@@siji117 thanks man, I really enjoy riding it. The seat has been pretty comfortable for now but I haven’t done any really long journeys on it yet, I tend to use my old BMW GS for the longer stuff as it’s really comfortable 😄.

@@argentum_on_glass hello! unfortunately I think that even though it probably could be fitted to the plate, with the overland being 8” compared to the base edition’s 8”, there’s a possibility that the hand guards could strike the unit at lock, especially if you have aftermarket hand guards like BarkBusters. Im currently working away and am not home for another 6 weeks so can’t get you any measurements at this time sorry.

@@MALVSMACHINE if you remember after your time off maybe you can just comment our conversation so i can see it :) that would be great... I also think to set the whole couple a bit higher on the plate but i think the down parts of the two units will still be in the range of the hand guards.

@@argentum_on_glass no problem at all 😁👍🏻. I’ll see if I can make a video to show the dimensions of everything, and show the clearance from the bars.

@@morenachoz Hi Rui, I think it’s awesome that you’re getting a GS and I hope you enjoy working on it and riding it as much as I enjoy mine. I certainly will be bringing more videos and just want to say a big thanks for watching and sending your comment, it’s really appreciated. Please let me know when you get your bike, it will be great to know how you enjoy it. I’m currently working away from home so will commence the riding and filming again when I return in November - I’m really looking forward to it! You’re going to enjoy Ferdia’s videos, he’s a great story teller and his videos just get better and better. Big hug back my friend and have a safe ride too ✊🏻

Thank you Ross, you are too kind 🙏🏻

@@Bob-huisbaas hi Bob, I hope you’re well! Yeah, it’s a funny one…. I really enjoy the T7 but I keep getting drawn back to the GS for the comfort and seating position. I like the fact I could stretch my legs over the boxer heads on the days when we were getting the miles in 😆. The Metzeler tourance tyres done well in the dry dirt and loose gravel but the moment they touched anything that was slightly muddy they lost traction, so I’d say you’ll be safe as long as it’s dry. I Definitely recommend it, just take it slow and ride with someone as it’s a heavy bike to try and get off your leg if you have a bit of a mishap 👍🏻. Let me know how it goes 👌🏻

@@johnmignano7872 hi John, thanks for watching! I believe the beak is to feed air to the oil cooler that sits under the lights. I have seen one bike that has the beak removed but that was on an Instagram post, and it didn’t make the bike look any better 😄.

​@@MALVSMACHINE 😅😂🤣thank you for valued feedback, enjoy and have fun

@@johnmignano7872 😂 no problem at all, I’m always happy to try and help where I can. Thank you, You too mate 😁👍🏻

Hi Billy, no problem at all, I’m glad it helped 👌🏻. Happy riding ✊🏻

@@MALVSMACHINE if the front feels very soft and with a slight movement of the handlebars the whole bike shakes, would I go stiffer?

Hi Billy. I haven’t really experienced what you’re feeling there but it does sound like the suspension is too soft and you could be going through the travel quite quickly - the rebound may be a bit too slow as well? It would probably be best to reset back to the standard setting and then work from there, to find what feels better for wherever you’re riding.

I use the website motorworks.co.uk as they have a really good selection of BMW parts, new and used 👍🏻

@@MALVSMACHINE Have you heard of euromoto electrics? for shipping in Canada? BTW thanks for the video. very instructional as i am in the process of fixing a 2001 1150R. Al most as old as me.....

Do you show what the procedure is for tightening or losening the rocker arm. I have a knocking sound on th RHS cylinder and i read it amy be cause by too loose rocker arm....??How do I tighten them??

@@InterimExec I haven’t heard of them, I haven’t really looked much further than Motorworks really as they had what I needed and delivered pretty quickly👍🏻. No problem at all, I hope it helps and I hope you’re having as much fun with the 1150R as I had with the GS 😄

@@InterimExec I done a pushrod change and then had to refit and tighten the rocker arms…. I think I covered it over two videos which I labelled episode 3 and 4 on the thumbnail. I seem to remember fitting everything in episode 3 and then having to wait for the torque angle gauge to be delivered before I could check the clearances and complete the torque settings on the bolts in episode 4. I’d like to think the process is the same as the 1150R but I’d say it’s worth checking the manual just to make sure 👍🏻.

