Leuke video, leerzaam, goed gedaan hoor, ik ga vandaag ook voor het eerst mijn sparkplugs verwisselen voor mijn 2017 GSA. Groetjes vanuit Iowa, USA

Hi, enjoyed your videos very helpfully. I have a BMW r 1200 gs 2018 can you recommend a manual for this bike.

[@a.c.e.7568]

5:11 although NGK recommends against using any anti-seize on their spark plugs (as stated on their web site), I ignore their recommensdations with over 55 years of maintenance and repairs to my vehicles. I just place a flash coating on it using an artists paint brush instead of using the coarse bristle brush in the cap and I do not put gobs on either. According to the Bosch spark plug manual, they also reduce torques by 30% when using any coating on the threads. As for your Bel Ray Assembly Lube, is it listed for use on spark plugs? I use Permatex Anti-Seize, the silver (zinc) colored paste.

Assuming this is your own motorcycle how often do you replace the plugs?

[@DanyFox1986]

Official BMW maintenance plan says to inspect and clean every 10k and replace every 20k Km.

Please be aware that applying lube to screw threads then torqueing to the original value can lead to over tightening and damaged threads.

[@booshallmighty]

Bollox. 12nm is nothing. I doubts that would even damage the the threads if the plugs were made from plastic. Also clue is in the title, old mechanic. Been doning this a while. Where is your video, and why are you here?

It isn’t necessary to take off the crash bars

Czegoś takiego jak żyje nie widziałem, żeby ktoś smarował gwint na świecy ! Po co ? Silikon działa szkodliwie na gumowe uszczelki ‚, wynik badań lab. Wurth’’ Niestety ten filmik może jest fajnie zrobiony ale działa szkodliwie bo przekazuje błędne informacje niezgodne z obsługą danego motocykla.
