How to mix pineapple sweet tea.
มุมมอง 152ปีที่แล้ว
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.

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.

As you can see from the video, the battery will run for more than 30 minutes under moderately heavy use. It will cut any branch that will fit in the jaws. About the size of your small finger.

Thanks for commenting watching and subscribing.
Oh yes, one more question: Since these Coils are Expensive and so are the spark plugs. Is there a way to repair the Coil? And are the cheap coils from China any good ?? Thank you.
I am not sure but I think the radiator would not need to be touched to get access to #6. It is on the cam chain side of the engine and there may be enough room to access it without messing with the cooling system. I have no experience with Chinese made coils, only the RM STATOR brand. Mine are still working with no issues. Dont believe it would be practical to attempt repair of a bad coil since the units are sealed. If you do drain the cooling system, there are many videos on the proper way to fill and drain. My method was incorrect and complex. Get the cap off and fill the system through there. Also air bleeding will be required, see other videos. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Tony. So I ran into some of the same issues you had. The Radiator cap is hard to remove, I got it off the first time but 2nd time I tried it will not come off. I need to replace #6 Coil. I think that overhead plastic pipe does not need to be removed as I don't think it covers the #6 Coil, correct ?? Also, do you think #6 is accessible WITHOUT removing the Radiator?? Finally, if I remove and drain the Radiator, what is the best way to refill it? Is through the Metal Cap ?? Thank you.
You made it look so easy thank you
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
DO NOT perform that vacuum procedure.😬 Fill only at reservoir while the bile is running and sucking in coolant 🙄
You're a wizard, Tony!
Tell me that when I figure out a permanent fix. It is still broken and I haven't went in to diagnose it yet. Thanks for the compliment anyway.
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 TH-cam 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Found it, Radiator cap removal th-cam.com/video/lOGCoZscq44/w-d-xo.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.
