How to do the battery replacement in the BMW R1200GS?

To replace the battery of the BMW R1200GS we must first remove the plastic cover of the frame which is held in place by three rubber bands. Once this is done we can access the flap that protects the battery compartment. After having unscrewed the only screw present, it is sufficient to pull lightly to remove it from the interlocking points. We also remove the second cover, always interlocking, and extract the battery. First disconnect the negative pole terminal and then also the positive one. Now that we have extracted the old battery, all we have to do is follow the reverse procedure to mount the new one.

How to remove the front wheel of the Piaggio Fly

Today we will see, in this video tutorial, how to remove the front wheel of the Piaggio Fly scooter, both 50 and 125, possibly replacing the tire. First we put the central stand to our scooter and make sure to raise the front wheel; then we use a 5 mm hex wrench to loosen the fork screws, as shown in the video. At this point we use a 10 mm hex wrench and an 18 mm star wrench to unscrew the central pin of the wheel, in order to remove it; then we remove the wheel and replace the front tire!
