Your right, its just nice getting rid of a chuck of useless motor & the servo motor can fail eventually & start to make a horrible noise. Thanks for watching @nikoscom
@btcbiker glad I can help, have you done it yet ? Its probably all in my mind but I think the bike goes better, certainly at lower revs. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂
@@OldManonaBike-jg3ej I haven't done it yet, of course some other stuff got in the way, HeyHo! I bought a servo buddy a while ago, which is the same as yours, different company. I'm off to Germany tomorrow (Not on the Bike) with my wife for a week, but I'll crack on with it when I get back. The main reason for taking this infernal device off my GS is to get rid of that annoying error every time it sticks. I might also post a video about it on my UA-cam Channel and I'll give you a mention if I do 😎
You have inspired me to het one of the eliminators as i have a leo vince lv one evo coming for her and the eliminator will help it sound nicer even though as yet i have had no flap issues
I suspect it stops the flap closing when you blip the throttle. I wonder whether this mod would effect warranty also could i leave the servo in as surely it holds the flap open
The emission light appeared on my 1250RT last weekend, threw me into a right panic! But the only reason for this flap is for start up noise?? No other performance related benefits??
@adrianknight594 correct, if you buy yourself a handy OBDII LINK code reader you can cancel any fault codes. Fit the illuminator & no more hassle, good luck
I got mine from Race & Track day parts on ebay but quite a few places sell em inc Healtech themselves, if you google the part number you will get a choice , ESE-BM1 , thanks for watching 👍
I have this problem on my 2018 gsa with 12000 miles on it, just took it in limp mode to Honda dealer I bought it from, they confirmed it’s seized and said they had a quick go but I’ll have to take it to a w dealer which means loading it into a van for an hours drive 🤨, that ain’t happening!!! watched a good vid on unseizing it so I’ll give that a go then buy the mx + obd reader, once it’s fixed I’m getting rid of the hurtling pile of 💩 and getting a zzr 1400😀 , these bmw bike are not fit for purpose, how the hell can they seriously be called a touring bike!!!🤨😢🙃
@julianmorris9951 I totally get you dude, they are great while they work but in true bmw fashion can be expensive to fix & service, just had the big service on mine, £590 WOW 😡
Hello from California. I have the same GSA 1250. Thank you for showing the OBD connection. Purchased the same OBD and software. Pretty cool!
I disconnected the bowden cables and that worked OK.

Your timing is perfect. I have had enough of greasing the flap, time to remove it. Thanks.
You will say why the f##k didn't i do that ages ago, its an easy job & works great & no more engine management light, good luck bro 👍
Hi Old man, thanks for the video. Hopefully this will end my nightmare with this valve. 😱🤬.
Just finished mounting on my 1250 GSA.
Easy as shown 👍
@peterdue932 awesome, hope the video helped. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂
Great video, thank you. I've been meaning to do this for a while and you've inspired me to get it done.

Nice work. I've got a 1200 gs and really dislike the valve. Awesome job. Thanks heaps, Simon, Australia

@@austinmatthews347 awesome. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂
bought last week the new version, no need to remove anything, you have a 3 position switch, full open, factory or totally closed.

@@OldManonaBike-jg3ej If the flap seizes you won't be able to open or close it. Better just to leave open i'd say.

Does the fault code disappear once ridden as I don't have a code reader Thank You

What app are you using for the diagnostic code reader buddy ?
OBDLINK, thanks for watching
Cheers for that mate

Hi does the obdlinkMX+ work on the gs1250 right out of the box
Yes, just download the app & it works on any vehicle with the appropriate app, i use it on my volvo
Just have about 2400 miles on my 2023 GSA. Where did you find the eliminator part?

I think you could only remove bowden tubes and left the servo inside the eliminator is waste of money.
