DMR rides the Tail of the Dragon, US129
The Ment Ryders take a trip to the Dragon, better known as US 129. Two wives followed in a chase car with most of the luggage. We rode through some heavy rain but still had an enjoyable safe transit. Met some friendly people, ate lots of good food, and visited one of the largest HD dealerships in the country. Stopped at the Wheels through Time Museum and just had a great experience. We ride Eat, and Fellowship. life is good!

How to mix pineapple sweet tea.

At wy wife's recent birthday party I mixed some ice tea that was very popular with the guests. I first tasted it at a church, Mount Pleasant Baptist in Norfolk Va. Our party coordinator asked how to mix it so I figured, making a short video was easier than writing it down. Sure it is not the only video on this. You could add many delicious variations.

2017 BMW K1600 check engine light accompanied by reduced power. Used GS-911 tool to diagnose the issue. Bad #3 ignition coil.

Replacement coil was from a company called RMSTATOR. 500 miles so far with no warnings. Notice my opening screen! there are seven coils. Got carried away w...

My 2017 K1600GT tire pressure display was giving bad or no information. The TPMS, 6 years old, needed replacement. Cost for an OEM TPMS was over $450.00 each. Decided to replace the batteries and this is how I did it. 1st time using my GoPro Hero9 Black. Also upgraded from Pinnacle 14 to 26.

