hello. Is this the autumn scenery around early October? Wondering if Oct 22 this year will be too late for me to see the beautiful autumn foliage. I'm still torn whether or not to push through with the long drive from Sapporo
I think the best time to see the autumn leaves at Mikuni Pass is from late September to early October. The video was taken on October 12, but the leaves had almost completely fallen in the upper part of Mikuni Pass and Sounkyo. Therefore, I think October 18 is a little late.
Thank you for the video, I was thinking about this mod as well, but never took the leap of actually doing it. I assume you did this to get better feel and get ride of the spongy feel of the brake system, did it help? How are you liking it?
I will add that this is only done to a cold engine. I would give the motor 12 hours of sitting in no less than 65° Also it would be better if the bike was on it's center stand.
Excellent video. now I see why everyone buys the GS. regardless of any issues. That right there will keep your bike on the road for years. And lubing the splines regular
Great video but I could figure out why you used the plastic ties to seat the drive shaft. Is it easier then just rotating the drive shaft ? PS could you make a video to show how you get rid of the drive shaft noise sound like slack. My R1200 RT makes this noise at 5mph when I disengage clutch then reengage.
I had a Toyota previa car that I owned for over ten years. I checked the valve clearance after 300,000 kilometres and they were all still within the limits. The valves used an upside down bucket.
Very good video! After changing the shims you have to turn the rear wheel a few times and set the top dead center again before the new valve clearance measurement. Reason: The crankshaft should be turned to allow the new shims to fit. Greetings from Germany, Bernd
Great informative video 👍 could you not remove the spark plug to make it easier to turn over the engine when trying to achieve the top-dead centre on aligning the camshafts
What rotating tools did you use to remove the bolts in the beginning? Both the ignition coil cover and the engine guard. I really like the design but could not find out the name.
@@Silentethief It called breaker handle or breaker bar (In Japan , usually called Spinner handle.) www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Flex-Handle-Breaker-47017/dp/B07MHL6BK5/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=breaker+handle&qid=1622080792&sr=8-13
@@SchwarzeLanzenreiter Thank you! I didn't recognize it was a breaker bar, but now I see it's a smaller breaker bar with an extension. I'd never thought of using a breaker bar like that, but it's genius!
As a power source for motorcycles, the motor definitely has advantages that the engine does not. However, the Zero SR/F is too unstable to handle. Also, battery life and charging time are tough.
It's true that the R1200GS doesn't have a timing chain on the cam sprocket, so it may not have been necessary to remove the tensioner. Rather, the service manual instructs you to install the tensioner, part number 111512, so that it is mechanically tensioned during maintenance, since the vehicle's tensioner is hydraulically tensioned.
I bought at amazon , amzn.to/3uVXBcz In UK, www.amazon.co.uk/Summit-Tools-Certificate-Calibration-WSP3-030CN/dp/B07H34BYM5/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=digital+torque+wrench&qid=1618631760&sr=8-9 this has different logo, but the contents look the same.
