Airing the tent

We haven’t managed to get camping yet this year and with the Adventure Bike Festival coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to check the tent, mattress and chair. Pleased to say everything was fine. So roll on 22nd June!

    You forgot something important: Make absolutely sure there's some play between the brake pump and brake lever! Also, there is no need to remove the pivot pin from the lever, the pin that goes in the brake pump rotates freely.

    I have a loan F 850 GS from my local dealer, completely brand new, zero miles when handed over. The technicians had gone home so I had to take the bike without the gear lever adjusted. I only realised I’d forgotten to sort it on my commute to London the next morning. It was a nightmare. Anyway, long story short, I tried the spline movement and couldn’t get the shift to go up the gears, only down to first and up to neutral. BMW Assistance came out and set it. The tech used the spline and said you shouldn’t really use the shaft on the quick shifter since it increases the stress on the thread. Anyway, I don’t have long with this because it’s an awful bike for (long) commuting after a GSA and an RT. The telescopic forks after having Duolever (on my K1200S) and Telever, are scary and a nightmare! The wind protection is dreadful, and the engine is like torturing a cat. If you’re into adventure riding predominantly, I could see why you’d buy one. If you predominantly road tour, then an RT, GSA, or a K1600, is what to buy. I hate the 850GS, I can’t wait to swap it out on Tuesday for the RT loan until mine comes back.

    I thought that I would need to move the actual shift lever one spline but it looks like I can probably get enough change by adjusting the quick shifter like you demonstrated. Thanks.

    BMW F750 GS July 2022 build ~ There was no way I could ride comfortably with my size 13 boot and the factory lever setting. I did two adjustments; 1) I managed to get 2 turns up top and 3 turns at the bottom to shorten the whole quick shift assembly (not sure why they need the lock nut ?) - when reassembled it gave me about 8mm and lots of clearance on the casing. On my ride today that wasn't enough so when I got home I 2) did a one spline lift (clockwise) and that gave to another 5 or 6mm - will give it another work out tomorrow. It is such a superbly designed bike in many respects it's a pity they didn't put a bit more adjustment engineering into the Quick Shifter with some barrel bolts. Thanks.
