BMW R1100RT Brake Line Replacement
How to replace the brake lines on your BMW R1100RT. The model I am working on is a 1999, but the process should be the same for all years. The process isn't overly difficult and its a good job to do if its never been done before. Thanks for watching.

Yamaha V-Star 1100 Oil Leak Fix (2006)
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.Год назад
Welcome to my channel! Today I’m fixing an oil leak on my 2006 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado. Recently, the bike has been smoking when sitting still. Having done some research, I’ve determined the cylinder head cover above the exhaust to be my culprit. If your bike is having a similar problem, hopefully you’ll find this video useful. Thanks for watching!

Welcome to my channel! Today we are getting my 1981 Honda Silverwing to run with the new pod filter setup. There is still more work to be done, but I’m excited to have the bike running and riding. As this is my first project, there are things I would love to change or do differently. As a first attempt, though, I’m fairly pleased with my work.

Suzuki Savage (Boulevard S40) Oil Leak Fix
Просмотров 18 тыс.2 года назад
Welcome to my channel! Today we are fixing a significant oil leak on my 2001 Suzuki Savage (Suzuki Boulevard S40). This head plug is one of the most common causes for oil leaks on these bikes. The top end was rebuilt and the head gasket was replaced, so this is almost certainly our issue. With some common hand tools and a willingness to get dirty, this project can be done at home in an afternoon!

