Little late to the party here. I've just completed a spring swap for the front on my 2014 GSLC using your video for reference. For anyone else doing this, you don't need to remove the bushing for the collar to come off (11:49). The collar has 4 divots and aligning those with the bushing will allow it to clear. It may take a few light taps, but that's it.
Call it a 50-60% improvement. Definitely noticeable and very appreciated, but not a night-and-day difference. Bike immediately felt more stable in hard turns and straight-line riding was smoother.
Our policy is not to share torque values because they could be different on every bike. We recommend everybody look up torque values for their specific application.
@@BMWMOAorg understandable and you could have still shared torque values for this specific motorcycle. very reputable channels, like rocky mountain atvmc, share torque values. this adds to the value that they provide.

Thanks for adding this tip!
"Razor blade is the most important tool"...that is so true...LOL.
I suspect my 2010 will be very similar? Great video thank you!
Indeed it should be. Removal of the front shock will be different, but beyond that, the process for the rest should be pretty similar.
No GS or GSA yet but since I'm such a petite fellow like yourself, I want to know what's involved prior to finding a bike. Thanks
How much of a difference did the springs make to the bike?

you could have at least shared torque values for this motorcycle