Loved the video it had cinematic feal
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
"ohoho look at that" Loved it 😊😁
Hi Tony! Just thought I'd check to see if the RM stator coil is still performing as it should. Looks like it has been about 11 months since the replacement now, and according to the RM Stator website, they have a 2 year warranty. I haven't had any coils fail yet on my 2012 K1600GT, but I like to do a bit of research ahead of time so the job will be easier if/when I need to do it. By the way...I bought the BMW maintenance/service manual CD back in 2012 right after I bought my bike. I'd be happy to burn a copy and mail it to you if you'd like. I find it to be VERY helpful...often times I use it in conjunction with RUclips videos such as yours!
Yes, the coil is working great. Have had no problems whatsoever. As for the CD, that is a very generous offer. I will get back to you, thanks!
Tony, that was sure painful to watch. I wanted jump in and give you a hand.
Yes, it was an experience. Always use equipment the way it was designed to be the 1st try. Then expeirment with alternate methods. I have become much better at it and am still most pleased with the purchase. Thanks for enduring the pain and watching.
@@tonycarthan6425 After changing dirt bike tires for like 45 years on my knees I bought a tire stand. Never attempted the BMW GSA tires. Tired paying the dealer so watching some videos just getting the old wheels turning. Thanks for the video. Like the hare scrambles shirt.
@danarussell4246 45 years, that's a lot of knobbys. This changer, in my opinion, is worth every $$$ I paid. Thanks for watching and commenting. .
It's really good to see you brothers, and sisters out having a wonderful time, God bless you all.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing. You need to knock the dust off that 109 😁
Just came across this video great job my friend I’m looking into buying a k1600 and love working on my current bike. Did you have the service manual for the bike just curious
No I do not. BMW makes it difficult to get service information. Its not like the old days when you could buy a paper manual. Now everything is on a CD and is rather expensive so out of reach to most of us. There is a fellow on the K1600 Forum who has a maintenance CD that is affordable but I dont have it. As you can see from the video, I just make it up as I go LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You brothers have some beautiful Bikes, stay safe and travel light.
Wow you have lovely feet 😍 buddy, I bet you can type 200 words a minute with claws like that,
Tanks you tony i fixed too
You are welcome and thanks for watching.
One brave man! 👏👏👏👏👏. Thanks for taking time to video.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanx Tony great vid, I’ve got a GTL exclusive and found a pair of these TPMS sensors for 25$ on EBay.
My battery fix only lasted a few months. Dont know how long these batteries sat on the shelf. I also found sensors on Amazon for less than $30.00. Had to enlarge the bolt hole a little for the bolt to pass through but they have been working great since install. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You are one crazy brother Tony! But you sure can fix things! LOL. I have a 2019 Ford Econoline with the sane issue. Keep up the good work.DD in Los Angeles
Thanks for the compliment and for watching.
BMW dealer charged me $450 for 2 sensors and bolts for my 2007 F800ST. Ridiculous. Saved the original ones and definitely will replace batteries myself next time.
Find a better source for the batteries. One of the ones I used started going bad a few months later. I found sensors on Amazon for about $30.00 and they have been working great. You will need a programming tool to set them up if you dont already have one. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Hi tony. Thanks for the vieo, your explanations and good way to manage the amount of bolts, pieces, to be removed. Take care about netherlands biscuits...they have a lot of butter..bad for the suspension.
Thanks for the advice and for watching.
Thanks Tony, this was a big help.
You are welcom and thanks for watching.
Ha! Money can't buy happiness!! Anyone who says that isn't spending it right!! Do u think this unit would handle ATV tires?
It can handle rims as small as 10 inch diameter. I would say yes but have nothing to back my theory.
Happy Birthday Tony!
Since I don't have a GS-911, do you know if the OBD2 readers you can borrow at Autozon will work on the bike? I would have to get a converter cable (From BMW round connecter to the rectangular one of the OBD2).
I would not recommend useing anything that is not designed for your bike. Have heard the wrong device could dammage the system. The GS911 is expensive but money well spent.
@@tonycarthan6425 What about this "Motoscan" App with OBD blue tooth device some people on the forums recommend?? Not going to buy a GS device. Will sell the bike, it is a financial drain.
Yes I have read the same. That is designed spicificalky for motorcycle use but I have no experience with the product.
Good job Tony. Have you tried the new sensors sold for cheap on Alibaba and Timu ? do they work on these bikes? My rear one keeps going in and out.
a.co/d/9o3cwAe a.co/d/1R2OJvy I did eventually replace the repaired sensors with ones from Amazon in the link above. Had to enlarge the hole for mounting bolt a little bit but they are working. The readings are not exact but are consistent. I used a GS911 to reprogram the new sensors and a cheep wake up tool, also in the link above. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting.
@@tonycarthan6425 Thanks Tony but I don't buy anything from Amazon as I hate it with passion. Also I don't have nor want to spend the crazy money to buy a GS911. I am basically tired of this nonsense where one has to replace sensors and buy scanners instead of simply checking the tire pressure the old fashion way....who thought this is a good idea.!! I am sick of the K1600 and it's endless issues. Just had the rear shock rebuilt by EPM in NJ. Now the shock will not go up and down, it was doing that just fine before. Most likely I will sell the bike or set it on fire. I am happy with my old 1999 RT. Reliable and does not have all these endless issues.
@@AB-hx9hs Sorry you feel that way. Most any brand of motorcycle, car,TV, washing machine, purchased these days come with an increased degree of complexity. If you are a DIY consumer, you must adapt and acquire the appropriate tools. I owned a 1979 Suzuki GS1000N. It had spoke wheels, chain drive, carburetors, a cable driven speedometer ect... I loved that bike. As time and technology advanced, I followed and adapted. Just my opinion. Hope things work out for you.
Good video! Harley guy here. I want a k1600 but I’m short.
I am not tall.. Can only put one foot flat on the ground. I believe the K1600 Grand America is much lower but not my style. Dont know about the GTL models. They make aftermarket seats that are a bit lower.. Good luck my vertically challenged brother. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice! But what does DMR stand for?
The first screen in the video explaines it. Only on screen for a short time so you have to hit pause to read it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Aha! Got it! Somehow skipped it... Sorry!
THIS brotha made a Shtihl Movie! An im STILL watchin! Bravo Sir🙏🏽
Thanks for the comment and for STILL watching!
Cheers Tony, good video actually using the product instead of a sales pitch!
Thanks for watching and commenting. The unit is still working great.
The dealership would would want 3k, plus the shock.....Great job Sir !!!
Yes I saved $$$$. Thanks for commenting and watching.
What a waste of my time...didnt even show flush. Gfy
Sorry, I did the video after the repair.😞 Thanks for watching anyway.
Hi Tony: Let me ask you a question. I know my Rear shock is gone, the dealer confirmed this. I already removed the Rear Shock. An independent mechanic shock tells me the front is gone too (He says he can tell just by looking at it). I did the bounce test you did in your video but my bike was on the Center Stand (Not the side one), the front bounces just once then it stops, it does not bounce multiple times like yours (I did this after I removed the Rear Shock). Does this mean the Front Shock is OK?? Removing the front is a lot more work than the Rear and I don't want to do it if I don't have to. I am getting the shock rebuilt. What do you think?? Thank you.
I did my test with the kickstand up and the full weight of the bike. Unless the shock is leaking you can't really tell if it is bad by looking at it. In my opinion the bounce test is the best way. A rebuilt OEM shock will be as good as what you had before the failure. I have had great luck so far with the Tractive unit.
Hi Tony, Do you have to remove the front wheel to do this? And lift it off the ground or can the wheel stay on the ground and remove the shock ? Also, can the Gas tank be pushed back to gain access to the bolt or does it have to be completely removed ?? Thanks.
I have had comments that state you can remove the lower control arm bolts and swing the wheel out of the way. I honestly dont know because I didnt try it. The tank has to be removed to access the top bolt.
Dedicated, persistent, meticulous is all I can say. I have a great deal of respect for you.
Thank you so much for the compliment and for watching.
Could I get the part number for the door man connections

