This video is currently unavailable

To replace the battery on a BMW R 1200 GS LC, you need to use a screwdriver to loosen the screws that secure the protective cover on the right side of the bike, under the tank. By removing this cover, you will be able to loosen the bolts that secure the cross bracket holding the battery and disconnect its cables.

Once the last securing bolts are loosened, the battery can be removed from its housing and replaced with a new spare part. After installation, connect it and secure it with the appropriate cross bracket.

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.