Honda GL500 Oil Change

Welcome to my channel! Today we are doing an oil change on my 1981 Honda Silverwing. The process for changing motorcycle oil is fairly similar across most bikes, so feel free to consider this a “how to” video.
These bikes are future classics. I have 2 GSs, S and an RT. Given how cheap they have become it is the best moment to grab a post 1997 good one and enjoy the ride. Personally I am fixed on this lineup and there is nothing these bikes cannot do. Do not understand upgrading to 1150 AT ALL. The 1200 post 2007 through 2009 is the only sensible option but good pieces are usually 4x the price of a good 1100. Best regards from Poland. 🇵🇱 ❤
Slow down on camera movement!
This leak was fixed on my bike by getting s new rubber plug without any sealer on or around the plug. It's now fixed. One thing I did extra was make a pattern with a piece of card board. There's like 14 bolts on the valve cover gasket and about six different lengths. I sketched the bolt pattern by hand then I pushed every bolt into my pattern then you got to leave the highest bolt loose in the valve cover before assembling. He used way way to muck red and DON'T put sealer around the rubber plug, ( I did that the first time and my plug leaked) did all over again using RED per instructions and I've been good for 2 years. Also changed the o-rings on the valve inspection holes. I had one bolt vibrate loose, but I check them once in a while. This bike vibrates so checking bolts should be part of maintenance. And turn the petcock off brother, next time or risk making a bond fire out of your bike.
Had to screenshot this to save it. Spectacular idea.
5:44 That 1/2 inch nipple sticking out by where your hand it, where a hose attaches to it and goes to the air box, is that a pcv valve or just a breather nipple ?
TRUTH: suzuki screw -up.... 2025.. they make a seal that fits super tight ..$ 11.89 + 2.99 tax. + ship .. ;like 15 $ for a rubber plug:>( .. omg. !!!
omg.. : 1 cup oil loss every tank !!! s40... im sure i got small valve cover leaks.. turns allum.. darker color .. like oil seep... some say : sealant was old black type.. and drys out! so i will do as you on red sealant= dat stuff is awesome!.. agrees 1 guy= be liberal the sealant.. like i just smear it thin!!! i use 90 % alcohol to clean it last time before apply sealant 650 heat/ gas risistant RED... ! LET ME KNOW ..what caused leak ? how fixed that plug.. 2 down bro.... godbless
Install a high current battery. This will help prevent the voltage value from being pulled down during start up.
Will this work with a check engine light
У меня такой же, только 400 кубов, 1994 год, 30000 километров пробег, пробег родной)
Do you dip the oil with the dip stick screwed in or just placed inside
not screwed in, bike on center stand
im starting my build on on my 1982 honda gl500 looks like we are doing something similar where are you finding the parts that fit? im looking for a gas tank but dont want to pay 3-500 for a used tank
Delete the smog canister
Please create links for me! I wanna build this tomorrow. Btw love the videos on this
great help, having the same issue with my bike, thank you for the video
Where did you get the valve covers???
I just used a high-heat paint to refinish them. Sanding the surface allows you to remove paint on anything that isn’t recessed.
@@kxnrxd4908 awesome!
A buddy of mine has three and one of them has 376k miles. Miles not Km!
Do you think this would be the same for a 2003? I'm about to do it tomorrow
All these bikes are pretty much the same!
Just got mine same bike...
Excellent video on this subject! I’m a new BMW RT owner and found this video invaluable! Congrats to KXNRXD for a job well done! Keep up the good work.
Nice video, do you know the name of the retainer you changed?
The color should be Avus black witch is nice. You cam use the R1150 rims and R1150RT front fork with Japanese calipers. Than you have 15 mm bigger frontbrakes and better calipers. Faster acceleration due to 17 inch rear wheel instead of 18 inch. you can also use R1150GS final drive to gain 6% acceleration vs less top speed.
No need for better brakes on this bike. If working proper they are sack crusher.
@@motooilermotooiler9597 Ya, you can lock the front wheel and slide along, but the R1150 wheels look so much nicer and the brake disks are 15 mm bigger using Japanese calipers. also the wheels look much more open, see through with the new mounting position witch is on the wheel itself rather than sing a disc to mount to the center.
@@motooilermotooiler9597 Yo do need a different spacer on the back wheel to be able to mount R1150 wheels, the old caliper of the R1100RS seems to work though, but the GS, R, RT used the newer caliper, the R1150 wheel spacer is thinner than the R1100 spacer, these will probably get tossed away at salvage or braker yards.
Awesome video. I have that bike's cousin, an R1100RS, and It is an absolute dream. It has the same occasional issue with the ABS throwing a fault when I first go to start it, though it goes away upon a quick restart. I LOVE the touring bags on it, they're so slick. The bike, which has about 90 horsepower, feels freaking FAST, and I love how much grunt and oomph it has throughout the gear spans - it has such a wide and smooth power-band. 90's era oilheads freaking ROCK!!!!!
R1100RS was the first of the R1100 "platform" in '93/94. I'm rebuilding a R1100RS with R1150RS 6 speed gearbox, frame, handlebar controls due to hydraulic clutch, front fork, brakes, rims and a R1150 Rockster telelever wishbone, R1150GS final drive for different sprockets, witch should give me an aditional 6% acceleration, but less top speed.
the pistons are approx 100 mm wide vs 70 mm stroke, that's the cause of the power. There is is German company that sells a 1200 cc upgrade, forged pistons of 102 mm. That same company also makes race piston for cars.
@@AnalogDude_ Oh wow, that sounds awesome!!!!
@@AnalogDude_ This piston kit sounds like it would be amazing, I'd be super curious about the HP gain from the extra 100 cc's. I'm guessing you'd need new heads then? I'm not that mechanically inclined, but it sounds like it would be an awesome project.
@@lukaspriest Wössner, i would use cylinders from scrapped engine and have therm rebored and so. but the ecu also maybe needs a remap, no sure, you gotta ask them. Some "tuber" said he used that to up rate his GS and he loved it.
How would you be forcing contaminants into the ABS system if you have the lid off the master cylinder?
The ABS module is in-line between the brake caliper and the fluid reservoir. Any fluid going up to the reservoir when reverse bleeding is passing through the ABS unit first from my understanding.
Any recommendations for removing all that silicone if someone else did it? Lol Cant get the plate off its glued down
Thank you, I did as you instructed,and problem solved
I’m glad! Please consider liking and subscribing! It helps my channel a lot!
Which bar end mirrors are these
