In this tutorial, see how to replace the alternator belt on a BMW R1200GS, a straightforward task to perform every approximately 25,000 miles. First, wait for the engine to cool completely, then remove the 5 screws of the belt cover using a Torx T25 and another T20. Next, secure the belt with a rope, pull it towards you, and detach it from the pulley. If you do not intend to reuse it, you can simply cut it. To fit the replacement, first attach the upper pulley, then bring it into contact with the lower one using the appropriate tool or a spanner.
