Maintenance Part Deux! BMW HP2, Tubliss, Wheel bearings, Trouble...

- The second gathering of the Awesome Players at Ivan's secret maintenance lair just off the island of Montreal. Record flooding meant that we weren't sure if we would be able to get back home but Ivan had some blankets and plenty of booze so we weren't worried. Coffee with booster and some Timbits were ingested. Chris installed his reworked forks on the HP2 then it was on to repairing the damage to the engine. A crash the year before had punched a hole in the valve cover and broken off one of the mounting lugs. The heads needed to be re-installed and re-timed. Meanwhile Jason was installing the Tubliss system on the rear wheel of his KTM 500EXC. A bit of a finicky system and I think it will go much smoother next time. Several crusty wheel bearings were also swapped out with heat and a slide hammer. Back at the HP2 tensions were running high as the head bolts were torqued down. Three rounds of torquing while everyone held their breathe. Then disaster. The cam sprocket had rotated and was torqued down in wrong spot. This flattened the indexing key and it now just spun without rotating the valve train. A new part would be needed. Pretty typical day of wrenching for the Awesome Players.

Nice to know I am not the only one that fixes-ish stuff. Love Chris’s optimism.
Ignorance truly is bliss.
Maintenance parties are by far my favorite Awesome Players video’s!!!
They are fun for us. We actually get quite a bit done some days.
How come no one has suggested replacing the rear sprocket on that KTM!? That thing is toast! Great video guys! Love it and cant wait for my own next maintenance day in my own man cave! Keep emcoming!
It still has few kms left.... maybe 30 or 40....
I'm glad You're guys back with movies:) and this one was really fun to watch. Keep going! Ride safe!
Two more parts in the maintenance series to go.
Instablaster...
I love that keychain (insert before flight) sticking out of that door. I have my DR650 key on one of those. I get a lot of fun comments on it. If my bike ever seriously breaks down, I'm bringing it from Kentucky to y'all in Canada. Not because I believe you'll repair it, but instead because I will definitely need a good laugh. Y'all have a lot of fun, and by all appearances, make good coffee. I hope you can read this because I can't type Canadian. "Thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy.
Good team!!!
That would be me,when the tire iron flew off the rim i about pissed myself,keep up the great videos and be safe if possible
Will do. Cheers.
Oh wow I haven't seen a vid from youz guyz for over a year! Missed you! Much love from Croatia!
Right back at you. Cheers.
Dorks. Complete dorks. I LOVE it so...Bill in Arizona
Thanks Bill!
YAY!
So the number of turns you needed to achieve the final torque value was the indication that you were squishing the “key” on the sprocket. Good lesson learned. . .on Chris’ bike 🏍
It was denial. Ivan kept spinning the motor and we all kept saying it was going to be OK. I actually cut out a bunch of footage since the sequence was getting long.
I feel like 24:57 pretty much sums you guys up nicely! haha
Got to stay loose.
Awesome
what new bike Chris is talking about? nothing after hp2 will make him happy. any way good to see you again in so cheery mood, but when we will see some proper canadian mud?
He talks but will be faithful.
I know it is a pain in the rear to edit these videos but could you hurry up... I LOVE THEM!!! Chris 0 - Sprocket 1 LOL!
Will do!
Im sitting here in N.Y. LMAO you guys crack me up.
I thought I heard something from the south. Glad you are enjoying the videos.
10:40 - lols.. that laugh...
19:59 - Tensioner.
Thanks for sharing.
I think I only laugh like that with the boys. Always sounds weird when I am editing.
@@AwesomePlayers That's the kind of laugh that only results from a near miss. I wonder if maybe you and the boys have more near misses than when you're at home!
Unreasonable Steev Group think sometimes means you make a decision you would never make if you were alone.!
A KTM 1090 adventure would be perfect for Chris when the HP2 is done.
Maybe the 790? Or a Husky 801.....
I always am amazed at what Nerb does with his 1190.
Let me know if that tire iron was facing south so I know to duck when it gets here
It was west I believe.
How is that Neutech Tubliss working out for Jason, thinking on getting one for the CRF250L. Next season upgrade :)
So far I think Jason is liking it. Really low pressures gives amazing traction.
@@AwesomePlayers Thank you :)
Does he ride on the road with the Tubliss insert?
He does as does pretty much everyone else I know that uses the system.
Does this count as educational video time ? If I every have to replace a cam shaft sprocket I have this book marked on what not to do. Pine Barrens 500 March of 2020 (Maybe) it will be warm by Canada standards. Come on down and play in the sand !
Always wanted to do that ride. Isn't that where the Sopranos bury the bodies?
@@AwesomePlayers Bodies are in the Meadowlands. This is Warton state forest.
@@islipfdchief Good to know!
just the right amount of sketchy. pass the booster. =)
If booze is booster then what is the blow off valve?
@@AwesomePlayers a knowing wink, what happens in the shop stays there.
Its been to long!
I know... I know.....
