Great job filming this. Except... instalation partbis missing, review as well... I mean... ? The reason why you filmed this at all.
😔
Looks good installed, I’ve been thinking about this one also. Thanks for sharing my friend👍
No problem 👍
One of the best small channels on YT.
@@ferociousfrankie appreciate it 🙏 🙌
Great job, those look really sweet on the bike💯 ride safe brother!
Thanks, will do!
Nice video Ken. Thanks for sharing looking forward to the track videos
Thanks 👍
How has you tenere plastic skid plate holding up?
I have not hit it on anything yet, so it's still solid.
How can I get those crashing bar of ninja 250r
i want a super duke sooo bad. but first i must learn to ride. .😂
How do you feel it is compared to a vrod? I have a nightrod special and was thinking about getting something smaller and more manageable with better handling.
My favorite episodes are when you come out with a new bike out of nowhere. Keep em coming!
@panmassacreu7442 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, but most of the time, I ask myself.. Why am I like this???
I tried this same trick on my 2021 690 enduro r, it doesnt work. It works on older bikes fine. Sure seems like it should, but no matter what I do with any magnet or the stock magnet. It wont work. Some say taping the magnet on could possibly have the magnet get loose or move. I ordered the ridiculously expensive module from Slavens.
My bike is a 2023 and taping the magnet worked for a while
You have to pay for the maps?
@igoraugustosouza1389 they are free. As far as I can see, you do not ever need to pay for map updates. But I can't know 5 years from now if they'll require payment for ongoing support
AR have a few slip ons, what slip on is this size ect
@@davidm6975 v3 mini 140mm
GSA was the 911 Porsche of the Motorcycles. Porsche killed it by pushing the prices to well over mid 100K for even a base model, and BMW killed it with that Ugly Lego design. I owned both, the 911 and GS multiple times. And now, I would not touch neither. Both Companies strived immensely with $2 Trillion Dollars handed out by the Fed Reserve in Panic Mode. Going forward, $35K price with tax and tags, BMW will have hard time selling the 1300 GSA, just like the Market is flooded with $250K Porsche 911s now. With the $1,250 Cash back, plus the Dealer discount and supported finance rate, 1250 GSA is the most intelligence choice. Happy rides.
I have always wanted a GSA and I finally pulled the trigger on one this spring. I have yet to gel with the bike but in my defense I haven't had much time to stack many miles on it yet either. I find myself eyeing the 1300 GS Trophy but I refuse to buy a first year bike so for now I'll keep the 1250 and enjoy it for a few more years until I can no longer fight the urge to upgrade to a 1300.
What I did was attach two smallish rare earth magnets to my frame. Just in case I knock off the magnet on my kick stand in the bush. What it also does is makes the bike light up like an 18 wheeler at traffic lights that have the sensors in the pavement. I no longer get stuck at lights that don't know I am there.
If that stock sensor gets hit with a rock? Its broken. And it turns out no way to fix it at trailside. A bummer to walk out.
Awesome! Thx !
No problem!
Beautiful bike. I am actually looking for a SAS and can’t afford the GSA or even the GS. lol
I did exactly the same, bought a new GSA Trophy and love it. I also like the new 1300 GSA however I don't want to become a BMW test driver of new technology so I'll wait a couple of years before I join the 1300 family.
Thanks for this video. I was wondering if I can add the Arrow slip on without a power commander. I eventually will get the rest of the mods but need to get that stock exhaust off asap.
You do not need the Power commander for just a muffler. BUT keep the baffle on.
@@motokenif you take the baffle out, will it mess uo the air/fuel ratio?
@@christianbailey8113 I think so
@@motoken damn it I got this exhaust to be loud 😭 I didn’t want to have to buy more. Whatever the power commander is like $50
@christianbailey8113 It will still be louder than stock.
I just test rode the 1300 GS trophy, and its funtastic bike. I like the 1300 GS more than the 1250. I also have 2021 RR, 2023 C400GT
Love it! No explanation necessary.
What is the result and height of a rider?
Looks super nice! I just got the Nav 6 which I already had with my other bike, but this one looks pretty sweet, gonna be watching the mods you do, because I might have to copy you😜
It has nice functionality but i feel it is very expensive for what it is.
Congrats my friend! I just bought the same bike a month ago in ICE GREY. First GSA for me and it is unbelievable! Ride safe brother🙏
@@kyled4156 congrats to you as well!
There’s a reason people keep coming back!! The GS cycle lol! Congrats from 🇨🇦!
It is the benchmark!
@@motoken Can you write me a little comparison between SAS vs GSA for adv touring. Thx!
@@chrisvito007 I could do that!
Hi, from where can i get this coding plug?
