NOTES:
-Spark Plug torque is 18 Nm and valve cover bolts are 10 Nm.
- According to TH-camr AdeventureHunter the inner gasket is indeed directional. When I put it together, it seemed pretty obvious as to which way it went, sorry I wasn't more informative on that during the video. and the BMW recommends using gasket adhesive to glue the valve cover gasket to the cylinder head and then put the valve cover on. I found it much easier to put the valve gasket inside the cover and then put the head on.
Quick video to show you the basics of what’s involved with checking valve clearance on this 2009 BMW F800GS. `

Awesome video sir! I was considering doing this myself on my 2017 f700GS, as I do most other maintenance. But now I know this is more than I'm ready to take on. Thanks from Daytona Florida!
Thanks man. And if you give yourself plenty of time, this is not too bad of a job. It will be worth the dollar savings. Well I guess depending on how much money you make per hour LOL. Might be better off just paying somebody sometimes. Good luck in either case and thanks you from Bucks County Pa!
Valve clearance tolerance is suprisingly big. My 1983 honda has intake 0.010 and exhaust 0.014
Nice vid
dielectric grease, the right stuff. nice and tidy one. sub'd
Thanks! I appreciate that
can you make a video on servicing swing arm
Do you knoew the torque value for the cams themselves by any chance?
dayum, that thing has much stuff everywhere to move. nice machine though you can ride that around the world and know its getting there with no issues. hope everything is going well for you been a while since i been on. seems like every time i turn around i have a major job to do on something.......damn MOPAR crap lol
Yeah things are going pretty good. Sounds like you're staying busy which is good!. Hope things are well. And yeah the BMW's are pretty Rock Solid
should have just adjusted the cyl 1 intake while your in there your like .002mm from out of spec, also bmw does a liquid gasket right on the head all the way around then the rubber gasket then the head cover torqued to 10 Nm spark plugs torqued to 18 Nm and that smaller internal gasket is directional.
Good tips. I'm not sure I plan on keeping this bike for very long, so it didn't seem worth it to adjust them since they were already in Spec. Plus I didn't want to have to wait on ordering shims since I was using the bike that weekend. And good point about the liquid gasket. I'll have to look into that. But so far no seepage at all so I think I'll be okay.
Throughout all my years I've never seen a manufacturer put adhesive or silicone on the whole valve cover gasket surface. just on those rubber half moons and around them
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I have BMW manual for this bike, it recommends only using sealant on the half-moons and just a bit beyond.
@@fatpitch3 good to know! Thanks so much for clarifying that! I was pretty sure I did it correct. I've done probably a hundred valve cover gaskets in my life on various vehicles
has anyone ever actually had to adjust the valves?
i own a nuda 900R and basically everybody's saying the 20,000km service to check was a waste of money and never resulted in an actual adjustment.
looking around on F800 forums, the consensus seemed to be the same.
Better safe than sorry Imo
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow that's usually my mentality as well but after hearing literally every owner's input on multiple forums, the numbers just don't add up man.
there are even blokes over 100,000kms who said they religiously checked at every interval and quit checking afterwards.
for somebody like your self who can carry out the works I reckon it's absolutely worth it. by paying up $1200AUD just for a check is pretty up there when the numbers show low risk.
I know this video is old, but where did you get those clearance numbers? Citing the maintenance DVD it's supposed to be Intake 0.23-0.33 Exhaust 0.30-0.41 in millimeters, cold engine.
Interesting. I wonder what the factory service manual says. Is that the factory DVD? I just did some searching around when I did mine and those were the numbers I found on a few different forms. Since they match them to one another I figured they were accurate. I just looked it up and found this site. Which shows the numbers I used. www.motorcycleparts-hornig.com/BMW-F650-GS-F-700-GS-and-F-800-GS/Maintenance-interval-service/
But let me know what you find out, I'm very curious. It would be a shame if I published the wrong numbers. Or maybe they changed them at some point and updated them?
In either case, as long as they have a touch of clearance and they're not tapping then all is well in my opinion
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow it's the factory DVD, and for a 2009 as mine is too. Weird. The diff isn't huge though, and should be good anyway, it's just a bit irritating that with those numbers my valves are within spec. Meh, I already ordered the shims and they will then be in the looser end of tolerance and should last ages.
EDIT: The DVD is from 2013, maybe the specs got revised?
@@folxam got you. Yeah maybe they did get revised. Let me know if you happen to get to the bottom of it. I suppose better to be a little bit loose anyway since the valves will only continue to seat into the head overtime
about to tackle this. Hopefully all within speck at 30 000km.EDIT: Completed the job. Exhaust .20mm. new shims now around .32mm but its very loud and sounds way looser. intake all still in spec.
Exhaust was out of spec on mine at 74.000 km. It also was very loud after the change. Ticking noise
my 09 800GS sits at 62K do y think valve clearance is still in specs?? , probably nobody never touched it since new ...
My guess would be yeah they are probably still in Spec. But I would definitely check them ASAP. Let me know what you find
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow yes. and what happing with timing chain does it get stretched at that kilometers?
@@dejanmeki I'm not aware of any timing chain issues with these engines. Should be good. Unless it's making noise
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I had to replace my timing chain at around 70.000 km. It was half a link longer.
Pretty disappointed that I watched this entire video and you didn't mention one time how to actually make the adjustment.
Mine didn't need an adjustment
Lol video on valve clearance doesn't even show you how to adjust, thanks for waisting my time ffs
