Nice capture my friend, great flight and music, well edited! Liked and subscribed to you 👍

Where can I find true metric feeler gauge set?

I bought a jump starter after this problem occurred. I never travel without it.

Where did you get the BMW Tools?

Amazing feats of engineering by our Victorian forebears - !

I used to go out and work on Horse sands fort when I worked for the M.O.D. It had 1 to 2 inches of seagull / pigeon mess all over it. Some great views both day and night. If the weather blew up we would have to jump into a M.O.D. police rubber boat as our boat could not come along side the landing.

Interesting. I had never heard of The Solent forts.

Grande wey

Veramente molto ben tenuta. Ne ho avuta una anche io, del 1996 color verde, per 90.000 km. Motore bello esuberante.😊

Great video Carlos

Wow, that music really sets it off, new sub 😊

Decompressor stuck! Do BG hot oil flush and use only 5w40 Jaso Ma oil like Motorex/Motul/liqui moly ester full synth with oil filter that has non return regulating valve. ALWAYS RUN ALL VALVES AS LOOSE AS YOU CAN!!! If tolerances are at minimum , when hot cams are going to wipe oil film , causing cam lobes to wear out!!! These engines when valves are adjusted 0.25mm intake and 0.40mm exhaust they go for 300.000-400.000km easy

Beautifully captured 👌 lovely flight

Oh wow another place I've flown great video 👍👍👍

Great footage new subscriber here look forward to seeing more of your content 🙂

Hello CLLUK, I'm searching for clarification on aligning the reluctor to the sensor. Is it just aligned to the center of the end of the sensor? I can't see a corresponding alignment mark on the sensor. 2023 R1250RT. Derrick

I just sold my 96 1100R . My Age got me before she did! Loved every minute with that bike. It was as important as a family member to me with the experiences I had with her for 28 years. Thanks for sharing.

Odd dash board on these earlier models imo.

Beautiful discovery like 1, thank you for the sharing

Great drone filming. Incredible place, will have to visit it. Thanks for upload.

So clean!

best video on this job

brilliant video

For an absolutely correct reply, I would show this to a professional motorrad mechanic. I think it was broken.

This is broken!?

Very good. It help me a lot. Thanks.

STARTING PROBLEM - SOLVED I own a 2019 R1250 GS Adventure which I bought new and I live in Victoria, Australia. I will keep this as short as possible and try and avoid going into any details that readers and fellow owners already know. I have experienced all the starting problems that have been documented by riders around the world for four years. The sudden and unexplained no-start events, the myriad of TFT screen fault messages etc. I do not know if this problem applies to every MY but it certainly applies to MY19, MY20 and MY21 as I have read user complaints online. I have used a total of four AGM batteries in four years, Exide (which caused problems in the first 3 weeks of bike delivery), Deka, Yuasa and SSB, all have been either 200 CCA or 240 CCA batteries. Batteries have always been fully charged and able to pass a load test when the bike failed to start and have been connected to an appropriate charger when the bike has not been in use. So battery problems are not confined to a specific batch of Exide batteries that were factory fitted by BMW when the bike was new. My son has an R1200 GS Adventure, he has used the same AGM batteries, and he has had zero starting problems over the four years that I have owned my bike. Regardless of the healthy status of all four AGM batteries the starting problems have always suggested that a battery power problem existed. Any mature vehicle system does not require changes to valve clearances, or require pushing whilst in gear, or any other unusual or creative change to get the vehicle to start. Does anyone have to do that with their car? Standard comments from BMW dealers have included ‘cannot replicate the fault’ and ‘they all do that’ along with others. Is BMW Motorrad really happy with that state of affairs? It has appeared so. I purchased a GOOLOO GP2000 lithium jump starter, it is small, light, and quick and easy to use. I carry it in my top box and it started the bike every time I needed it to. The bike started instantly and essentially proves that the complete starting circuit is serviceable provided that sufficient cranking power is available. BMW obviously made significant changes (mechanical & electrical) from the R1200 GS Adventure to the R1250 GS Adventure. When making those configuration changes did they carry out a detailed Power Management study under all user operating conditions, in all environments that users operate these bikes in, and over a reasonable period of time to ensure that the starting circuit for instance, from the battery right through to the starter motor and everything in-between, were compatible and actually worked? Only BMW know the answer to that question. I used the GOOLOO GP2000 for many months on many occasions to prove to myself that the starting circuit is serviceable enough to be operated as designed, and as delivered on the bike when it was new. Once I was convinced that the problem was the power source then I researched a safe and more capable alternative. You can research the various chemistries of Lithium batteries yourselves if you wish, I selected Lithium (Li) Iron (Fe) Phosphate (PO4) which is LiFePO4, it’s the safest battery chemistry and fit for purpose. I purchased a SSB Powersport Lithium Ultralite, LiFePO4, LFP14H-BS, 150mm X 87mm x 93mm. The battery came complete with screw on plastic spacers to raise the battery height to suit the motorcycle battery compartment. The bike now enthusiastically starts first time every time, under all conditions and as it should have done when I purchased it in the first place. I finally have the bike that I thought I purchased four years ago. Ignition has improved and all lights and displays have improved. If this problem went away at some production point then what was changed during production and why don’t all users know about it? Prior to starting the bike the ‘My Vehicle’ screen on the TFT display always shows a battery voltage approaching, or at, 13 volts I have an Ozcharge OC-PRO80L 12 volt 480ma LiFePO4 battery charger which I have not used again since I charged the battery when it was new straight out of the box. As soon as the charger tells you that the battery is fully charged then disconnect the charger. I have a charging pigtail lead fitted to the bike and I check the battery voltage with a meter via this lead before using the bike. The battery voltage is now always between 13.27 volts and 13.30 volts. The most the voltage ever drops in a week or more is 0.01 volts (1/100th of a volt) which is probably due to the bike internal clock and maybe a standby function of the keyless start module. The bike charging system is capable of keeping the battery charged and I will only use the battery charger/maintainer if the battery voltage ever drops below 13 volts which it hasn’t done and so far doesn’t look like it will. You do NOT, and SHOULD NOT, keep the appropriate battery charger/maintainer connected to your bike when the bike is not in use. Do I leave the GOOLOO GP2000 at home? No I don’t as I may meet a fellow R1250 GSA rider one day who is stuck at the side of the road/trail or next to a fuel pump in a service station because his bike will not start.

