How to replace a broken indicator on 2018 r1200gs

[Karl P]

Hi,
I've snapped off the right hand indicator stalk ( from riders perspective).
I've ordered a replacement but can't find a video that shows me how to replace the broken indicator. I think the challenge is going to be how to access the wiring connector to remove the old and replace with the new.
Can anyone point me to a video or instructions.
Cheers Karl.

Take a look at "the way it is" YT channel.
He has a vid showing replacing them with an aftermarket pair.

Siddo,
Do you mean BMW r1250gs just the way it is?
The only video I can see in the playlist is to replace rear indicators with an aftermarket Weiser product.

Remove rear seat, find indicator connector - unplug

Drop number plate carrier and wheel arch upper tray

Unscrew indicator and remove

Fit new indicator - feed wiring through to connector

Refit wheel arch upper tray

Refit number plate carrier

Plug in indicator

Refit rear seat

Thx all...it seems I forgot to say that I've broken the front right indicator.
Santa could I have summary instructions for the front indicator please. It's a pity I didn't break it in Sid's barn you could have stepped Mr through the process

Fonts even easier if i recall -

Unplug connector
Unbolt indicator
Un clip wire
Remove indicator

Do you want a Haines manual ?

I would have a Haynes manual if you've got one to sell that covers the 2018 model.

From what I can see there's no connector behind the indicator, the wire disappears into a loom.

You could always cut the cable and solder the connections and use shrink wrap.