Hope mine doesn’t go bad. Unfortunately the dealer will be doing it. I don’t have the patience for that. lol. You did a great job. Very informative.
Sorry I did the video after the repair 😞 Thanks for watching anyway.
Dang you cut cleanly and geometrically
It's an OCD thing!😁

Found it, Radiator cap removal ruclips.net/video/lOGCoZscq44/видео.htmlsi=i_dNcbM41Hvvw_6D&t=74
Thank you Tony for your valuable video on this subject. Started this job tonight. Mine is running worse and worse over last year, still no check engine though. Wondering if i have corroded coil or plug causing it. Anyway bought 6 rm stator coils and ngk plugs. Not messing about once in there. Packed up for the night at point of removing the secondary air tube. Started tug on it with tyre spoons. Been scouring the internet for tips, not many around. Tempted to go at it with wd40 and hot air gun, before trying again?! Also cannot work out how to remove the radiator cap, but wondering now if you need to loosen it then push down and turn to undo it the rest of the way? Might allow the stop position in the cap to clear the plastic interference? Interesting job this one.
Dont give up on the radiator cap. It is very difficult to remove but iwill come off. Spray the air tube with a good penetrating lube like PB Blaster and work carefully. Best of luck to you and thanks for watching.
Fill the reservoir, open the cap just to brake the seal and the coolant will go in, once filled and just tighten the radiator cap back and refill the reservoir.
Thanks, Hind Sight is always clearer. I will know next time. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cheers Tony, just had a coil fail (my second) mine is #4. Thought i'd watch your video as a reminder. Great video.
Excellent, hope it helps. learn from my mistakes and successes. That's why I include the bad and the good.
Thanks for the review. Good job very informative!
You are welcom. Had fun doing it.
Appreciate the video. Just a heads up, check steel if it is stainless steel with a magnet is not the correct way. One can actually have magnetic ss.
Yes you are absolutely correct. If the steel is not pure stainless it will have a percentage of ferrous metal and will be attracted to a magnet. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@tonycarthan6425 Yes, and there is SS made that way. Examples are 409, 430 and 439 stainless steel. Best way to test if it is stainless is to use a drop of copper sulfite, it should discolor the steel within a minute. It does not discolor the ferrite stainless, but do discolor the fake stainless.

change your PTU fluid as well.
Yes I have been doing it every other engine oil change. I extended the PTU vent so that it is in the engine compartment. This makes filling the unit much easier. So far the fluid has been clean and no heavy debris are on the magnetic drain plug. Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing.
It's a very good machine !! It's a pleasure to see you so enjoy with your machine 👍have a good time !! (I'm French)
Thank you for your comment and subscription I have never been to France. I will be posting some new content soon. Mostly motorcycle related.
A man with spirit! I like your style brother.
I appreciate that and thanks for watching.
Nice clip!! Let me know when you’re ready to ride a real bike!!! Roll with KRT and you’ll be looking like a model by the end of summer.
Since you brought it up. I did eventually replace the repaired units with some purchased from Amazon. a.co/d/1igPUer They have been working great. I did have to enlarge the hole for the mounting bolt, just a bit, but so far they have been working great. You will need a tool to program the bike to recognize the new sensors. I used a GS.911 and a cheep wake up box a.co/d/9o3cwAe Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I believe that your biggest problem is you are using the demounting/mounting bar backwards(reversed?). The grab handle should be facing away from the center bar allowing you to grab it and help pull around when mounting. Also, put a strap through the wheel and around one of the 3 base bars to keep your wheel from spinning. NoMar says you don't need it, but I think it helps greatly. Lastly, mounting to your van is great for space savings but your rear shocks were bouncing as you applied pressure, thus losing some of your force. Put a jack under the rear (hitch) to stop it's bouncing. Just some ideas to try! Great video!!
Thanks for watching. The jack idea is great and I will try it next time. As much as I watched the video during editing I never noticed the bouncing till you pointed it out. I will take the handle orentation and other suggestions on board. It gets easier everytime I use it. 🙂
Thanks Tony. Spraying some lube on the rubber parts of that air tube did the trick! My wife thinks we're related after she heard your commentary! 😂 Hope the RM Stator coils last longer than the OEM
You are welcome. Glad the video helped. As for your wife opinion, Great Minds Think Alike!🙂. Thanks for watching.
Notice "no mar" has comments turned off for their videos, they don't want the truth out about how bad this is for most tires. It might be OK for track days but not for most touring bikes.
This is the 1st changer like this I have owned. It has worked well for me and I get better everytime I use it. There are many different systems on the market I could have chosen. I like this one and am satisfied with the $$$ I spent. I am on my 7th change and in my opinion it has paid for itself. I even look forward to the next use. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great Great Great !!!
Thanks Thanks Thanks !!!
