@@ductdrbob no problem at all, hope it helps! Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated 👍🏻

I am experiencing “bad gas syndrome”…. I ride this bike November-March in Arizona USA. I store it off season in a shelter. No air conditioning in the shed so the bike bakes in temps upwards of 113 F. I know how to cope with the effects of cold as I live in Minnesota where we go to -35 F. I removed as much as gas as I could siphon and put in a full tank of premium. I drained one fuel line by removing the ejector and letting the gas free flow. I’m hoping one cylinder firing will get the rest of the bad gas out of the second line. ( I really don’t want to remove the other Tupperware). I’m hoping this works. Is there any fuel stabilizer that works well in hot climates? Thanks again for the video.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it! That’s a good observation, I’m really happy the bike came with the screen and am really happy with the adjustability of it and the wind protection it offers. It’s such a great bike and the screen definitely helps makes it more of an enjoyment to ride.

I’m not sure if it’s distilled or not but it’s the Motorex M3.0 coolant that was recommended in the user manual. The coolant has a slight pink tint to it.

@@philippekervynfaucon9849 thanks for watching and for your kind words!! This GS shows me that we don’t need the latest and greatest to enjoy the ride. It’s full of character and I love it. I hope to do more with it in 2025 ✊🏻

@@MALVSMACHINE i had one and miss every minute of it...i used to live in Brazil so you can imagine the memories...I just sold a K1200S to get back to a boxer , a R1150R rockster...best decision i've made...this engine is so sweet. Thanks for the reply..and as we say in Brazil "Tudo de bom!"

@ I can imagine Brazil was a fantastic place to ride one of these around on, it’s somewhere I’d like to visit in the future 👌🏻. That’s a great decision, the rockster looks a great bike and I wish you many happy miles on it ✊🏻. No problem at all, engaging with people all over the world is my favourite part of RUclips; chatting with people who share a passion for motorcycles all over the globe is so much fun and I get to learn new things such as what “tudo do bom” means. In Wales we would say “i gyd yn dda”

It’s all good mate, I’m always happy to try and answer questions 👍🏻. The one in this video is just a hardened version of the normal lever (AS3 Brand), I replaced it because I injured my hand and needed to use all my fingers to pull in the lever, so I changed over from the easy lever as it was a bit short.

I’m glad you got it fixed easily, many more happy miles ahead on the beast ✊🏻

I didn’t say anywhere that this is the GSA model, and there’s a bit more to the GSA than different coloured forks and rocker cover.

Thankfully it took a few years for mine to wear but thats not a good sign if it’s happened on yours in a few months! Hopefully warrantee will cover you off and it won’t happen again for a long time.

@@MALVSMACHINE mine got dirt and dust past the brass cap of the slave cylinder 1 ride after cleaning and fixing it. I tore it apart again and cleaned it but this time i put teflon tape on the threads for the brass cap. Hopefully this keeps the dirt out.

@@608Jaystone1982 ah man that’s a shame! Hopefully your tape idea will work and get you out there having fun again without issue ✊🏻

Hello @@rosarioroberto5823 hope you are well! Thanks for watching and for your kind words 🙏🏻. So, crash bars are adventurespec bars: www.adventurespec.com Headlight protector and Nylon screws were from Rally Raid: www.rallyraidproducts.co.uk I’m currently working away at the moment but will be back home mid November and have a weekend trip planned with a few friends so I hope to get something recorded on the T7 and uploaded soon after ✊🏻.

@@christoforospilitsis541 I bought a Tenere so that this old girl can have an easy life on the road 😄

@@francisfelix4939 that’s great, I’m glad it helped! Now you can enjoy testing and adjusting to get the right feel for you 👌🏻

I was pleased with how easy it was, and she starts really well now so I wish I’d definitely changed it when I thought about it as it would have eliminated that little bit of stress on the long trip, but was trying not to spend money where I didn’t need to and it was doing a good job…. Up until it wasn’t 😆. Hopefully it’ll be good for many more miles now and I can make it look a bit better cosmetically as the frame has a little bit of rust to deal with. Was fun bump staring it, we were like a welsh bobsleigh team 😆

It sure is, the plate is nice and thick so will last for a while, I like the setup as well 👌🏻

@@danielburema3087 Thank you too🙏🏻

Not on this occasion, have had many a fall there in the past though 😄

@@siji117 thanks man, I really enjoy riding it. The seat has been pretty comfortable for now but I haven’t done any really long journeys on it yet, I tend to use my old BMW GS for the longer stuff as it’s really comfortable 😄.