It was fun 😆🤘🏻

Yeah, I was going to pack it in around 700 subs but it kept growing steadily so I decided to keep at it as I quite enjoy it. Will be learning and doing more with it next year so am investing in some good gear, and will learn how to use it and fit it all together…. And will buy a nice old project to tinker with, bring some variety and all that.

No problem Martin 👍🏻

@@GadgetMart unfortunately I haven’t ridden an R1200 GS to be able to give a comparison.

Hi Stephen, that sounds really frustrating. I’m really curious as to what that could be as I can’t imagine both injectors failing at the same time.

Take the plate off the inside of the tank what holds the fuel pump and filter on...Rewire it...Also the wires from the ignition switch perish new ones can be bought from motorworks...Then Change the Hall Sensor...

@@OldMotorcycleAdventures hello mate, unfortunately he doesn’t have them anymore and I had to buy an extra gripper mount for my newer helmets as a result ☹️

@MALVSMACHINE dang, figured I'd ask! Is your current mount still operable or did you have to find a solution for this helmet? Just trying to weigh all my options. Wanted to stay away from the gopro being on top

@@OldMotorcycleAdventures the 3D printed mount is still in use so it lasted really well, but when I start using my new dirtbike helmet I have a Dango design mount ready to go. I use a Bell helmet when riding my GS which I use the dango mount for and have found it does a good job.

@MALVSMACHINE that looks like a good solution, thanks for the help!

@@OldMotorcycleAdventures no problem at all 👍🏻.

@@rossdburke thanks Ross, happy riding dude ✊🏻

@@mickdundee7604 cheers mick, hope to make another one there as soon I can, with better camera views next time. It’s the Strata Florida green lane in Mid Wales. Cracking route for bikes and 4x4s 👌🏻

Hi! The only way I know to adjust the suspension so that it sits higher up the travel is by adding more preload but if the bike was owned by someone else, they may have modified the suspension or it may need a service.

Thanks man, you’re too kind 😄. Just finished watching your final instalment of the Nepal visit. Keep up the great work mate 👌🏻

@@steves6614 hi Steve! Thanks very much, I’m glad you’re enjoying it, this was a fun video to make and the showed me the bike’s character.

Aaaahh yeeeeahh!! I’m happy that’s all it took to get it working again, roll on the next one ✊🏻😄

Hi Gino!! It’s been a while, I hope you are well my friend! As always, thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it and am glad you messaged as I kept the unit I took off so that I could do a little research and delve in a bit deeper, so that information will help me take a look when I get chance and will hopefully give me a good refurbished unit. Thank you for taking the time to write all that out, I always appreciate your comments as they help so much 🙏🏻

@@steves6614 hi Steve, hope you’re well. I’m glad you still have the GSA, keep holding on to it 👌🏻

@@gvnthomas hahaha nice one Gav, thanks for watching and being the first to comment 😄

@@bikeserv Yes they’re great bikes. I recently got back from a tour around Scotland and loved every minute of riding it. All clearances and torque values were checked in the video that followed this one as I was waiting on a delivery of new feeler gauges and torque angle gauge 👍🏻

@@MALVSMACHINE used to do these and the 1200s every day.niw that they got old,I always have at least on in my shop for a rebuild

@@bikeserv that’s awesome, would love to have a job where I work on these every day 👌🏻

@@MALVSMACHINE you'll be happy until you start messing with the abs,or drop the engine.could be worse though

@@bikeserv haha I can imagine 😄. Yes definitely could be worse 👍🏻

Ah man, that sounds awesome! I wish I could’ve found something like that when I was looking! £700 is a proper bargain fair play, plenty of fun to be had with that I’m sure 👌🏻. Are you going to be filming it or just happily tinkering in the background?