Hi there, Why do you use a special cam tensioner, is the one from the bike not sufficient to do the procedure ? What is the main difference ?

its says not suitable for a wet clutch though

How did you disconnect wire from exup vave pulley.. can't work out how it comes off. Two little pins lock it on pulley..

I will have a go at making my own adjustment tool when I get around to doing mine 👍 great video.

Buonasera posseggo un r 1100 r anno 1999 purtroppo senza paramani, vorrei acquistarli mi sapete dire come fare grazie

I disagree with your closing statement, this is a perfect instructional video! Clearly and concisely narrated at a decent volume with all necessary information and guidance, high resolution, well lit and well shot footage and no ridiculous music making it impossible to hear the voiceover - it's perfect, thanks so much for putting up a great quality "how to video" :)

Thank you for the movie, the procedure was nicely and succinctly presented. I don't entirely understand the purpose of this tool "Cam Alignment Jig" - is it used to set the cams before checking valve clearances, or is it for setting during basket assembly? Or other purpose? Thanks in advance for clarifying.

Same here, Portugal. 2019 r1250gsa HP. I was going to swap the battery (original) but appears to be ok, it has 12.9v after days of riding the bike. :( 10 years with honda, original battery, no problems...

How did it go then ? This is a big issue. I think it would be great to hear how you got on. Very much appreciated.

Great instructions for the clearance check, thank You! But the adjustment needed : 1: Timing Chain Tensioner Assembly - BMW part # 83300444292; (tension for chain like in working mode) 2: Cam Alignment Jig - BMW part # 83302467268 (OK, you marked the gears, but the shaft alignment is also adjustable - right side 65 Nm ) I wonder how can you fix the decompressor! btw. I have the same starting issues. 2021-1250GS 27000km for a few months My bike has warranty, but I read everywhere dealers can't solve this problem.

What's the mark on the rear fender? I'm looking for r850r and I can't find what fits in there

Update: 24/01/2024. Since resetting the Exhaust Valves, the starting is still not completely normal. Sometimes it starts okay, sometimes not. So, I decided to open up again and look at the Auto Decompressions Mechanisms which are positioned next to the Exhaust Valve (Front) on both cylinders. (I should of done this the first time!) The Auto Decompression Mechanism only operates on the Front Exhaust Valve. Comparing both sides, it was clear that the RHS was OK and the LHS defective. This just flops around and doesn't return to the 'Start' position (ie, with the rounded profile protruding slightly above the cam lobe surface. So, this is indeed Good News and makes sense why sometimes starting is OK and others not so. I now need to look into a change out. I will upload a video on what I found later today or tomorrow.

Can you check the other clearances with the shims removed

She is a testament to your ownership a nd has only covered 4000 miles since you sold her respect stev6

I have this bike now she's still in great condition

Just bought one myself!

were the old ones worn already?

Siempre grande mi primo motero

Hi, did you put the Wynns product in and leave the bike running on tick over, or did you take it for a ride, is it necessary to change the oil immediately after adding the Wynns or can you leave it in?, cheers Mark

almost bought one, but the unit i checked dont have abs

Quelle superbe moto 😍✌️👍
