Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. It is very helpful and confidence inspiring.

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort to make this video. It is very clear and concise. Nice slide hammer👍

The red brake grease is for internal hydraulic components at assembly. "Rubber Grease" that is rubber and fluid inert. No reason to use it externally, it's not meant for that. A tiny smear of molybdenum if you are paranoid-but also not really necessary as the piston pushes-not slides- against the brake pad. You don't want anything that is lubricating near brake components. The rubber grease you use will just melt and run onto the disk then the pads.

Imagine building something so weak that it crumbles after 10 years or so because the plastic gets old. Cmon bmw! Not like headlights are important!

This has been helpful, thank you so much. One piece of advice though, when you use words to emphasize something, please keep them on screen for little bit longer.

😊😅

Very helpful. Thanks a lot 🙂

Hy buddy! Do you know the part number please? Great video

Cheers from California. Just wanted to thank you for your splendid videos. Helped me a lot with my 2001 R100RT.

Any idea how to install the gascap ring back on once removed? The plastics won't fit!

very well-done job, excellent video, I have an R1200R 2007 and it's basically the same, BMW made some homework on those bikes so on the new models you do not have to disassemble the whole rear arm in order to extract the driveshaft and that is a beauty. I managed somehow to replace the boots and grease the splines without taking off the rear arm...but it was not easy to connect back the shaft to its place.

zorgvuldig gedaan 👍niet beter olie vol gieten? en olie 15w50 ? ik gebruik 5w40,ook goed?

Thxs great vid

I simply wonder why BMW didn’t make the oil pouring hole on the top of the final gear case on the right side so that you don’t have to remove the wheel.

How often should the final drive oil be changed?

Might sound like a daft question but how long was the wood prop you used please

Very helpful, thanks a lot.

How do you keep your wheels looking like new? I wash the bike with car shampoo including scrubbing the wheels but they just look dirty. Thanks for this video, now I I know how to change the pads!

what tool did you use to remove fill plug?

Excellent, no gimmicks, just the facts.

Many thanks

Excellent video!

Excellent work! Thanks so much!

Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time. Just used it to remove the front wheel on my 2005 GS so I could put a new tire on it.

Bravo très bon tuto 👍… pas de frein filet sur les vis ?

I can’t find these lights anywhere on eBay, need to do the same thing but all the casings seem to be different. Won’t find using references either.

What a great series for any TDM owner, especially us newbies getting into it for the first time! Thank you for making this

Just replaced my 1998 starter tonight…..thanks to this video it went like a breeze! Really appreciate your work! Ride safe!

Super film

Is there any thing that needs to be done to the rotor as far as turning it like a cars rotor?

Nice video. Not sure if mine is on the way out on my R1200RT but every now and then I press the starter and it turns once, then dies. Sometimes if I hold the button down longer than 2 sec it drains the power until a factory reset happens. Usually only happens once after a short ride if I'm getting petrol or going shopping, so engine is still warm. And if I let go, let the battery recover for a few secs it then starts as normal. Battery shows 12v+ on the dash with engine off

thanks! would an H4 LED also work proberly?

No music…yeah!

lifesaver... mockingbird hill

Отлично!

Why all those parts ,just remove fuel tank bolts and lift it,battery will be right under it.

Ciao e scusa ma negli snodi della albero non si mette niente? Non andrebbe grasso? Forse 🤔 no perché schizerebbe?

Ciao e complimenti un italiano ti segue 😊 scusa gli spessimitri son tutti uguali o devo comprare una buona marca e se sì quali è quali hai usato... Grazie e buona vita da Luigi

How much mm is it from bottom dead center to top dead center??

Thanks for your videos. They are a fantastic 'how to' resource

Straightforward and clearly done. Well done sir and thank you!

👍 спасибо

Is it best to lube the actual pistons too, if so what's best to use? Cheers

just place bike on center stand remove rear shock remove 2 bolts from battery box open battery box with 2 screws remove battery

Super merci 😊

Вы лучший спасибо! You are the best!!

I think for someone who isnt sure this video only shows how to wire in the lamp. Showing the power being wired in also would be more helpful

❤

Very helpful. Is there a special reason that you fitted the Copper extension piece? I also noticed that you didn't had to remove the tank, contrary to other videos about BMW battery change.

Are those all really allen key bolts? Most of the fasterners on my 2010 GS are Torx. Watching all that beautiful bodywork come off reminds me why I prefer naked bikes when I have to do my own maintenance.
