Part: Air filter

Video tutorial

Before proceeding to replace the air filter on the BMW R 1200 GS LC, ensure the bike is stable and secure on its stand. This precaution, which should be taken for any maintenance operation on any motorcycle, is to safeguard the operator's safety.

After removing the seat, take off the central strip over the tank by unscrewing the five screws that hold it in place. Next, unscrew the four screws that secure the plastic cover of the filter housing, located between the handlebars and the tank inlet.

Replace the filter and reassemble everything by following the reverse order of the steps taken.

Vespa Immobiliser: How to Transfer the Chip from the Old Key

In the case shown in the video, the new keys are not recognised by the ECU: the Vespa starts but does not run (thus the immobiliser is active). The solution shown in the video involves locating the immobiliser chip in the old key (the one recognised by the ECU). Open the cover on the key (only red master keys or some blue ones), remove the chip (which is a small black cylinder or rectangle), insert it into the new key in place of the new one, and try to start. Now the key will work. If the master key is red, it will definitely work. If it is blue, it might work: you need to cut the silicone; this is possible but a delicate operation. If it is a black clone key, then it is a system that does not work.
