dcan Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 PO stated BMW shop said abs bad. I did replace abs on the 97 rt, had better manual, Haynes not so much. Getting Tupperware off and gas tank, any tutorials. Any help greatly appreciated. 08 rt Link to comment
lkraus Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) The MAX BMW dealership did a video on body panel removal, I think. A YouTube search for "max bmw r1200rt" should find it. Most of my RT maintenance is guided by the factory DVD (aka RepROM), available from dealerships, part 01598559606. It lacks wiring diagrams, and requires a Windows PC, but provides much more detail than the Haynes manual. It can seem a little expensive, but if it saves more than an hour of dealership labor, it pays for itself. Edited January 20, 2017 by lkraus Link to comment
dirtrider Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Morning dcan After you remove the Tupperware & fuel tank. (pretty straight forward) --Start with center tank rack removal. For ABS module removal see the screen shots of BMW manual I sent you by PM. Link to comment
dcan Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks, the DVD only works on windows pc. I have a mac. Do you know of any other way to get the DVD. It would be well worth the price. Link to comment

aggieengineer Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 What part of Texas are you in? I'm near Sanger and have performed this swap on my 2008 RT as well. It's not particularly difficult. Take your time. Take notes. Don't get brake fluid on your paint. Link to comment