@@masudbek23 you should get it from the dealer
I had my 2022 ftr 6 weeks. I loved that bike almost as much as i love my wife. 1 of the guysi was riding with, decided he was gonna slam into the back of my bike with his. The smoothest bike ive ever ridden. I will get another one
Thanks for this vid! I have also narrowed it down to these two bashplates and was kind of leaning towards the AXP, but now I'm not so sure anymore 😂 The Acerbis looks great. Did you ever try out the AXP and if so what did you think of it?
@rstking123 the AXP looks to be more robust looking, but ultimately, the way it looks would bother me. It's just too bulky looking.
I own a 2023 Super Adventure S and BTW, also owned a 2016 Super Duke R. Nice choices. My Pros/Cons are similar but simplified. Pros are same as you but the only two cons I have are Chain vs Shaft... I dislike maintaining the chain and would rather have a shaft drive. The only other con is the heat that rolls off the radiator/engine and onto my knee. It's bad and needs a solution. However, in winter this con becomes a pro HA! So go figure.
I have the same headlight on my 500. I had to re-pin as well. I like the look but really haven’t tried it at night.
amateur riders 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@user-co4ey6mm3e keyboard pro rider 🤣🤣🤣
could you tell me what skid plate that is? Acerbis? thanks for any info
@@sick08gsr Acerbis, yes
@motoken looks good on bike. I was just about to get the axp. This is cheaper and looks better.
@sick08gsr yes I switched out of the AXP. The AXP is more robust looking, but I don't need that personally.
@@motoken same here. I want the protection. Most I'll ever be on is 2 track or some easy mountain passes. I got a lighter bike for the harder stuff.
Thanks for your video. I just got this seat for my 09 Fat Bob and it makes it sleek and sexy now. -The look I was always after! I find the comfort totally fine for longer rides, as it is firmer than my stock seat. The comfort for a passenger however would not be great with this seat.
Man that exhaust system looks sick🔥🔥
Very helpful thank you
Good video thank you
Cool video. Does Acerbis skidplate allow for the oil level check? You mentioned that AXP had a hole matching that of oil check but can’t see if the Acerbis allows for checking there as well
@@musique2005 the acerbis does have a view but it's very hard to see actually. Needs a flashlight
Hi Ken, How many lites for the ducatti 1199 2014 plate and where do I buy the items from?
Man you guys got lots of stop signs on the road, why can't they put a roundabout to replace those stop signs to keep traffic moving.
Sweet bike. Im 200 lbs and actually softened the front end a little cuz it felt too rigid over bumps. Im at 13 clicks out and it’s pretty smooth. Haven’t messed with the rear shock yet but it does feel a little soft. No strips on the rear tire, just to give you a reference as to speed🤙 not sure I’ll ever scrub in the entire front tire on the street! Are you in the PNW?
Man your bike looks sweet! I bet it rips at the track! Question for ya regarding the brembo master cylinder, I just grabbed a 15mm for my 690 and was wondering if your mechanic did anything to the banjo at the bar end to get it to work or did he just leave the stock line as it is? I got a 90 degree banjo just in case but not sure how to install that 🙃 thanks man! Keep up the great videos!
@LifeWellRidden we used a 90 degree banjo. I ordered the kit from Rottweiler and the 90 degree banjo was all that's needed to work with the stock line. Stock caliper is good enough, in my opinion as well.
@@motoken your the man thank you!! How did you install the banjo? Did you have to cut or remove anything from the factory line?
@LifeWellRidden no just install the banjo to the master cylinder and the stock brake line after. The 90-degree banjo is what corrects the oem line angle. Otherwise, without it, the only other way is creating a new line from scratch.
@@motoken oh sweet!! So it’s fairly simple, I have no idea what I’m doing so this should be fun but you have helped a ton!! Thank you!!
I think I saw you had your AXP for sale on marketplace was gonna hit you up, but now i'm thinking i might go acerbis on skidplate, engine guards, and water pump coverage ........
I currently own a 2022 BMW R1250 GS. The build quality, suspension, and seat are significantly worse than my 2016 GS. That's why I'm looking into the SAS for my next bike.
woah i got both of these on order lmaoo should be here this week
A slip on from Sawicki Speed or S&S Make it sound amazing and while the 100% has more ride modes, yours has Rain, Standard and Sport b 10:05 y default as stars options.. I've got a 2023 Sport with a Sawicki Speed exhaust and a PV3 Tuner to play with stuff, including removing the speed limiter and 150mph isn't an issue outside the wind. Lol. I regularly spank Monsters Super Dukes, Z900's and bullet bikes in straight line as well as canyons.
Did tou fix it ? My last car had the same issue. Its the busing on the lateral thats binding
