I would not mess with the feeler gage and the electrodes as they have pointed ends. inserting a blade can do more harm than good. The plug comes with the right gap so one can just use it as is.

@jmose1911 Год назад

NGK Iridium IX - DCPR8EIX plugs, there is only one electrode strap and the center electrode is Iridium and much finer than the NGK plugs you recommend. Supposedly higher performance? I am very new to BMW, recently purchased a high mileage police bike, '07 R1200RT-P. Quite the learning experience thus far! Thanks TOM, someday hope to take a ride through all the Netherlands, having grown up listening to my Grandmother Houghtaling's stories.

Ciao, just done my left plugs following your - great - vid. Hard to "slide" the plastic cover, though 😅. I was wondering what are tightening torque to put the engine guard bolts back in place

@Papirf2 2 года назад

Hello Old Mechanic. Excellent video! Thanks for posting. I’m curious about the ratchet you use. At 4min, it looks like you can twist the handle to continue turning the bolt.

The brand is Proxxon 😉

Hello my friend. Im looking at your videos but can't find one about valve checking and adjustment. Im planning to do the valve work to my Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 but need your craftmanship experiences ! You are a great mechanic and your videos are awesome. I hope that you can post a video of that ,( shims under buckets valve manteinance) Greetings from Mexico !

Ofcourse when I got one in my shed and its time then I will make a video about it 😉

Hi there, I was wondering if you made a mistake at 7.14? I thought it was a 16 mm socket that was required for oil cooled 1200 GS. Great channel, I’ve subscribed . Thanks for a reply if possible. 😉👍🏻

@TheOldMechanic 6 месяцев назад

Hi its a 14mm deep socket wrench to get these sparkplugs (BMW R1200GS - 2010) out. 😉

@donreece655 2 года назад

Great Video. Where do you recommend purchasing the spark plugs? I see prices from $57 ea to $15 ea

Do you recommend using dielectric grease on the top electrode of the plug? I’m asking regarding a 2010 R1200RT.

Oil head has torque of spark plugs 23 Nm by manual. If not please repair me.

Nope the torque of the spark op plugs is 12 Nm 😉

@@TheOldMechanic but this is for new spark plugs. I have 2010 GSA and in manual is 20 - 23 Nm. What is correct?

Your Adventure is build April 2010, sparkplugs are the NGK MAR8B-JDS and the torque is 12 Nm 😉

@binbinlele1041 Год назад

You say that the sparkplugs need to be lubed with anti-seize but it makes the thread greasy and that will be of influence of the torque settings....?

@TheOldMechanic Год назад

Yep but thats just a bit 😉

@binbinlele1041 Год назад

So you torq the plugs a little too low.... or do you compensate and gues a few Nm extra..?

@228ANDY Год назад

You have to remove part of the engine guard and some other parts just for putting out the plug. I think the manufacturer needs some contrivance here.

@zulluchief Год назад

try to change the spark plugs on the four-cylinder engine like S1000XR

@ragnarrock8747 2 года назад

Hi again Old Mechanic, quick question, I recently remove my main plugs to check as it is running rough and found out there's a bit of oil on the tip of the plugs(the tip connected to the ignition coil not on the side doing the spark)..I wonder what does that tell.. So, I just clean the plugs with contact cleaner and a bit of very fine sandpaper. Now the bike is running good and smoother.. It works but should I be worried or check something else.. I would love to hear your thoughts and insight.. Thanks in advance and as usual awesome tutorial...

@TheOldMechanic 2 года назад

Hi Virdi, when you take off the valve cover you will see 2 rubber seals. The outer large one, and the rubber round seal for the sparkplug shaft, I think that, that one is leaking. Greets from The Old Mechanic.😉🏍

@ragnarrock8747 2 года назад

Thanks Old Mechanic.. Make sense. I'll check that together when I do the valve adjustment.. I may have to replace them eventually..

@fabiopunk1661 2 года назад

@@ragnarrock8747 its better to replace both seals after each valve check

@TheOldMechanic 2 года назад

👍Yep atleast inspect then carefully for tiny cracks, and flexibilety. By doubt allways renew them. 😉🏍

@david551970 Год назад

Hello old mechanic. You tighten the spark plugs to 12Nm, in the book I have from the BMW R1200GS it says that it is tightened to 25Nm. What do you think about this, I'm a little confused because I don't know what is right. My GS is a 2009. Otherwise, I like your videos.

@Gebruikersnaamuser-ui8xz6ni8j Год назад

Your bike has different plugs,they are m12 and need to be at 23Nm. This one (DOHC) has m10 threaded spark plugs.

@guitarplayerwannabee 2 года назад

Hi Old Mechanic, thanks for your video. Do you not feel that putting assembly lube on the plug threads affects the torque achieved as specified torques usually assume dry threads?

@fabiopunk1661 2 года назад

I have been using a dab of copper grease on new spark plugs in the last 50 years and always tighten by hand. Never had a problem nor stripped threads. I suggest you do not tighten the plugs too much this is what people usually do

@kc329191 Год назад

My opinion is that yes it does mess with Torquing going on. But the benefits of one Torquing in the first place is Good most people go by feel (Never Good) Secondly, like Old Mechanic said you never will have problems. I personally will do this from now on because It is methodical and is a good reminder to always use a Torque wrench. The little possibility of over torque using anti seize it outweighed by the benefits. My opinion only.

@blndrckr 2 года назад

Not ez cuz you gotta R&R that engine guard every 12,000. I say PITA. Resolution: get an Ilium engine guard. Although Ilium quality i'm disappointed with as mine has rusty pits all over it in only 24 months.

@TheOldMechanic 2 года назад

Hi Kevin you are so right, mine started to rust after about 2 to 3 years. I contacted Hepco & Becker about it and the only thing they could do was giving me a discount of 75 euro's on a new engine guard...
