The D915 Bayburt Of Yolu Road. The Most Extreme Road in the World.
The road has been titled the D@@th Road or the Most Extreme Road in the World. (In the over hyped press.) Yes it is 40km’s of 29 gravel switchbacks in one of the most beautifully distracting landscapes I have ever seen. And 40kms of un protected shear drops make you very aware of your bike control 🥵. But in the perfect weather conditions I was lucky enough to have and only dealing with one car this road with its lack of any form of safety barriers was a little unnerving and I took it slow but wow what a rush!! #d915 #extremeroad #deathroad #perfectweather #f650gs #f650gsdakar #bmwmotorrad #gravelroads #switchbacks #hairpinbends #whatarush #northturkey #sheardrops #mountainvalleys

      Hi, I am pretty sure this is the standard 112 link chain. I have since replaced the chain again for a 114 link chain and brought the wheel back to almost its max to increase the wheel base and thus the stability of the bike. I saw it on another YT video for a different bike. 9000kms on the road to mongolia and so far so good.

    Hey Phil, glad to see that you didn’t take off the swing arm. The Haynes Service & Repair manual said to take the Swing Arm off. I couldn’t understand why that would have to happen if replacing the chain and sprockets, didn’t make any sense. Thanks for the video.👍🏼

      Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. The Haynes manual certainly is the bible but sometimes it goes too far!! They fail to explain taking the swing arm off allows you to not break the chain, say if you want to use it again. Not sure it’s worth that effort though.

    thank you , Ive watched many of your videos and they have really helped me , with repairing my own Bmw adventure bikes so I would very much like to share , what I found made that oil return line not a big deal at least for me , I literally watched all the videos of doing the clutch in my 2003 f650 gs at lest 50 times , to the point I felt I had done the job numerous times , so when I did the job , I knew where the hiccups might happen and I was able to look at like , well here we go again and I had this idea what about using a 1/4 inch extension that is 12 t0 14 inches long along with a Torx bit 1/4 inch socket of the size for that torx bolt , and I realized real quick that I could remove the control unit the one that controls the fuel injection and that was real easy which opened up space to not only see that bolt clearly, but to easily remove the bolt from that little arm , and it really wasn't that tough to move that return pipe at the same time as removing the clutch cover , and when I went to put it back I put a drop of blue locktite on the screw torx side and set that screw on that 12 inch 1/4 extension with a 1/4 inch torx bit and set it standing up for the time it took for that drop of blue lock time to set , it held that screw to the bit just fine and was real easy to get that screw down to where the the little braket on that oil return was close to the entry point of that screw the blue lite tire was strong enough to manuver the screw and even help light up the bracket to the hole , screw it in and then when it was tight just a easy leaning the extension a bit witch broke the hold of that drop of blue locktite easy peasy 😎 word of warning don't use the red locktite use the blue ive used this method 3 times now and it really takes the stress out of this job , and its not so hard to move that pipe out of the way for removal or reattachment , and thank you agin for your videos I can't thank you and others that have shared their repairs enough ride on , have a good time , thank you so much sincerely David Schoenoff.
