Ich wollte mir so eine TDM kaufen. Habe schon gehört das einstellen der Ventile wäre so ein großer Aufwand a er als ich jetzt den Ausbau der Batterie gesehen habe werde ich mir dieses Motorrad nicht kaufen. Soetwas zu konstruieren ist doch eine Unverschämtheit gegenüber den Kunden. Unmöglich!
The red brake grease is for internal hydraulic components at assembly. "Rubber Grease" that is rubber and fluid inert. No reason to use it externally, it's not meant for that. A tiny smear of molybdenum if you are paranoid-but also not really necessary as the piston pushes-not slides- against the brake pad. You don't want anything that is lubricating near brake components. The rubber grease you use will just melt and run onto the disk then the pads.
This has been helpful, thank you so much. One piece of advice though, when you use words to emphasize something, please keep them on screen for little bit longer.
very well-done job, excellent video, I have an R1200R 2007 and it's basically the same, BMW made some homework on those bikes so on the new models you do not have to disassemble the whole rear arm in order to extract the driveshaft and that is a beauty. I managed somehow to replace the boots and grease the splines without taking off the rear arm...but it was not easy to connect back the shaft to its place.
I simply wonder why BMW didn’t make the oil pouring hole on the top of the final gear case on the right side so that you don’t have to remove the wheel.
How do you keep your wheels looking like new? I wash the bike with car shampoo including scrubbing the wheels but they just look dirty. Thanks for this video, now I I know how to change the pads!
Nice video. Not sure if mine is on the way out on my R1200RT but every now and then I press the starter and it turns once, then dies. Sometimes if I hold the button down longer than 2 sec it drains the power until a factory reset happens. Usually only happens once after a short ride if I'm getting petrol or going shopping, so engine is still warm. And if I let go, let the battery recover for a few secs it then starts as normal. Battery shows 12v+ on the dash with engine off
Ciao e complimenti un italiano ti segue 😊 scusa gli spessimitri son tutti uguali o devo comprare una buona marca e se sì quali è quali hai usato... Grazie e buona vita da Luigi
