Great video . Just wondering if you might have some input on what could be wrong with my BMW K 1200S ,2008. After riding this morning for about an hour, I came to a stop, bike stalled. Bike started right up but ran rough. Then, slowing down, bike stalled again. This happened twice. Very strong smell. This is my first BMW, so I don’t have any clue where to start. Thanks.

Whats strange is I haven’t rode mine in weeks and all I did was start it and the light starts blinking all of a sudden. I’m gonna replace my battery tomorrow because I already had a new one and I’ve been meaning to change it. I’ll let you know what happens. I hope it’s not the ABS module, I herd that’s expensive!

Hey man, all the best with the bike! Well, best option is to get the motorcycle table lift. If you're on the budget I'd recommend paddock stand for a front wheel, it's inexpensive and effective. Pop the front wheel up and then put your wooden block under the bike so it supports the frame on both sides where the center stand would be. Then lift it in the dead center of the block with the jack.

@tomaal3 жыл бұрын
Hey Marco, I have it for years and no major problems. Just remember to check if the new tensioner was fitted with the previous owner or garage. Its a known fault with OEM tensioner on those. After that, I had a cracked plastic knee in the fuel line, failed starter relay, failed starter, the radiator will need replacing soon. That's about it.
@marcoaurelio69413 жыл бұрын
Hey! Thanks for answering! You mean timing chain tensioner? Is or can the replace be better than the oem? Im glad you havent had any major problems. Im probably mostly looking about transmission and etc. I really like the idea of a none chain final drive, byt have been wondering wether is or is not reliable. Thanks Marco
@tomaal3 жыл бұрын
yep, timing chain tensioner, with OEM chain is slamming around in the engine cover and causes rattle. Could cause to skip a tooth on the sprocket and then... cry cry cry :P There's a good chance most of the Ks have the upgraded tensioner by now. As for driveshaft its more reliable than a chain, its safer for you and the bike, looks better, its less maintenance, its smoother ride and acceleration. Only draw back is the slight power loss, its heavier and less efficient so you loose couple of ponies between the engine and the road. It has a plenty of power so I think positive outweigh the negatives.
@marcoaurelio69413 жыл бұрын
Totally agree with you! Looks way better. Thanks for the heads up regarding the tensioner, will most certainly have a look on that when buying it. I believe listening to the engine carefully would be enough to acknowledge that issue what do you think? Regarding the driveshaft, im really pleased to hear you haveny got any problems, thats really great news for me. Do you do the maintenance by your own? If not, and comparing to another bikes, do you find this one more expensive regarding parts and labor? Thank you for replying
@tomaal3 жыл бұрын
@@marcoaurelio6941 It was so long ago I can't recall the rattle noise so I can't tell now. yeah, I do it on my own, check my channel I have a video on the driveshaft, one tube of grease and a bit of oil it's all you need to maintain it once a year. Other bits are the same as in other bikes like oil, filters, pads etc so the same maintenance costs minus the cost of chain, sprockets and chain lube

HI FerroH1338, I had new tensioner fitted. No rattle now. But that wasn't the main reason why I changed it, I simply didn't want cam chain slamming around in the engine cover, which would lead to jumping a sprocket tooth and sending my pistons crashing into the now out of sync valves. ;)

Hi TomaaL, If there is no rattle now I'm glad to know. On my K1200S I still have the first tensinoer, the one with the metal plate. So I am thinking of buying the "new" tensor and replace. But I was undecided about putting the new BMW tensioner or before, a manual tuning tensioner for example the ape? And yes, I do not like anything either, that might happen, jump the chain. Thank you very much.
