    That's a really nice 850, and kudos on your calmness. I have a '94 R1100RS and an '06 RT, and I also use that Mobil 1 15W-50; it seems just right for these oilheads.

      I use Bellray mineral oil 10w-40. Climate in Europe.

    So what is the Harbor Freight puller part number?

    You mention that you ended up draining the oil......first job really, otherwise the oil will piss out down to the level of the bottom of the window and then you can't clean the recess up to prepare the new part.

    Seems like it might be easier to clean your plastic glass with toothpaste. Any thoughts?

      The problem was the ring was leaking, not the glass surface itself.

    Рука-лицо. Чувак, ты бы еще монтировкой выковыривал это окошко. Хорошо картер не сильно покоцал. А про частицы которые попали туда при демонтаже старого окошка я вообще молчу

    liked the vid. question: is that oil rated for wet clutch? i have 2002 R1150RT . uh don’t take offense, but u made me cringe when u used that claw hammer get urself a ball pein hammer lol. i learned a lot thru ur vid, thank you.

    • @tejpatel9667

      These oilheads are dry clutch bikes. This specific 15w50 we use on the bike is some of the best oil for it. Consumes little to no oil and the motor stays quiet.

      LOL... claw hammer... yeah, I have a rubber mallet that I probably should have used, but I think I was at a point of frustration after trying to get the old glass out before using the puller, that I was not really thinking straight. Glad you found it helpful, it's rewarding to hear when our efforts help others and just as rewarding when we get comments that teach us something we didn't know. never too old to learn!

      oil was leaking from the old glass seal and was making a mess every time I went out for a ride. It was time to change it.

      But he's doing the job because it is leaking, not because he can't read the level through it....
