I just removed the shaft on my 12S for service at 70,000km.
I haven't watched that video but the bike in the video will have the same procedure for removing the 12S shaft and yes, you need to remove the swing arm.
Someone was making better driveshafts for the GS bikes, maybe Ted Porter or Beemer Boneyard??
The only problem I had with removing the shaft was in my wisdom I decided to remove the bevel from the shaft and the pivot bolt had been red locktited on.........it took me about 4 hours to get that one bloody bolt undone!
Good luck.
