How to replace the battery of a BMW R1200

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Battery

Replacing the battery of a BMW R1200 GS ADVENTURE is a very simple operation that can be done independently, thanks to the help of our video tutorial that will guide you through the steps to remove the motorcycle's battery. The battery we will be installing is a YUASA TTX14-BS (12V 12.6AH 200A) AGM. Let's start the replacement procedure by removing the battery compartment cover panel with an 8 Torx key. Once the panel is removed, we can remove the negative terminal of the battery with a 10 key, extract the battery, and then remove the positive terminal with the same key. We continue the procedure by cleaning the compartment and then proceed to install the new battery. We start the assembly of the new battery by first connecting the positive terminal and inserting it into its housing, and then connecting the negative terminal. Using the 10 key, we close the panel.

Install universal roof bars on a Renault Clio. Universal roof bars are used on cars with roof rails (fixed bar secured to the roof of the car) and without. Fit the bar kit (as shown in the video) with the bars adjusted according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once you have adjusted the width of the anchoring brackets (measure with a tape measure), tighten the bolts with the butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Finally, fit the safety caps on both sides.
