This video got saved. When i get my gs out of the garage this is the first thing i am doing. My poor starter hangs a bit and in combination with a bad battery it’s totally not healthy.
Good job Dan. The 1150's need a good battery as well. I found out the hard way that a less than optimum battery will kill your starter motor. I replaced mine with an after market one.
Cheers Dino. Yes indeed, a lot of this bmw is similar to a car. Has a full size alternator driven by a belt. Dry clutch with separate transmission. Quite cool for a bike in my opinion
Thanks for watching! Wouldn't be a very common bike in Japan? I haven't removed the whole cowling. Removed some of the components in this video th-cam.com/video/iDvqTU78c70/w-d-xo.html What are you trying to do?
@@Toranosuke0011 Right i get you. I am not sure sorry i haven't removed mine. I would guess there would be some bolts underneath and then unplug the indicators and it may come out?
Hi Dan, hope you're keeping well and the NZ winter hasn't been too hard on you. Helpful video and I like how they've put a sturdy cover over the starter assembly. Still a mighty impressive bike. You thinking of trying a 1300? Out soon. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍✌
Doing good thanks, how are you? Nz winter has been good this year starting to warm up now. The 1300 would be a great bike, I haven't ridden any gs newer than the 1150 I am afraid I would like them to much and trade in😂
Y 03 R1150R was making excessive noise so I was going to take the starter off but when I went to loosen the bolts, they were already loose so I tightened them over 1 full turn and tried it and it was ok. I had just bought the bike and I think the guy had been “working” on it.
Thanks for the video! I’m TH-cam University my new 01. It’s been doing the same thing! Now I can fix it with blowing up my battery lmfao Now to go watch the battery video…
for all others out there. all other R englines are basically the same. I just did this on my r1150r, and works like a charm. thanks

Wow, be worth giving checking all the important bolts of the bike to make sure they are ok
@@MOTODANS
Yes, I just got it so i will be going o er it and changing all fluids and checking everything I can get to.
Hey Dan!
Great post.. thank you!
Hey Greg,
Thanks for watching
Simple fix, well done. *T4S*
Thanks 👍
Hi Dan. What did you use to clean it?
I just used kerosene on a brush. Brake cleaner would probably be better though
Thanks for the video! I’m TH-cam University my new 01. It’s been doing the same thing! Now I can fix it with blowing up my battery lmfao
Now to go watch the battery video…
