Mine has a panel in front of the tank that you have to remove before you can slide the tank out, you never showed that part ? or has yours not got one ?

Do you still have your PD?

Job done but what a shitfight with the bob springs. I had multiple attempts but got there in the end. Thanks very useful Vid.

Biggest problem with bike driveshafts is the lack of lube on the sliding shaft when the splines disappear giving no drive. BMW are very bad for no grease.

I have a problem of the gen light on all the time and not charging battery. light off when ignition off. rotor has continuity with brushes not touching and the correct ohms reading. I have revved to over 3000rpm and light still on and no charge. 1981 r100rs Any suggestions ?

Why is the starter motor bendix slippery? I have 4 of each times doing that.😊

Thanks for the video. I have a doubt: Is the gas tank the same as the R80RT/R100RT with the rubber pads in each sides? I would like to change my R80RT to that's Bad Bob one's. Do you have FB account? Would like to follow you, please.

Hi Moto Phoenix; I have recently purchased a Quota 1100 ES, and if you have other videos on doing maintenance on the Quota, it would be helpful to me. Here in the USA, dealerships do not work on motorcycles which are +10 years old. My Quota is from 2000. I have the Owner's manual but it is always nice when someone with mechanical aptitude and a good setup demonstrates how to do it.

Bardzo źle to wygląda, okropne !!

Hi, my friend. Wich model and year is this particular bike on the video, please? Thanks in advance. Beautiful bike.

Great improvements, great tips, amazing amount of miles you drove on the PD. !

So long

With these is the original screw pin becoming the inner race? If the answer is YES then it is not going to hold up.

What is the true mileage on your bmw

BMW electrical systems are the worst . It would be great if you told us the trick on making a puller bold out of a section of 6 mm metal . I'd do it but I forgot the proper length of metal .

Nice work. Need to fix the stripped threads on my final drive too. Previous owner apparently liked high torque. What are the dimensions on the time sert you use. Outside is M15 and 1,75mm threads?Inside is M12 and 1,5 mm threads to fit original size plug. But how long/deep is the time sert? I measure it should be around 9mm to leave room for the seal ring, or am I wrong? Thanks for sharing the video.

great vid!!!

did you say 400000?!

مشكل في شحن البطري

سلام

Very nicely done mods.

Fabulous to hear from such an enthusiast owner. On my 80gs paralevel in 2000 I put the Winderlich lower footrests which vastly improved my comfort

thanks, makes me feel more confident about tearing into my US version left controller on my 78 R80/7. My low beam stopped working, but the light and relay are good. I;m hoping a proper cleaning well get it sorted.

Thanks a lot my friend, from Mallorca all the best to you.

try and sound enthusiastic mate

There's a sharp bend of the coil where it connects to the slip ring. There was a remanufacturing supplier who rewinds them taking out the bend making the rotor more reliable

Does anyone know how I can get the Nippon starter? The Valero -Everlast (ironically named) starter failed during a tour 😤 it's not easy for this 63 year old woman to push start my fully loaded RT in 90°f heat with 90%humidity

4 years later and I'm here again...Sorry to be a pain again...R100GS (1990)...Haven't run the bike since last year and bought a new battery yesterday...Issues with the charging again...Battery light stays on (but dim) during running...I checked the battery posts while the bike was running but the voltage does not go up...I checked the rotor and that was new 4 years ago and is ok using your test...The actual alternator came off with a little persuasion but I noticed that the wiring mesh on the back is slightly loose although not too bad and not unconnected...I did run the multimeter on the 0-200K (same as for the rotor) and used it to see if the wiring on the actual alternator was ok and I got a reading from the red and blue but not the white one...One thing I did notice is that my wiring on the rotor is different from the one in the video - the red and blue wires are the other way around on mine...I'm hoping I didn't get them mixed up when I did this 4 years ago (I dont think so) ...Anyway...Any ideas...Thank you for any help

Did you take into account the extra depth of the intermediate shaft bearing boss on the end cover due to the baffle plate?

Great explanation, thanks

Might have been an idea to close the workshop doors so you can be heard!

Do you have to take the exhaust pipe off to remove the oil cooler hoses?

Great video. Although I am an electrician and mechanic I found the explanations, in lay-person terms, to be most helpful for those weekend and not so experienced troubleshooters. Excellent job. My son and I, who have worked on hundreds of motorcycles, are going to be troubleshooting the charging system on a recently gifted R65 this morning so this crash course will come in handy even for us.

Torque specs back together, castle tread nut 118nm. Pinion nut 200nm!🙂

Dear moto phoenix! I have a question. I have an r80gs 1990. When my rear output shaft bearing had to be changed, i realized that it was just one side closed (gear side open). Is this originaly possible? I assembled the same way, but im not sure it is good.

Great to see routes I know - I often ride the same roads on my GSPD too! Didn’t realise there was another GSPD in the area close to me (I’m in Witham).

Thanks for a helpful video. The screw used for pulling out the rotar is there a name for it?

Hi there - you put a note on my crash helmet at the Ace Cafe at the weekend but think you've got me confused with someone else! I was sat in front of your lovely Trident. Anyways I thought I'd say hi, hope you like my bike - I've just rebuilt bottom end and paid for the crank to be dynamically balanced. Very happy with the results. Hope to see you again and keep up the good work with your videos

Good video lovely bike 👍

Thanks

That pawl spring has just failed on mine what a job to just get at it good video 👍

hi guys

TY so much for this!!!

I look fwd to the next step .. can you get the guitar out and rip a few cords between stages…😏

Hi, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am looking out for a r100 GS in the UK after getting fed up with modern bike electronics. Can I ask what sort of money would be a fair price for one and how do you tell a peach from a lemon? Any help with my search would be appreciated. Thank you again for sharing with bmw air head novices like myself.😊

Great sound! It really conveys the sound of your GS. Very cool. ;-)

I must apologise as I could not have been more wrong about the missing bits. They are of course inside the stanchion! My bike has 2 right hand stanchions and the preload spacers have been cut to about 3cm to make them fit. Its a long story but it turns out that the springs are 550 mm long and they should be 450 mm long which is causing most of my problems. I have also bought the correct left hand damper rod so feel like I am beginning to make some progress. thanks for your prompt reply to my last comment. John

Very interesting video. Where did that caliper come from? I bet it must be amazing compaired with the original! The pipes are different on each fork leg, one being for damping and the other bring for rebound. There are some parts shown on the real oem parts page that are missing form your bike. I have watched a couple of other videos and they do not have these parts also. I was wondering if you could explain this as I am a bit confused. I am in the process of sorting out my front forks on my R80 GS from 1992 and my bike does not have these parts either. Any help or explaination would be graratefully appretiated.

Good job! Thanks for sharing!!! GUZZISTI NOMADS approve!!!

Interested in your observations about K&N air filters. They’re always promoted as better than stock. Might have to have a gander inside my R75/5 airbox now as I haven’t been in there for a couple of years. There’s a K&N in there
