Only just found your page on KZbin, where have you been all my life, I prefer to work on my own bike, and all the thing's I was wondering about you have answered all my questions, especially with valve adjustments, and how to set up my carburettors, next thing, I'm buying is a gs -911. And i don't think I'm gonna go into a dealership again,, apart from buying parts 😂 And as I sign of appreciation, sir , I'm gonna post something on my bm groups 😊

[@TheOldMechanic]

@TheOldMechanic just thought I'd let you know, I've went for the motoscan and I have a feeling I'm gonna be very busy shortly, 🤣 I watched your video on setting your valves, and that's my next step on working on my bike, Can't praise your channel enough, 😃😃😃😃

Thanks mate, happy newyear !

[@fredlgs1601]

Danke ,sehr gut erklärt

[@zefini7397]

Old Friend, here I use a more practical way to keep the brake fluids of my R1200 GS 2012 always in good condition, I know it's not an orthodox practice, but it's been working for decades. I simply change every six months the entire contents of the front and rear brake fluid inside the reservoir by syringing the fluid out and replacing it with fresh fluid. So the old fluid inside the caliper and the pipes is mixing with the new fluid that I put in the reservoir and I always have a relatively new quality of fluid in the system. It's easy, fast and I don't need to be intervening with tools on the system. I know that I will never have 100% new fluids in the system, but I will never have less than 70% new fluids either. What do you think about it?

[@jeffreylindop5782]

you say use the wifes toothbrush, was that the wifes towel that you used also, enjoyed the video keep them coming.

[@GHART47]

I'm disappointed, my adventure is sooo dirty. Your's is soooo clean. How often do you clean the caliper.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Atleast every year 😂

[@albertbrouwer3403]

Nice to see your video’s! I just cleaned my brake calipers with water and dreft, works perfect. Where did you get the rvs bolts?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Volgens mij iets van RVS Paleis, ff google dan vind je het wel 😉

[@Alexander_1492]

Thanks for showing Very understandable and easy to follow. Did it know myself. Due to this vlog. But I don't understand why you are draining some brake fluid. Is that really necessary?

[@multiflx]

Dont’t forget to pump up your brakes and to top up the reservoir before you start riding again or you might be in for a surpise. Also brake fluid can easily be taken out of the reservoir using a syringe (watch the paint). No risk of introducing air into the system.

[@Ducatijay72]

I think he knows what to do 🤦‍♂️

[@CapelAdventurer]

Not entirely convinced he does, to be honest..

[@MURTSURFINDEWAVES]

I like your table lift.. it looks like wood? have you any plan drawings of how you built it?

[@traxterra7725]

Do you also take fluid out of the reservoir when cleaning the caliper on the other side?

[@afhostie]

If you crack open the bleeder it's really easy to compress the caliper

[@GJS-live]

Excellent. I'm hopeless with spanners but a mechanic says I need new brake calipers (Brembo) after only 24K miles? Do you think they could just need renovating/cleaning?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi, ofcourse you can put new seals in them, as I can't believe that the pistons are worn. But then again thats just my opinion while not able to see what is wrong with your calipers.

[@kevo1066]

Great videos you do really helpful i have the 2010 GS not the GSA and you have given me the confidence to have a go myself what is the (CHEEP) CLEANING SOLUTION..!! you use please

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks Kevin

[@kevo1066]

What is the cleaning solution you use to clean the brakes with please?

[@kevo1066]

Sorry how stupid of me😱 I have just watched it again i missed that bit last night when the Amazon guy knock on the door 🙄 thank again.

[@TheOldMechanic]

😉👍🏻👊🏻🏍

[@jerrykan546]

Hi Old Mechanic, Je regarde avec beaucoup d’intérêt toutes tes vidéos, surtout celles concernant la R1200GS de 2010 parce que j'ai exactement la même. Quel est ce fabuleux outil pour écarter les pistons ? J'en profite pour poser une question... Je n'ai pas trouvé de vidéo concernant le changement du liquide d'embrayage... Est-ce compliqué ? Ou cela peut-être fait sans se rendre chez un garagiste... Merci pour ton très bon et très passionnant travail.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Salut ici vous pouvez voir la playlist de tous mes entretiens sur ma R1200GS kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXWYYZiboNWaZ6s

[@carloslasarte2153]

No vuelve a reponer el liquido que quitó al principio??

[@gradaadil7099]

hi how to adjust s1000rr 2010 tps sensor

[@dedeig.g.2592]

hi , way you mark it with your creion at the end ?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Its for me a quick way to see if I torqued a bolt 😉

[@dedeig.g.2592]

@@TheOldMechanic nice 👍 i really enjoyed your videos . i am looking to buy a 2008 bmw r1200r and i wanted to have a reference point, as i plan do the service my self . i am a bit worried about the cost of parts :) as many people say that Japanese bike are a lot cheaper to maintain .

[@diyeveryday67]

Thank you!!!

[@TheOldMechanic]

You're welcome! 👍🏻😉

[@gabrielegiorgiocremona3351]

Where can i find BMW Gs 1250 operating manual? Thank you

[@sander7058]

An operating manual or a service manual? For service manuals, i always use a manual from Haynes. You can find those on the interweb. Goodluck

[@Vjekoslav-vf3hr]

Kitchen detergent will disolve any grease on the moving pistons. Not good for moving parts to be dry

[@bandika75.22]
