- In this episode of the BMW F800GS service videos, I remove the spark plugs, take off the valve cover and measure the valve clearances. However, there's a surprise lurking in there which shows that you never can be sure of what's waiting for you when you start a service.

I know the music is loud in this one, apologies for that. I've learnt a lot since and lowered the volume quite a lot in the later videos. I hope you're not too deaf from this video to watch more of my videos.
Thanks Jocke. Was just doing the valve clearances and found you had actually gone to the effort of making a video for people! Thanks very much for that, although it isnt a difficult job it's great to check what you think needs doing on a video rather than as you go! I dont really wish upon you clearances that need adjusting, but when/if you do a video of changing a shim would top it off (although it's only a couple of extra bolts and a bit of maths extra!). Thanks again, appreciate your time and effort for the benefit of others :-)
Hi, thanks for the kind words. Glad the video was of use. When it comes to replacing shims, I'll make sure I film it and post it here on CZcams. And hopefully my videos will have better quality than this one in the future. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for the useful information👍
You're very welcome! Glad it was useful. 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Thx so much for the video !
You're most welcome! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Good Vid!! The music FFS I am concentrating
Sorry about the music; I've learnt a lot since editing this video, I hope you're not too deaf to enjoy the lower music in the newer videos!
Hello thank you for your videos are very useful.
I have a bmw f 700gs. I have problems of ignition EWS ring aerial code, could you make a video of how to change the aerial ring? please. Thank you
Hi, thanks for watching! I replied to this question on the Fuel Pump video czcams.com/video/dfIeIjYyBj4/video.html Hope you get it fixed!
Love the material. Any chance you could do something on changing out the water pump? Mine is starting to weep and it looks like the whole engine must come out. Not keen on doing this exercise mate. Keep it up, cheers
Thanks Joe! 😎👍🏻
I'll stick the water pump on the list of wanted videos. Sadly for you, both of our water pumps seem fine and there's no need to change them, so don't hold your breath for a video about it. I tend to make the videos when there's something that we need to fix, so if you want, you can wish for a water pump breakdown for us! 🤣 (Please don't! 🤣)
Having had a quick look on the Interwebs, I don't see why the engine would need to come out. Looks to me, like the cover needs to come off and the rest can be accessed from there, probably very fiddly, but doable? I've not checked the Haynes manual - which I recommend you get regardless - but it might explain why the engine might have to come out. Hope you get it fixed!
Thanks Jocke,
I was just chatting to the guys on the GS forum and it looks like a fiddly task though.At least the motor doesn't have to come out.Thanks for the prompt reply . Keep up the good work and keep safe.
Regards
Joe
Классное видео ничего не понимаю что говорят но если ты в теме то все ясно спасибо брат
Пожалуйста, извините, я не говорю по-русски! 😎👍🏻
Hello
Know where I can find repair manual for bmw f800 st???
Hi, the Haynes manual I mention in the first episode covers the ST model as well as the GS.

Bugger, great video and why did I not listen carefully as I broke the plastic slider on the timing chain :(
Thanks! Sorry to hear you broke the slider! 😢
@@JockeSelin At least it is a cheap part :) and hopefully someone in the future will take more notice than me. Thanks again for your great videos
You’re most welcome. Hope you get it sorted quickly and keep me posted, please. 😎👍🏻👍🏻
What was the torque setting on the spark plug?
18Nm
@@northern_gs4181 thank you so much
How often check spark plug and valve ?
On our bikes (2009) the service manual says spark plugs at 24,000 miles and check valve clearances at 12,000 miles. However please do check your service book as this is dependent on the bike and year model.
Bro, how much the battery charger
I can't remember, as it's between 10 and 15 years old. It could have been about 80GBP at the time. For a motorcycle I recommend the CTEK XS0.8 charger amzn.to/3ApvDrQ (affiliate link). This one you can leave connected if you want to, and it will also recondition your battery if it has gone flat.
How many km or miles you have on your bike?
As stated in the intro czcams.com/video/XElZPuxeZsc/video.html this bike has about 54,000 miles / 87,000 km.
Thy! Did you change anything on the engine? Valve chain or something before?
This bike was in quite a mess when I started working on it. All episodes E1 through to E10 are done on this particular bike. czcams.com/play/PL8jQwCTD3HjowIG6IL-9GXIq23IhEg43S.html The cam chain was replaced in E8. Valve clearances were within tolerances.
Good video, but please lose the music or take the volume way down.
Hi Gil, thanks for the feedback. I'm still learning and I find the audio part quite difficult, I'll do my best to improve on the upcoming edits.

To each his own but I enjoyed the music, better than just watching someone work quietly personally.
what makes the current curve like this in commands
Sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking about.
why do you have this cam chain slack?
@@aeciosilva4383 Worn out, see E8 for replacement.
hi jocke..I have seen some of your videos, great info about the F800 GS....I just got a used f800 GS 2012....60k miles on the engine. here is my question...I noted a water swept between the cylinder and the top end.. I am thinking of removed the topend and replace the gasket...do you know the torque specs for the cylinder head bolts ??...and any other info that I may need thanks a lot for your time !!!
@@alexarsot Hi Alex! Thanks for the kind words. I would highly recommend that you get the Haynes Manual for the F800GS. It’s a pretty decent manual (some of them can be a bit useless, but this one is good). Alternatively, you can get the BMW Workshop Manual, but I don’t know of a legit way of acquiring that one, so you might have to figure that one out by yourself. 😉
I do think the Haynes Manual is a great investment if you want to do your own servicing. Sorry I can’t be of much more help! Good luck and thanks again!
@ Jocke Selin, your videos are great , but just some advise for a drastic improvement , could you please consider not adding that annoying distracting background music to your videos . It’s twice as loud as your voice and to watch your video it means I painfully have to constantly turn down the music (as it’s so rediculously loud compared to your voice ) , meaning that each time you speak I again must turn the vocal up ,.., This again is always followed by getting my ears blasted by the distracting music again as I alarmingly try to lower the volume again ..,
Only again to be forced to crank it up the volume yet again to hear you speak .., it’s so painfully annoying to repeatedly keep doing so.
Thanks for the feedback. I am aware that I’m having issues with matching the sound levels, but I didn’t know it was that bad. I’ll do my best to improve. Thanks again.
Can never hear you in your videos! :(
I'm sorry about that, Ryan. I tend to mumble in real life, but since recording this video with very rudimentary equipment I have learnt a lot, and I hope you find my more recent videos clearer. Thanks for persisting with my bad videos. 😔👍🏻
