I like that you show a current update on changing the fluids in your beamer. Your construction of an ancient Roman aquaeduct saves us from over-oiling the main stand 😉 Thank you sir for that idea👍
Hi Old Mecanic! With your vídeos I do my maintenance at home. I give you a suggestion: a video showing us how to spect and lubrific the cardan onde R1200GS air cooled easily.
Hi 'Old Mechanic', Fantastic videos for an amateur DIY guy like me and my 2009 GS 1200. Quick question, I need to replace my very old GS battery and I have recently added some extra lights to the 1200 (Front LED lights plus Auxiliary LED Lights). I think I need a higher CCA battery than the existing 200 CCA battery. Can you recommend a good option ? Also have you any preference for a Lead, AGM or Lithium battery for a 2009 GS 1200 ? Many thanks, Patrick.
Ik heb de fout gemaakt 2 jaar geleden, deed eerst de afvoerplug, en daarna ging de vulplug niet los. Door warm stoken en linkse tap heb ik uit eindelijk de plug los gekregen. Normaal deed ik altijd de goede volgorde, en juist deze keer gebeurde het.
Bij mij kwam de vulplug helemaal niet los. Ik heb de versnellingsbak morten wisselen. Bmw zou kunststof vulpluggen moeten gebruiken. Die vreten niet vast.

You can, in a fix, re-use copper washers if they have been used once. Not more. But! You have to warm the old washer to red hot (even a cigarette lighter can do this if you have nothing else), then immediately dip the washer in a cup of water and the copper will be nice and soft again. But as I said, only once as the washer will stretch beyond the sealing surface after that. Now I would like to see you do a video on repairing that idiotic ABS pump motor! I've done it once, 2 years ago, but the other day the ABS light came on twice. So, this winter the pump.will come out again, and I will see if I can put slightly stronger springs on the brushes to make sure they touch the commutator a bit more firmly. Or if you know how to bypass the light? I just want the light not to come in for the bi-annual road worthy test. I don't really care for ABS. I come from an era where no bikes had ABS...

Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪. Your videos are just what I need, clear, to the point and no bullshit! Well done and keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍🏻👊🏻😉
Excellent as always. Great video.

Always make sure the engine and gearbox are at operating temperature when draining oils! This makes the oil drain easy and thorough.
Cold oil will dripp out eventually, but it needs time 👍🏻👊🏻😉
Loosen the filler plug first. I'd never thought! That's wisdom for you 👍

Як завжди - все добре👍
Een clean bakje 😃. Ik heb voor jou wel mooie bakjes liggen , voor schroeven olie of andere truupkes met verschillende hoogtes.
What were the exact measurements of the filler and drainplug?
I also always thought it was strange for the fill plug on the side to have the magnet. Clearly it works though.

Dat is dan extra zuur he, juist die ene keer...

Hi
Do you use the same oil for the gearbox and rear axle?
Regards
Yep 👍🏻👊🏻😉
