    Dude makes me want that bike, then I remember I have that bike. BTW your wife is gold. Still got to pay attention to the reservoir. I note on my 2018 the rear brake always turns to mush over a short time. Lot of people complain about this.

    One important thing: After filling the reservoir with fresh fluid, you should flush the line, then fill up as needed.

    Old mechanic, I'm watching all your videos from here in Brazil, I'm going to buy a bike like yours and I want to learn a lot about certain maintenance. Thank you very much for the objective explanations. After all, could you make a video about cleaning the cardan shaft? ❤

    Weer een mooie duidelijke uitleg. Ik neem aan dat als er een ABS aanwezig was, je ook weer eerst de ABS ontlucht zoals je dat liet zien bij het ontluchten van de voorrem van de R1150 GS.

    If you use venting valves + vacuum suction bellow from Stahlbus you dont need a strap. And If you have Moto Scan and the OBD adaptor you can activate ABS ventig program to flush the old fluid from your ABS system too.

    I used a one way valve from an aquarium air pump line into the waste container then simply pumped the fluid through, closed nipple when clear fluid run through

    Er bestaat ook zoiets als een Oxford Solo, een slang met een ventiel in zodat het schroefje van remklauw niet elke keer moet dichtgedraaid worden telkens het rempedaal/hendel wordt ingeknepen.

    Hi Old Mechanic, another great video from you, I like them all. A lot of what applies to the water-cooled one is also the same as your air-cooled Beemer or my R 1200 R from 2012. By the way: you have a clever wife 😇

    Professor, eu faço diferente nas minhas motocicletas, eu não gosto de estar intervindo muito nessas coisas delicadas, então o que eu faço periodicamente, à cada seis meses, é abrir e esgotar com uma seringa os reservatórios desses fluidos e depois repor com fluidos novos. Sei que isso é polêmico e inusual e que eu nunca terei fluidos 100% novos nos sistemas, ainda que estou gastando mais fluidos em um ano do que fazendo do método convencional, mas também tenho a certeza que as minhas motos estão sempre com os fluidos com, no mínimo, 75% de qualidade e eficiência. Repito, não é o método convencional, não estou a recomendar o que eu faço, mas acredite, isso sempre funcionou ao longo de muitas décadas. É muito simples, rápido, evito de colocar ferramentas 🔧 que marcam os parafusos, não corro o risco da dor de cabeça que seria entrar ar nos sistemas e, acredite, funciona muito bem, o fluido novo se mistura ao fluido anterior então estou sempre renovando a qualidade e as propriedades desses fluidos. O que o Senhor poderia dizer a respeito disso?.

    My R1200RT is 2014 with 30k miles but it doesn't look anywhere near as good. I restored a lot of it but riding in UK weather all year round isn't kind to the bike. Just renewed my rear calliper pistons and seals but there's always that last bit of stubborn air stuck in the system somewhere. Maybe in the ABS

    • @N269
      @N269 Рік тому +1

      Just get a new DOT4 bottle if you don't bleed brakes regularly. Don't "borrow" and don't use 2001 bottle... use fresh (or within last 6months) fluid.
      Get 2 smaller bottles as you'll use more or less than others. Every brake fluid change will use different amounts. There is no hard and fast rule on quantities -KEEP THE RESERVOIR TOPPED UP! NEVER REUSE WHAT IS EXPELLED regardless of how nice it looks.

  • @malvinashimanov1700
    @malvinashimanov1700 Рік тому +1

    Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.
    Always pump through master cylinder, with fresh fluid. By sticking hoses and sucking fluids out, you introduce contamination. Today fluid is hydrophobic, by absorbing humidity into it.
    Just get extra BMW fresh fluid canister and pump fluid out of rear caliper. Took me 15-20 minutes to replace entire canister. Just by trying to create a content, not helping other Faulks.
    Great entertainment, nothing else. A simple process exaggerated to a MAX...