@@argentum_on_glass hello! unfortunately I think that even though it probably could be fitted to the plate, with the overland being 8” compared to the base edition’s 8”, there’s a possibility that the hand guards could strike the unit at lock, especially if you have aftermarket hand guards like BarkBusters. Im currently working away and am not home for another 6 weeks so can’t get you any measurements at this time sorry.

@@MALVSMACHINE if you remember after your time off maybe you can just comment our conversation so i can see it :) that would be great... I also think to set the whole couple a bit higher on the plate but i think the down parts of the two units will still be in the range of the hand guards.

@@argentum_on_glass no problem at all 😁👍🏻. I’ll see if I can make a video to show the dimensions of everything, and show the clearance from the bars.

@@MALVSMACHINE That would be greatly appreciated!

@@morenachoz Hi Rui, I think it’s awesome that you’re getting a GS and I hope you enjoy working on it and riding it as much as I enjoy mine. I certainly will be bringing more videos and just want to say a big thanks for watching and sending your comment, it’s really appreciated. Please let me know when you get your bike, it will be great to know how you enjoy it. I’m currently working away from home so will commence the riding and filming again when I return in November - I’m really looking forward to it! You’re going to enjoy Ferdia’s videos, he’s a great story teller and his videos just get better and better. Big hug back my friend and have a safe ride too ✊🏻

Thank you Ross, you are too kind 🙏🏻

@@Bob-huisbaas hi Bob, I hope you’re well! Yeah, it’s a funny one…. I really enjoy the T7 but I keep getting drawn back to the GS for the comfort and seating position. I like the fact I could stretch my legs over the boxer heads on the days when we were getting the miles in 😆. The Metzeler tourance tyres done well in the dry dirt and loose gravel but the moment they touched anything that was slightly muddy they lost traction, so I’d say you’ll be safe as long as it’s dry. I Definitely recommend it, just take it slow and ride with someone as it’s a heavy bike to try and get off your leg if you have a bit of a mishap 👍🏻. Let me know how it goes 👌🏻

@@johnmignano7872 hi John, thanks for watching! I believe the beak is to feed air to the oil cooler that sits under the lights. I have seen one bike that has the beak removed but that was on an Instagram post, and it didn’t make the bike look any better 😄.

​@@MALVSMACHINE 😅😂🤣thank you for valued feedback, enjoy and have fun

@@johnmignano7872 😂 no problem at all, I’m always happy to try and help where I can. Thank you, You too mate 😁👍🏻

Hi Billy, no problem at all, I’m glad it helped 👌🏻. Happy riding ✊🏻

@@MALVSMACHINE if the front feels very soft and with a slight movement of the handlebars the whole bike shakes, would I go stiffer?

Hi Billy. I haven’t really experienced what you’re feeling there but it does sound like the suspension is too soft and you could be going through the travel quite quickly - the rebound may be a bit too slow as well? It would probably be best to reset back to the standard setting and then work from there, to find what feels better for wherever you’re riding.

I use the website motorworks.co.uk as they have a really good selection of BMW parts, new and used 👍🏻

@@MALVSMACHINE Have you heard of euromoto electrics? for shipping in Canada? BTW thanks for the video. very instructional as i am in the process of fixing a 2001 1150R. Al most as old as me.....

Do you show what the procedure is for tightening or losening the rocker arm. I have a knocking sound on th RHS cylinder and i read it amy be cause by too loose rocker arm....??How do I tighten them??

@@InterimExec I haven’t heard of them, I haven’t really looked much further than Motorworks really as they had what I needed and delivered pretty quickly👍🏻. No problem at all, I hope it helps and I hope you’re having as much fun with the 1150R as I had with the GS 😄

@@InterimExec I done a pushrod change and then had to refit and tighten the rocker arms…. I think I covered it over two videos which I labelled episode 3 and 4 on the thumbnail. I seem to remember fitting everything in episode 3 and then having to wait for the torque angle gauge to be delivered before I could check the clearances and complete the torque settings on the bolts in episode 4. I’d like to think the process is the same as the 1150R but I’d say it’s worth checking the manual just to make sure 👍🏻.

It was fun 😆🤘🏻

Yeah, I was going to pack it in around 700 subs but it kept growing steadily so I decided to keep at it as I quite enjoy it. Will be learning and doing more with it next year so am investing in some good gear, and will learn how to use it and fit it all together…. And will buy a nice old project to tinker with, bring some variety and all that.
