    I feel sorry for the bike's owner. He lost a whole riding season because he couldn't get it worked on. Thank God that he contacted you!
    Keep up the excellent LT video guidance & work!

    I overhauled my '99 K1200RS back in 2017 watching your videos. Most recently I had to pull the ABS module and have it rebuilt by Module Masters. That was a chore I wouldn't want to do again. Thanks Kirk

    I picked a bad time to wear earbuds. 🤣 That's why I don't bring my bike to a shop. So many shops just sit on it. It's hard to find reliable mechanics anymore.

    If in this case, you have to clean the fuel tank, how would you clean it thoroughly?

    My fuel pump seems to be making a noise like it straining to pump. Bike runs and drives fine, all I did was change the fuel filter.

    Go to the local airport . Buy AV gas for a mixture of 30 % . Whenever you can . Also ethanol sucks 😢

    I think I’d buy a new pump and harness. Don’t know if you want to go playing with electric wires in the gas tank. Liability issues are my concern.

      I would recheck the direction of the filter to make sure the flow is correct. Also check the quick disconnects to make sure they are plugged in all the way

    I assume you have heard that BMW is no longer selling service manuals for their new models. Looks like they want to put folks like you and me out of the “fix it yourself” business.

    • @Marc-zf3xv
      @Marc-zf3xv 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      All BMW is doing is creating a bigger market for alternatively sourced manuals.
      I'm sure in some corporate decision makers mind they will drive more people to the dealer for service when in fact it'll just do the opposite and drive more anger towards the brand....and yet they still can't figure out how to build a good driveshaft.
      Good move bmw, you never cease to amaze me.

      @@Marc-zf3xv I agree. The mostly likely successor for my 2007 LT was a K1600GA. I will likely trade in 2023. I had planned to trade this year, but the supply chain is still too screwed up and prices too high. I will wait for things to settle. BMW is now off my list and I will likely get a Gold Wing. I like the GA slightly better, although with the new larger top case and the Corbin side case lids, the Wing’s only remaining shortcoming is the too small 5.5 gallon gas tank. So, Honda is also stupid in some ways just as is BMW.

      @@LTVoyager Honda cut too many corners on the new Wing initially only to correct them later, the small fuel tank was one of the worst decisions and not easily corrected by Honda so an aux taildragger tank is the only option.

    If there is one thing i have learnt about BMW bikes its no good cutting corners when it comes to the fuel system cheap fixes are false economy 😢
