REMOVING A STRIPPED OIL PLUG
After my warranty expired, I attempted to change the oil on my "BMW F850GS" only to find the drain plug to the dry sump was rounded out. I try various methods to remove the plug.

Main dealer (Dick Lovetts in Bristol England) did the 6000 mile service 18 months ago, and when I confronted them over it the W***ers acted so smug and were in denial about it. I will never ever let those cowboys touch my bike again. Once again TOP MAN for shairing this and oil change done.

    That caterpillar rock truck was hauling rock, they strip the rock off the top of the coal, and haul it and dump it over a spoil bank, then a smaller loader, cleans the dust and debris off the coal, bust it up, and directly loads the coal onto the tandem or semi coal trucks. They never haul coal in those big trucks. And dump over a hill anywhere lol

    Dude, I can't tell you how happy I was to pick up the tip on using a ratchet strap for lifting the wheel into place! Like all the best "simple ideas" it was a stroke of genius and a complete game-changer for me. Only this morning I had invented a whole new vocabulary of curses directed at BMW, before I saw this video, and after that tip it became so easy. Thank you 👏👏 Also hooking the chain over the swing arm wasn't something I was doing either - so that too was a great tip I picked up from your video 🙂

    Hello, I am using Vespa gts. I want to buy this boat. Because it will protect my shins in case of an accident. Did I get right? In which season can I wear it? I do not use a scooter in rain and snowy weather. In rainless, hot or cold weather. But I use it especially between May and September. In my country, the temperature between May and September is between 25 and 40 degrees. Do you think summer heat will be a problem with this boot? Is it a problem to have it on my feet in winter or cold months? Will it be a problem for the scooter? What is the difference between suede and leather models? Is the leather model safer and warmer? Thanks

    I recently put a set of the Motoz Tractionator GPS on my 24 Honda Transalp. Must say they are an excellent tire both off road and on road. However, they are so hard the bike was no longer smooth on the road. Since I felt every bump in the road, especially in the rear, I have replaced the rear tire with softer Dunlop Trailmax Mission Raid

  • @ericevans4399
    @ericevans4399 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Been mounting by hand for 30 years so I feel your pain. Use plastic knee pads and that will help you hold the bead closest to you in the rim valley. Your knees will thank you and you will be able to put much more force on the tire without hurting yourself. Use WD40 liberally on the bead before breaking them loose. Will help the bead break and the old tire will slip right off. Obviously don't do this if you plan on remounting the same tire or using the tire on another bike. For mounting use straight liquid dawn dishwash soap and apply it by hand liberally on both beads before mounting. Never muscle the tire on with the rotor side down, they will bend... especially the front wheel with dual rotors. I usually take the rotors off to avoid warping them. Finish the job by using a static wheel balancer so you aren't pulling them back off due to a wobble.

    I have a question concerning the windscreen. I have it on a 2023 BMW F750 GS. I am 5‘7“ tall, have a 30" inseam, weigh 184 pounds, always wear custom ear plugs, I have been riding for 65 years, ridden to and in 49 states so I am not a novice rider. I wear a Shoei Neotec helmet ... I get a constant very loud wind blast on both sides of my helmet. Also, a strong wind blast on my arms and shoulders. My primary concern is the strong loud wind on the sides of my helmet, which makes the ride unenjoyable.... I have tried different heights and angles....For me, the 58 degree setting is the best, however regardless of the height, from all the way down to all the way up, I get no buffeting on my helmet, however, the loud wind noise and wind blast on both side of my helmet, arms and shoulders continues. It seems if the windscreen was wider my problems would be cured. I do have the side wind deflectors installed. Is there anything you can recommend to eliminate this. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
