BMW R1200GS [2010] POLY BELT CHANGE... ! 👨‍🔧---🏍

[@marcosalvi7886]

dimostrazione chiara e semplice! Fatta bene.. Bravo!

[@craigkarimalbasri4317]

Just got my hands on a 2011 R1200GS....can't wait to use your helpful tips to start doing my own maintenance...at least the easy stuff. Thank you for taking the time to put together these easy to follow tutorials.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Glad to help

[@zor8a]

Thank you very much for all of your great videos. God Bless.

[@robertmcdougall8409]

I always want to rush out and buy a socket set after watching one of your videos, great content.

[@traxterra7725]

I was hoping that you could give my continental 4PK582 multi V belt your blessing. I figure that your blessing is at least as good as BMW's. Thanks for the wonderful content, it's amazingly helpful and entertaining as well.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks !

[@timebreak2166]

now, you save me... thanks. and .,,, I took 1 Hour to this work ...

[@TheOldMechanic]

Job done, and you saved money too. Now grab a beer / coffee ! 😉👍🏻👊🏻

It was a piece of cake. Thanks.

[@blackyuan1]

Great video.Thanks for your sharing.

[@raphaelwittmann395]

Great Videos, very usefull for my fresh bought R1200GS 2011, and very funny style !

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks !

[@Alexander_1492]

Goeie uitleg en het is inderdaad heel erg simpel om het zelf te doen. Dankzij deze heldere uitleg. Het meeste werk zit 'm nog in (de)monteren van de deksel -;)

[@TheOldMechanic]

Helemaal gelijk 😉👍🏻

[@carlogiannattasio1860]

Good morning, surely you know that there are still many bikers who use the R-series BMWs... could you think of them at some point? it is good to have teachings about them.. excellent tutorials, thank you very much.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Carlo, ofcourse I will make a video when I get one in my shed 😉👍🏻👊🏻🏍

[@TheRealRayzor]

I love your video content, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.. I certainly appreciate it..

[@TheOldMechanic]

👍🏻👊🏻🏍

[@eliterry3785]

Valuable content mate. Thanks a bunch!

[@frederick4552]

Top video !!!! Thanks very much !

[@sustainableliving880]

Top job! In my country it’s the Alternator belt I do believe. So with this there is no timing to worry about eh?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Good question, on the bmw its totaly outside of timing problems, just a belt driving the alternator. 😉👊🏻👍🏻

[@christophegaffet628]

Merci pour cette vidéo. C'est très clair. 👍

[@analnyalpinista]

Great video!

[@soufianelatef6912]

Great video.. how many miles to change the belt ! Thank you.

[@markmaynard9400]

Thanks for the training. Do you have any explaining the controls and what they do? ESA ABS...

[@TheOldMechanic]

Good question, I will make a video about that 😉

[@markmaynard9400]

Awesome! Thank you so much. I just picked up a 2012 and I can't find any good videos on how to use all the controls and the modes.

[@bordsteinfräseTV]

great video

[@ALMIRBARROS-qf9yu]

Showwwwww Sem enrolação. 😊😊😊

[@yannstjacques422]

Merci pour tes videos

[@TheOldMechanic]

De rien

[@arronneighbors459]

Need to replace one of the bolts that hold on the plastic cover does anyone know what size those are

[@daveo9844]

Like the humour 😁 I’ve got a later model, but out of interest what is this belt running? Thanks

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Dave, its running the dynamo.

[@a.k1311]

Running the alternator!!

[@JJ20371]

Dont you must adjust the belt/altenator after replace the belt? On my 1100rt you can adjust the altenator. Is that not possible for the 1200?? Just put it on and rotate and then finish? Groetjes uit Rockanje

[@richardho5955]

Will the 4PK582 belt fit a 2007 R1200GS too?

[@smoll.miniatures]

Did your bike come with the foam behind the plastic cover? It’s terrible open cell foam that holds water and corrodes your gear case.

[@jerrykan546]

Salut Old Mechanic. Comme toi, je n'avais pas l'outil spécial BMW pour remettre la courroie. Et ce fût un massacre... En effet, la courroie "4PK 582 Continental" commandée sur internet (9€) était très très tendue et elle s'est déchiquetée après plusieurs tentatives infructueuses. J'ai dû racheter la même chez BMW (34€) et la faire installer par mon mécanicien qui avait l'outil adéquate. Mauvaise expérience pour moi car lorsque je lis les autres commentaires, cela n'a pas posé de problème... Je dois être un piètre mécanicien... 🤣🤣🤣 😉

Your videos are always interesting and useful. Thank you very much 🙏 P.S. what’s that ratchet called? I think I want to buy one…

[@fabiopunk1661]

Does the belt have a sense of rotation? Or it can be mounted either ways? Thanks

[@goraninox]

Can you kindly write down where have you bought the ratchet. Thanks for your great videos.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Goran, I quickly went to my shed to see which brand it is. Its PROXXON, but I can't remember where I bought it. 👍🤛🏍

[@goraninox]

@@TheOldMechanic thanks a lot. Best regards from Slovenia :)

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks mate, stay save 🤛👍🏍

[@peter6782]

Yet again you make the job simple no fiddling about! well done. just out of curiosity did you remove the spark plugs when doing this, or did you manage with then still in the bike ?

[@TheOldMechanic]

The sparkplugs are out, that makes the job more easy. Only 1 out on each side is enough 😉

[@Kradmelder24]

Very nice ratchet! Wich brand is it?

[@TheOldMechanic]

have a look: amzn.to/3n3M2ls

[@paullombard7289]

Still Not know with one to buy between Bmw and continental..🙊

[@少侠-t7f]

How often need to replace belt？ My r9t has 6000km .lot of noise from belt and alternator

[@TheOldMechanic]

I can't put a distance to it, but what you discribe I absolute replace it, because its very simple and not expencive. 😉

[@JirkaHGSA]

Should I remove the spark plugs?

[@afhostie]

Pulley belt instead of poly belt?

[@beartrax7709]

what brand is the ratchet , I want one ! I ride 2010 GS too.

[@goraninox]

The ratchet is proxxon rotary ratchet

[@TheOldMechanic]

Yes 👍

[@nathaniel-x1x]

Nice1

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks

[@gugacardoso9737]

why did you have the cylinders covered? Did you remove the spark plugs and forget to provide this information? lol

[@TheOldMechanic]

😂

[@mikescott9213]

What kind of rachet is that

[@alanmelham8475]

I was wondering the same thing myself. I’d like one of them 👍

[@mikescott9213]

Me too. I guess it's a secret :)

[@frankmonroy3224]

😂😂👍👍👍💯💯👍👍
