Fuck Yeah!!! Thank you

Hey Chris, could you explain to me on a 2011 r1200 pinging on acceleration make a video if you can. I'm being told they all run like that. 2011 dual overhead cam pinging on hard acceleration I've tried the gas even an additive. Nothing has helped. How do you do the timing on these motors? Can a newbie do it? I doubt it. Help me. Chris I hope you're feeling all right

Know Scott’s parents well. Worked with his mother for many years. I never had the opportunity to meet Scott but his mom and dad would tell me about his love for motorcycles and racing in particular. Your tribute was heartfelt and appreciated, Chris. Thank you.

Hi Chris - it's probably unlikely that you will read a comment on a video this old, but I thought I'd ask anyway - on my R1150R it sounds like cam chain rattle at idle, but only when the engine is hot (never when cold). Is this still likely to be a tensioner issue or is there something else at play here? Cheers, Andy.

Hey Chris - hope you and the family are doing well!

You save my life, with just a simple solution, thanks for you work 😊

Thx for the great instructional video.

Please help Chris! See my other comment. Thank you .

My 2006 r1200 GS with only 29,000 miles on it starts and runs silently when cold. And when it’s warmed to normal operating temperature the engine still idles and runs silently, but when I stop it when at normal operating temperature and let it sit for a few minutes and then restart the engine,it has the dreaded loose cam chain rattle for around 3 or so seconds. It 2:30 doesn’t do this at all when the engine is started from cold.I am using fully synthetic Mobile 1 racing 15 / 50 oil. Any advice would be really really appreciated. Thank you.

Hallo, sehr interessant ihre Arbeiten 👍

It can be a pain in the ass. But it is a helluva motorcycle and to this day, these bikes are out there racking up high speed miles and lots of smiles.

Bonjour et merci pour cette vidéo. Bonne journée

3:55 I am one of these persons. Bought a 2002 Boxercup Replica Randy Mamola with 57000kms on it. Wow this is nice😎

Side mirror kung fu 😂

Did the canisterectomy yesterday after replacing the fuel pump. Fuel spilled on white paper and lefts black droplets . Also discovered the “mouse poo” charcoal after i shook it. Thanks for your videos. I just subscribed to your patreon

Where is the video for adjustmrnt of a k750 BMW YEAR 1986

This is great to know. I have an 1150 GS and I'm just replacing the tappets with the newer ones. So I can do a "while I'm in there" with the tensioner. It's definitely the old one, because it came apart. I'm definitely going to leave the chain guides alone, unless they show signs of excessive wear/damage.

Nice Job. Thank you.

Came for the detailed tank removal info, stayed for the hairdo and commentary.

My 1993 BMW K1100 has no compression, it started normally, until one morning it didn't start anymore, could what you did work?... greetings and thanks!

Can you just use a 30mm crow's foot on the paralever locknut? I encounter the same situation on helicopter tail rotor hub, and yes, we do have the same type of special tool, but often just use the crow's foot anyway (easier/less work than signing out special tool). I'm sure the crow's foot is about the same or less than a high dollar impact socket with all the milling work to open it up 🤷 I may still mill one out just because it's more elegant.

Thanks!

Thanks Chris, i think its pretty cool that you take the time to do these selfless vidios to help people out. And you make them enjoyable to watch. Initially, I wanted just to see how to change the cam chain tensioner. But your video was so relaxed and easy to watch that I ended up watching other videos I didn't even have to do just to learn. Thank you again please keep it up.

Worst design everrrrrr! Mine flew off on the freeway.

thank you for the excellent narration on this.... walked through step. Tremendous resource, thank you again!

Excellent

Hi Chris, Greetings from California. Well it’s time to replace the Battery on my R1150R. After a few years my memory fades. So Today I rewatched your excellent video describing the procedure and as always I found it instructive and just a funny F-bombs and all. (So many little fasteners to remove…for a battery!) So now you are getting me back on the road-again. I hope all is well with you and your family. All my best.

Excellent Chris 👍🏻 just found your videos. I’ve just started a restoration on a 1984 K100RT. Been sitting idle 5 yrs prior to my purchasing her. Engine purrs like a kitten but everything else rough. I’ll be using your videos to help me. Really appreciate finding you. I’ve subscribed to your channel 🙏☮️❤️ kindest regards, Allan From New Zealand 🇳🇿

Chris finally walk off the pir? Anybody know

iIs ridiculous how easy that came out for you, i'm seriously pissed off after 3 hours of trying to get the threaded cylinder out, the spring is too high and wont allow removal. also the large O ring on the TB is too large .....probably with age.

Morons

Lifesaver thanks Chris. I had to use a t40 bit, hammer it in, then repeat this process of heat freeze rattle gun twice for them to come out.

the thing is too loose and rotates by itself, is there a way to prevent this?>

Wow, this just worked for me!!! What a legend.

75-140???? No!!! That’s what ruined my FD

So who is Bruno?

Guys do i need to replace gasket after measurements? Or i could use old and some silicone?

Hi Chris, Watched your vid on carb balance but my Bike is newer, year 1993 a BMW R100rt .Heres my problem I did not understand the reason you short out the plugs and I did not pick up on what your thought processes were as that was happening.Can anyone clarify that part ?

im learning so much from watching ...Thank you

Will a wheel off a 2002 fit a 2004 BMW r1150rt

Can you tell me if the engine oil needs draining before removing. I've heard from others that the drive spigot sits in engine oil when it's attached to the bike. My BMW manual doesn't mention it for the R1200RT but I want to be sure! Thanks

I love this video so much 😂 pure honesty.

You're making me happy with my purchase of the same motorhome but a few year's older 😮. I paid $6500 Total and at 35000 miles all those little quirky thinks have been addressed lol. Although I sure someone got burned on the purchase of mine at some point? It was not me. And I'm now moving the front TV to the ceiling and on a flip up mount. Also 3d printed new mounts for switching all controls radio, climate, backup monitor to my preferred locations. I've also printed different little pieces to eliminate some of the road noise and rattling. Soon to be available for purchase. You've brought up all the reasons to not by new motorhomes.

why at just 800 miles?

I have a 2003 K1200GT and it is flashing the ABS and not even cranking. What do I have to do as I believe I don’t have that abs button?

Pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliquer ?

Hey Chris. Not a mechanic here. But I have to wonder, based on your discussion about the 7Nm versus 10-12 Nm. if 7Nm seems appropriate (when you do not have the cutout on the socket) to tight it up? Said differently, without that tool, chances are that the internal pin will go above 7Nm when you torque the nut and so would likely end up at more than 7Nm (and hopefully not more) and perhaps below 12Nm. Just a thought. Geez, I just realize this video is 11 years old. Chances you would never read this (hopefully other savvy users do and provide rationale for-against this?

The sr belt doesn't stretch FYI. Don't cheap out and try some crap, you'll be picking out your scraps like this.

Bmw is like the navy. Every millimeter matters and if it takes skill or finesse they'll leave it that way on purpose.

It would be even better if he was eating cannolis while he was Blair witching the camera around lol. Brutal.
