There aren't enough no-nonsense maintenance videos for the K16GT. Thank you very much for taking the time.
Thank you for this video!
This is gonna be my winter project.
I can't stop admiring the level and kind of engineering that goes into these bikes...
I was able to tackle this job thanks to this video. Many thanks. A tip I discovered: instead of heating up the air transfer tube and pulling it out, you can loosen the 12 screws that bolt it to the engine and remove the whole assembly. If you use L shaped torx wrenches, it’s doable. Those screws are not on very tight and you can even get the tricky ones back on with just your hand.
Totally missed this comment, sorry! That is a GREAT tip, thanks for the heads up! I better not ever need it, lol...
All well explained. Thanks!
Thanks! My production skills are still a work in progress, but it certainly has been a fun journey...
Great job on the video. Learned a few tricks from your project. I have to do my air filter and this will help with removing the required panels. Wasn’t sure how the tank panels came apart and couldn’t find anyone that has documented it before. Looking forward to watching more from you...👍👍
I'll be doing the air filter replacement in prep for a ride out to the Black Hills so your video helped. Also you might want to consider getting rid of the OEM radiator shroud and replace it with a Rad-Guard. Your temp gauge will thank you. Ride safe.
I reckon that most of a workshop bill is down to removing and replacing bodywork. I replaced fork seals on my bike recently and saved myself about €200. Thank God for CZcams.
Yes, there's a lot of disassembly required, including the radiator, etc. At $119/flat rate hour, it adds up quickly.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks Jay. Hope to see at some BMW rally 😎
Excellent video!
I appreciate it. We are working on our craft, lol.
man! now i could do that on my own :D but there are some things that are a real pain in the ass, but with videos like yours anyone could do it :D
Keep up the good work with those service videos :D
Did you need to do anything special for the coolant to take the air out?
Hello ! Very interesting video thanks.
I was interested to know how many parts I’ve to disassemble to reach the coils that, at the moment, are my goal. It seems like the operation is more than tricky! Please, how much time does it take for the full intervention? Thank you in advance. (sorry for my English but i hope that my request is clear...)
It takes a LOT of time to figure out how everything goes together. You need 45 min to take the body off, another half hour to get the radiator out. Half an hour to clean that while it's out. Another half to get the coils out. Might as well replace the plugs while you're that far in. Then reverse the process and put everything back together. 4-6 hours if you go carefully. Be sure to take tons of photos and review this video as needed! The 2nd time takes half as long.
@@JayBearjaysbigadventure thank you very much. I think that i'll spend a full saturday in october trying to follow step by step your tutorial... bye!
@@mcaselg The only thing that's hard is getting the air injection tube loose. Heat it, spray penetrating oil all over and the pry carefully. Good luck!
Hi there!
Did you need to do anything for the coolant to take the air out?
Thank you for this vid. Good reference! 👍🏽
Thanks! Be sure to watch the first part as well if you haven't already. czcams.com/video/S9cBsz9oDZs/video.html
You don't have to remove the gas cap. There's enough play in the plastic to pull it over the lip of the cap.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice video! I would have liked to have seen the removal of the coils and the tool used to do that. Is the tool really necessary and what risks are associated with not using it.
I'm sure you can find something to grab them with and just pull, but since they're so dang expensive I didn't want to risk killing a $129 coil over a $14 tool. And I'll most likely be doing 5 more on my bike, and I have a lot of friends with K1600s as well. :)
Wow. That's a lot of Tupperware !! TXS !
It sure is! What a pain. But, ya buys yer bike and ya pays the prices...
Very informative that for the great content.
Does the coil removal fill all the BMW models? I have the k1600
It fit my friend's R1200R so it wouldn't surprise me if this was a fairly standard tool. From BMW's perspective buying the coils in bulk across many lines just makes sense.
good job good skills
jay,your a genios,thanks for showing all that we nededto know,great vid,just dont get parkinsons as your hold will get shaky ,great stuff,best wishes from the UK.
BMW recommends changing plugs every 19000 miles. Don't believe them. Every 50000 is okay
I have 133,000 on my bike and thought I would change plugs when the engine sounded a bit off- and that just happened today. Will take apart with next couple of weeks with
a bit of fear in my heart...
