Personally I wouldn't use the seafoam. Get a bottle of CRC 1tank. It has the right detergents to flush out gummy injectors. Has worked great for me in the past, although it actually hid the real issue I was having, which was bad ignition coil. But it cleaned up the injectors well enough that my misfires went away even though they were ignition coil related. weak spark + weak injectors caused misfire, which went away with clean injectors. But came back. Eventually I narrowed it down to bad ignition coil.
@NSUGS
@NSUGS 3 месяца назад
That right there is exactly what this channel is about! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! I've begun running premium fuel in the family Spark. I figured given the size of the tank, the price difference between regular fuel to premium fuel and the cost of something like Seafoam, it's cheaper and most certainly easier than using a product like Seafoam once in a while. The Spark starts better, runs better and has returned +50km range per tank.
@thedillestpickle
@thedillestpickle 3 месяца назад
@@NSUGS Certain gas stations actually carry premium fuel that contains the same detergent as the CRC 1Tank. It's called PEA detergent. So that's a good idea running premium! Seafoam, I don't know the full history, but I think it's more geared towards cleaning valves, and carburetors, because it has been around a long time. But specifcally aiming at fuel injectors it's best to use PEA detergent, which seafoam doesn't contain.

While I agree with your sentiment, and I too am upset almost everything that isn't bespoke or made with a conscience is considered 'throw-away'. The RnineT shares a lot of components with the DOHC and SOHC R1200 bikes. That's more than 20 years of parts! That lends itself nicely to availability, fair pricing and general knowledge pool. I wouldn't limit the upsetti spaghetti to just BMW, it is far more reaching. The RnineT and DR650 are two bikes I was considering when purchasing a new bike to replace my 2000 Suzuki GS500E, I specifically sought a 'retro' bike with a dumb-as-rocks architecture. That said, the CANbus I see being irritating to deal with in the future...in 20+ years...

@NSUGS 3 месяца назад
I'm going to assume a mis-shift/false neutral. I have the exact moment of failure in another video. So far, only 2 broken teeth, however I can't figure out why the gearbox locks up when rotating the shafts manually. Not like I can apply much torque to twist the gears into a bind. My first thought was the shifter mechanism, but I'm really not sure now. Given the history of these R1200 gearboxes, I'm calling it a freak accident and taking my loses. I'm just as confused. Shy of pulling the shafts and inspecting the tolerances between the gears, I'm not sure what else to do.

you mentioned the Opera 5000 - do you have any info on those units, particularly referring to calibration. the information out there is not clear and this video is the only time i have heard mention that while calibrating you are actually adjusting 'gain' and not the co reading, this makes more sense to what i experienced in the field,
@NSUGS
@NSUGS 3 месяца назад
The calibration adjustment method is identical between 5000 and 6000 models. As far as adjustments, you are directly adjusting the gain, and subsequently the PPM reading. The real key is to complete your calibration adjustments within the time on delay (factory set to 30s), this makes your calibrations repeatable and increases the integrity of the system. I don't have much info on Opera 5000, other than it's almost identical to Opera 6000. Opera changed to 6000 ~2015, and Belimo (Swiss) bought Opera (Canadian) in May 2021, to my knowledge, the only difference post-acquisition are the labels and serial number structure.
@PeterMcKenny
@PeterMcKenny 3 месяца назад
@@NSUGS thank you so much for your fast response, when the video was a year old I wasn't sure if you would ever look at it lol. So I had talked to Belimo and the tech there was telling me that when you calibrate the sensor it should be the top number that changes and the bottom number is like a 'life meter' and if it goes below 200 you have to replace the sensor. perhaps they should watch your video. I have at least 6 of these 5000's to calibrate the first one I tried gave me this . applied zero gas and display was 0 , apply span gas of 100 ppm CO and display was 100. t this point bottom number was something like 60 so i started to lower it ( thinking it was like a gain) and got it to 23 before the "100 ppm" on the display changed then brought it back to 100 and added a few points to the gain for cushion. when i tried the NO2 part of the sensor my span gas is 5ppm and the display climbed to 10ppm gain was displaying in the 300's i lowered it to about 20 then the display switched from 10 to 0 with no gradient. my thoughts are CO sensor OK and now reading correct and the NO2 senor is due for replacement. would you agree?

Keep in mind, boxers like to scuff pistons and burn oil, certainly an economy car with a boxer is no exception. Ask any Porsche boxer engine enthusiast, BMW boxer enthusiast and obviously a Subaru enthusiast. I mention this because while yes, replacing parts can help, if there's a preexisting issue with oil consumption, your car will eventually always have a P0420 due to a clogged cat or fouled sensor(s). I cleared my P0420 with new OE Denso O2 sensors and a cheap cat/header and the code went away for a few months at best. Take this video with a grain of salt, but by all means, give 'er a go, you have my blessing. But don't loose sight of the bigger picture!
@Nhfilz
@Nhfilz 7 месяцев назад
@@NSUGS what would the preexisting oil consumption be caused by? Mechanic said it was timing belt or plugs, so they did that whole process and the light came back on immediately after I left the shop, next day they said it needed plug wires and an oil change, (don’t know why that wasn’t done with timing belt but.. light came right back on. I’m at my wits end and have dumped 2k into it this week. I’d be really pissed if the answer was to replace the engine or deal with not having traction control and cruise control.
@NSUGS
@NSUGS 7 месяцев назад
Oil consumption in a boxer typically comes from piston skirt wear, it's just inherent with the design, gravity isn't helping. If you're keen with tools, the list on the video is really not hard to do yourself. You could try O2 plug extensions, I have no experience so can't recommend anything. But if you're at your wits end, you have nothing to lose. Use quality parts otherwise. Sorry I don't have much else to offer. Any questions, feel free to reach out.
@NSUGS
