releases this error [img]i.postimg.cc/nhMRrxzm/Screenshot-20241218-070814-Samsung-Internet.jpg[/img]

My pleasure - you to!

Like Disneyland for off road riders

👍🏻

So far no starting issues with mine. Runs like a champ. Hopefully your dealer figures it out. My guess is that it is the right hand switch control housing. Ask you dealer to check his service bulletins.

@ will do thanks.

@@suzyamerica4679 RT is a great version of it, had 2 in my past, although that was a few years ago.

@@Matsridesoffroad Been wondering how long the RT lasts if you take care of it. And right now I'm catching up on all the maintenance that was deferred for the last owner or two.

@@suzyamerica4679 My guess is at least 200,000 miles. I have friends that has over 100,000 on their GSA’s and no sign of issues.

@@Matsridesoffroad Cool beans. At 78K it's still got strong compression, idles nicely, doesn't leak or burn oil. I wish it got better mpg's, but, honestly, mopeds can't do what that thing does.

@@suzyamerica4679 It’s a great bike for the road.

Should work for all other manufacturers as well (Skid plate manufacturers)

Anything for you :)

👍🏻

I am a long time customer of BMW Motorcycles of Detroit, they have about 12 - 15 demo bikes. One of each model. Their thinking is that you should ride the bike first so you buy the right bike. They always have taken great care of me. Full disclosure, I started to work there, helping out in sales after I retired late in 2024. Can’t really comment on the other dealer, they changed ownership a couple of years ago, previous owner was a great guy, but I don’t know the current owner or what service level they provide nowadays.

👍🏻

The DIN port front right was always there, although they made it a USB for a few years, but the DIN port for the passenger (Left side, rear) is unfortunately gone on the 1300. I added a direct connection to the battery on the left, mainly for my heated gear

@ I will be adding a direct connection too for my compressor as the oem one is usually fused too low and tris out

Sure does, really appreciate that on cold days

TOURATECH EXTREME WATERPROOF EXPANDABLE TAIL RACK BAG, 055-1006.

Congrats! Fog light covers are standard on the Trophy. I wired the Quad Lock and the 2nd GPS to my CAN Smart device. Same as powering my extra lights and brake lights. Purchased from Denali. You can also wire it to the USB plug in the front storage compartment on top of the fuel tank.

@ thanks. I have my panniers on order and my dealer said January. I started out on a 2022 GS then traded it in for a 2024 GSA. I had that for 6 months but fell in love with triple black 1300 GSA. Not many parts available yet.

@ Waiting for my panniers as well.

You are correct, should have said 1250!

They are. Gets a little congested in December, lots of people drive through to see the lights.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you, the 1250 is an assume bike

That’s the fun part. not looking for easy, looking for fun and challenging

100% mate but people tend to buy these big bikes on viewing videos of expert riders and get caught up thinking they can ride the that with, one . Great bikes for doing a specific thing . People need to ask themselfs what riding they will be doing first . Big bikes in the wrong terrain can cause big injuries

That’s part of the fun. I use to race 240s, but riding a 1300 well off road is more satisfying. If I wanted easy I would buy a tiny bike

Video always flattens things out. It’s a fun exercise

By far not the most expensive bike out there. It’s in the $30K range, but don’t just look at the price tag. You have to look at total cost of ownership. This is my 6th BMW GSA, and so far trade in values has been great. And service is cheap compared to many out there, so total cost of ownership is acceptable to me.

Guess you cannot afford one.🥳

Amazing how all the GS experts come out in these threads. Yes, it is heavy, but if you ride a GS just once, you might understand the appeal. GS’s have been exploring the globe since their introduction…there isn’t a better all-round touring bike made IMO…it’s not an enduro machine…but if you want to explore and then do 500+ miles in a day…go ahead and offer a better option.

@ Agree 100%

@ now that is what I can agree on👍

Congrats, you got yourself a great bike!!

Small world indeed. it’s a good area. just not to much trails around here. have to get a couple of hours North for that

Thank you, so far a great ride.

Lots of fun, not hard as long as you have good clutch control

Thanks! Will do!

These are Touratech foldable mirrors. It’s a hinge on them so you can fold them down in seconds so they don’t hit trees and shrub

I know :) I am Swedish by birth. Grow up in Stockholm and Karlstad before moving to the states about 30 years ago. glad you noticed!

about 600 Lbs, not to bad

The fun starts here :)

Not necessary in weight, but in flexibility. it feels broken in right of the bat

Small trail in an industrial park in Pontiac, MI

@@MarcoKotonski It’s really wet and muddy if you go to the lower areas of the park. The mud I got stuck in was deep, about 1.5 foot deep. Hard work to get it out and needed a wash after that :)

Man, you really have put the bike to work. I’m sure you don’t need any exercise , it was plenty for a day session 😅👍🏻

Worst case I have one made. But I hope some of the aftermarket guys make one by next spring