just some no-name… the mirrors and brake/clutch levers are not stock but came on the bike when I got it. I was able to track down a similar set on Amazon here: a.co/d/6WsHN9I (I’m not an affiliate, I don’t receive anything if you’d rather look it up independently). Please consider subscribing though!
Thank you
Kudos to you for the time and effort to make the video. Front calipers will come off if you remove the two bolts and then rock the calipers side to side to push the pads away from the rotor. Since front reservoir is the highest point, the front will gravity bleed with gentle pumping as long as the hole in the master cylinder is not blocked. Last bit of air in the front is removed by pumping the handle and then tying it pulled back overnight. While you had the rear caliper off you should have pushed the rubber bellows away and greased the two caliper guide pins. If the other pad pin was corroded, the guide pins might be also. That would prevent the caliper from moving away from the rotor and would cause excessive wear to the brake pad on one side, and possibly excessive rotor wear.
An interesting point you make about tying the brake lever back to the bar overnight. I hear a lot of people talking about this. I speak as someone who has ridden all my life, raced successfully, built countless race bikes and restorations and have a large collection of motorcycles which I enjoy maintaining. With the brake lever pulled back, the fluid return hole to the master cylinder reservoir is blocked off - if not, the brake couldn't provide pressure to the calipers. So how does air escape from the system? If the lever isn't pulled back the return hole is open, therefore allowing air a much better chance to escape into the reservoir. I'm not saying the tied back lever doesn't have an effect (placebo?) but in my experience this has been temporary if at all. As you probably know, when releasing the brake lever the caliper pistons are drawn away from the disc by the minute flex in the piston seals. Could it be that tying the lever back and applying very firm pressure for an extended period allows the pistons to assume a new position in the seals thus initially reducing the lever travel required to apply the brake? Or could it be that older rubber brake hoses get some of the flex stretched out of them giving a firmer feel, albeit temporarily? One thing's for sure, there ain't no air escaping with the lever pulled.
The concept with tying the handle back, is that it pressurizes the line which forces any air bubbles up to the master cylinder. The air will be evacuated once the front lever is released. It’s not placebo. I’ve had two 1100RT bikes for a total of over 240,000 miles. I’ve replaced lines, rotors, pads. I’ve flushed the brakes to get rid of a soft lever.
@@guymersh3148 Thanks for engaging with my channel, I really appreciate it! I reference a lot of old forums and use manuals/diagrams when I can, but I also let my intuition guide my decision making sometimes: here’s the process as I worked through it… maybe seeing my logic might provide some clarity (ultimately the process firmed up my brakes, and my ABS system is working as it should). By leaving the line pressurized for a set duration, air will be naturally forced to work its way up to the master. After tapping the lines in a few places to move any additional trapped air up, I then cracked the banjo bolt connected directly to the master and bled from there. That specific process isn’t about removing air from the lines… rather MOVING air WITHIN the lines in order to help to bleeding process. I finished with one final bleed at the front calipers and got really great lever feel.
could you point out where both of those vaccuum lines are going? i just have the one vaccum line from the right cylinder carb, but my second vacuum line port on the petcock is just open still, do you know the purpose of that second vacuum line? I feel like this is the reason for my weird idle and fuel delivery issues.
Thanks for posting this! I just picked up one of these bikes cheap and I need to do this :-)
Thanks, buddy. Prepping to do my first solo oil change on my ‘82 GL500 today. Always nice to see it before doing it. Then I’ll be set to ride. Once it gets to 50 degrees, anyway. Blessings!
How did you get to the bolt under the little cover on the seat side of the engine? I have all but that 1 off. I'm stuck!
I was able to fit a small 1/4" ratchet with a 10mm socket there and was able to loosen it, and then unscrew it with my fingers
I have the same Savage 650 1998 since 2002... 185 thousand kilometers through Brazil and the south of South America...
they’re such simple bikes. super easy to keep running!
Dig it I'm getting same bike tomorrow
Got mine circa three weeks ago. Imported to my country because theres none. A gorgeous red, full fairing and panniers (sadly no key) and some extras. Its all ripped apart by now, for quadruple bypass 😂
Always liked the look of this bike. Test rode one and was surprised at the Torque and quickness.
Another ruined GL500 Custom. It is getting harder to find an original bike and prices are going up very quickly. Need to buy one now before the youngsters with angle grinders destroy all of them.
Totally objective man. I’ve ridden the heck out of this bike and saved it from certain scrap. So call it what you will, but the soul of the bike is still on the road and being enjoyed. If you’re such a vintage Honda enthusiast, just buy one. If a “youngster with an angle grinder” can afford one, I’m sure you can too! Happy riding!
What tank phone mount is that ????
Thanks for sharing!
O no! You forgot to put back and but and bolt to hold down the beauty cover (that nut and bot also holds that cover of the valve cover
Hi! Where do you bought this gasket kit and what is it reference? Thanks
I purchased this 4 pack of O Rings online from Amazon.
@@kxnrxd4908 could you give me the link? Please. I need it to solve the same problem with my XVS1100 Custom. Thanks
@@kxnrxd4908 do you have a link to the parts
FYI, its an O ring, not a gasket.
Technically an O Ring can be referred to as a gasket, but not always the other way around. Like if I were to say rectangle, but it was actually a square. Both are correct, but one is more specific. I appreciate your viewership and engagement!
Your a good dude
Does this motor have a PCV valve on it that may be blocked ??? My breather hose that comes off the top side valve cover that went to the air intake box (removed) shoots oil OUT when im reving the engine in 1st gear ... It idle its fine but as i get into 1st gear and ride off, its spitting out oil ....
RTV silicone eeeew. Should use Hondabond or equivalent. RTV dissolves into gooey motor worms.
The GLs are so nice and comfortable, why chop them up? Admittedly, long legs are a bit problematic.
doesnt hurt these bikes to run 65-70 all day long, its aa short stroke engine and it needs to be in the upper RPMs , anything under 5 grand is lugging the engine. Keep it in 4th around town.
Please god dont ruin this bike with a cafe bullshit.
Just got an 82 gl 500. Father in-law said if i can get it to start i can have it. It was sitting for almost 8 years. Thank you. Your very informative on this bike
