Excellent videos and F800GS mechanics classes, I keep watching them now in 2022, and thanks to them my 2016 F800GS remains in good condition, thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge,
Thank you Jorge! I'm very pleased to hear the videos are still useful after all these years. It's also comforting to know your bike is in good condition. Keep ridin'! 😎👍🏻
Dear Jocke, thank you for all the movies of repairing the great f800 gs. The movies are perfect! You helped me so much. Greatings from Recklinghausen/Germany. Chris
Muchas gracias Jocke , a very useful vid , my rear wheel is on the table to install it a new sprocket bearing and the sprocket in it self(sorry for my english)
I am very pleased that you found the video useful, and thank you for your kind words. I hope you have managed to install the new bearing and sprocket and you find some of the other videos useful too :)
You're welcome! Any tool that works is a good tool. I have many size brushes ranging from toilet brush (bought brand new for the garage, not used!) to tooth brush. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. One question though, I've seen guys put a thin layer of grease around the bearing casing to making it easier to fit into the hub. I see you used a heat gun instead to expand the metal. Is using the grease option a good idea or not?
Thanks! I don't think a bit of grease is a bad thing. The bearing is a very snug fit, and I don't think the grease would cause the outer bearing shell to rotate, in fact, I use grease on the axles so they come out easily.
I did a bearing replacement today for a KTM that desperately needed it. I put the bearings in a freezer overnight and heat the housing to ensure an easier time fitting. Just make sure to put the bearings in a zip lock bag to keep moisture from getting to them.
Hi! I think it was 57,000 miles - please check the first video in the series. I don’t know if it was the original bearing or if it had been changed before. This bike was a very early F800GS, so I think it was a 2008...? Again, the first video might have the details. It’s been a while since I worked on that bike. My bike is a late 2009, Crazy Caz’s bike is an early 2009. Thanks for watchin’! 😎👍🏻
No, all bearings I've opened have had some grease in them. Some have had very little, and some of the grease have been of questionable quality. However, I'm no expert so do your own research. Also, don't pack the grease too tight, it needs space to expand when the bearing gets hot.
If you remove your wheels every year and check the bearings, seals and bushes I think you should be OK. If you are in very dusty conditions along with water, mud, etc, then more often. If you're in good conditions; tarmac, garaged bike, only dry rides, etc, then it could even work as seldom as when you change the tyres. If you change to the stainless steel spacers, then I think you don't need to worry very much at all.
Olá! Se você estiver solicitando valores de torque e outras especificações, poderá encontrá-los em um manual de oficina. Os valores podem diferir de bicicleta para bicicleta, portanto, não quero que você use as configurações incorretas e quebre sua motocicleta. Obrigado por assistir!
Great Videos, they are really helpful. Thanks a lot for that!After how many km´s do you recommend to make this Service? Or there are any signs that shows that you when to do it?
Thank you! Glad they've been useful. I'd check the wheel bearings quite often, as they don't tend to last very long. It shouldn't take you very long to take the wheels off and check the bearings, seals and the condition of the spacers. I recommend getting the Stainless Steel spacers by the way. They won't wear down like the Aluminium ones BMW fit. scheffelmeier-metall.de/BMW-F800GS-F700GS-F650-twin/Stainless-steel-wheel-spacer-for-all-BMW-F800GS-models-with-ABS::25.html (no affiliation)
With the F800GS, there are two different sized sprocket nuts depending on the year model that you have. I don't want to provide incorrect information , so the best advice I can give is to take a look in the workshop manual amzn.to/2HIuRNZ (affiliate link)

Thank you, and thanks for watching! 😊👍🏻
thanks for video! use malar flat brash 70-100mm instead tooth brush, more helpfull

Pas de quoi!
How many miles did that have on rear bearing? What year is your GS steed?

Have you ever found a sealed bearing not to have grease in it?
No, all bearings I've opened have had some grease in them. Some have had very little, and some of the grease have been of questionable quality. However, I'm no expert so do your own research. Also, don't pack the grease too tight, it needs space to expand when the bearing gets hot.
After how many miles do you recommend this service? I mostly drive on pavement with a few miles on gravel and forest roads

Qual a folga da pastilha dimicao e escape da f800 gs? Desde já agradeço muito.

@@JockeSelin thanks for the video, and this link. My spacers look terrible after 30000km.
@@oleandreasbrkke5223 You're most welcome! I think the stainless steel spacers are the must-have-modification for the F800GS.
How much torque for the sprocket bolts?
