As a new GS owner this was super helpful! Not knowing where to find the fuel level was driving me nuts. Really enjoying your content. Strong work!

My new GSA has been built and shipped, and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Excellent tutorials like this one are helping me pass the time until it's here, and preparing me much better than the manuals ever could. Thank you!

Hi Jeff thanks and glad they help . My day job is flying Airbus aircraft around Europe so it’s always a good thing to know what buttons do !! There will be some more videos on the way but they take time to plan…. Bikes in bits as am fitting the Denali sound bomb🙈😂

I hate reading manuals when someone can explain it to me.

Best video on tft that I’ve seen to date. Like you said, “keep it simple”. I got no tutorial at all after purchase. Took one look at the manual and knee it was semi-useless. Folks at my shop said google it. So far, until now, most you-tube videos have been semi-useless. Thanks.

Saw a video last year of a chap showing how to lock and unlock the GS. That was 5 mins of my life I will never get back! Was hoping your video would be different and yes it was. Went straight away into the garage and changed my display settings. Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know and never thought the display information could be altered. I have looked at brightness and changed the type pressure readings but this was something new, so thanks. When it gets a bit warmer will go again into the garage and look at what else I can manipulate

Great video - very concise and good use of split screen. Well done, thank you.

Brilliant! Gave up with the manual so confusing. Although I have a GS 1300 this together with the “burger button” vid I found I’ve pieced it altogether. Safe riding .

Long pressing the Menu down button takes you to the last setting you used.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing this information.

So helpful - thank you

Love your videos. Swear I learn something new every time. I had no idea what pro mode was. Thought it was just a more assertive choice. Did not know it was programable mode. Not that I would ever know what I was doing in that mode but great to know. Thanks.

Simply drive the foot onto the ground whilst you give it a good heave on the grab rail . To be honest when my bikes loaded up I don’t even bother as I can’t get it up ! 😂

Many thanks for explaining the BMW TFT screen. I haven't hardly been using what it can do , as the manual for me at least gets lost in translation. Really appreciate your small picture of scroll wheel in upper left corner to see how it is used. Alot to learn on current models. ❤ my 21 F750GS . Going to demo the new models next month when BMWs demo truck comes to town. Thanks again liked and subbed.

Great Piece of Content.....S.F.A.

Enjoyed that--a good refresher for those of us who set things up once, went riding and never went back to the settings again. So, where do I write for my copy of the toilet paper tube crib sheet?

My mate fell of his bike while sitting still … would you recommend that he uses pro-mode? He is also an advanced rider if that helps with an answer 👍😁

Thanks Can you review your favourite helmets for riding GS

Hi, not sure which version of software you have , but its the speed limit info. It will display the speed limit for that road you are on when you use the bmw connectivity app on your phone to the tft. to get rid of the square of not needed go into settings-display and then switch off speed limit info. that should get rid of the square. mine has a circle to tell me the speed limit , used it the other day, pretty good but your bmw app on the phone has to be connected to the tft so the bike knows where it is on planet earth.😁
