Product Information
Full details
The Puig Engine Protection Bars (2249N) are essential for owners of BMW R1250 GS motorcycles who frequently ride on uneven terrain or want extra peace of mind against accidental tip-overs. These bars offer the key benefit of high-impact engine defense through a robust steel construction, effectively shielding vulnerable components from costly damage. A notable caveat is that while they are designed for specific model years, they are intended for low-mount placement and may not provide total frame coverage in severe high-speed accidents.

FAQs
Will these fit a 2017 BMW R1200 GS?
No, this part is specifically engineered for the BMW R1250 GS models spanning 2018 to 2024.
Can I install these bars myself?
Yes, they are designed for standard installation, but it is recommended to have a second person assist in holding the bars in place while you start the bolts.
Does the finish require special maintenance?
The bars are finished to resist the elements, but keeping them clean and checking for scratches that might expose raw steel is recommended.
Do these bars interfere with the oil filter access?
The low-mount design is intended to provide protection while generally leaving clearance for routine maintenance, though check your specific manual if you have aftermarket oil filter covers.
What is the tube diameter?
These bars feature a 25mm tube diameter for optimal strength.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic mechanical tools and should be performed on a level surface. Ensure the motorcycle is secure on a center stand before beginning. The bars utilize existing mounting points on the BMW R1250 GS frame. Compatibility is strictly limited to BMW R1250 GS models produced between 2018 and 2024. For maintenance, periodically inspect the mounting bolts to ensure they remain torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. If the bars sustain an impact, check for stress fractures or deformation in the metal; if the powder coating is chipped, touch it up with rust-inhibitive paint to prevent oxidation.
