A couple of weeks before TT Dave got the BMW on the bench of it's TT prep. His editing was a bit slower than his spannering!
Join him as he shows you the tips and tricks to getting a Superbike ready for the rigours of the TT mountain course.

This is why I love bike racing. F-1 drivers make millions and millions and many are spoiled brats. Many TT racers competing at this incredible race, do their own prep work, race on a shoestring budget and are humble and down to earth. My very best wishes to you for a safe and successful TT. Will be following from the US.

The MotoGP riders can also be a bit like spoilt brats. But yes, I totally agree, the TT road racers are such a down to earth likeable bunch of guys.

Hey wanted to ask ..on a 2018 s1000rr ..when doing a normal valnve clearance check do we need to take out the cam shaft holders as well ?? I understand if shims need to be changed then we need to...for just checking the valve clearance- do we need to remove the cam shaft holders too which hold the cam lobes

No, you only need the rocker cover off, no need to remove the cam caps

Don't you have a quick release system for changing the rear wheel/tyre during a race ?
@obsession_engineering
@obsession_engineering 2 жыл бұрын
We don't do a wheel change, so don't need the quick release option. But the caliper and spacers are captive so it can be done quickly if necessary

@@obsession_engineering haha That's true. When travelling at over 150mph, every fastener is critical ☺ But, yes, that's interesting you do. Afteral, you don't want any fasteners vibrating loose. Thank-you for the reply. Once again, best of luck Dave! 👍

probably need the wheel speed inputs for the anti-wheely/traction control stuff to work? I'm curious why the BMW alarm unit is still on there, does it do anything other than beep annoyingly and monitor tire pressure on the S1000RR?

Correct on the wheel speed sensors, they're needed for traction, launch control, etc. And the alarm just helps my paranoia

Detail. Has 200 miles since last oil change and will need an oil change in another 300. Respect that 500 mile interval for oil change. Ohh and cheats. Must have but not required to operate. Lol
