Very helpful!! Nicely organized, excellent pace, easy to understand and completely covers the subject. Well done, thank you for taking time to help out a lot of people. :o)
On my GT the wires were not long enough to remove the grip from the bar. The workshop manual instructs to remove several body panels to get to the harness and free it up. I didn't want to do that so decided to remove the bar from the upright, which you could not get off. I got it off by putting a long 10mm bolt in place of the bolt that retains it (screwed into the end of the round bar), then hammering on it to push it out of the rubber mount. It's tight but not hard to get it out that way, just be sure to have a long enough bolt, the one I used was 70mm, that's as short as will work. I was then able to slide the bar out of the grip and switch. Re-installing the bar was the reverse, but I hammered directly on the bar end. Getting the bar in the correct position is important, and you won't be perfect, so use a pair of vice grips on the bar end to allow you to twist it. I repaired the switch, the horn button wasn't working but deoxit worked to get it back, I'll have to do a video on that.
Hi Johann I am not to sure what you mean when you talk about drain plugs on the cylinder heads...there is only one oil drain plug and that is the one at the bottom. There is a couple of other videos that will show you the same thing. Regarding the oil service light, I really dont care...I log all my info what I do on my car and bike and when and work according to that. A burning service light is of no concern to me....
Hey bud. Hope you enjoying your GTL. I just got myself a GT and I love that smooth inline 6. It is beyond me why someone would spray a cheap ass paint on such a nice machined finish of the original handlebar. I hope you managed to get it back to the original finish. safe riding meneer
Hi No you don't have to drain all the gas from the tank, but it all depends how much is left... If the tank is filled to the lid it will obviously be much harder to lift it out...
