BMW Service - R1100R - Rear Wheel removal

[@raybrensike42]

Some shops charge a ridiculous amount of money for this. I did go to one, just shopping for a new back tire, and they guy must have known I was frugal, so he said that he would mount and balance it for free if I bought the tire. He saw what I was riding (K1100LT) and I put it on it's center stand, took out the 4 wheel bolts, and they had the wheel. That easy. Simplicity often has value beyond what we are immediately aware of.

Indeed, Ray; indeed!

Hey Chris, I patented that bead breaker 20 years ago! Good to see you back.

[@ChrisR.Harris]

Your patent has expired, thank you.

[@JohnDoe-bf1fw]

These videos make working on my bike a lot more fun. Its good to see long hair is back in style.

[@ChrisR.Harris]

;)

Before my next tire change I plan on getting one of those bead breakers. I'm sure Beemer Boneyard will fix me right up. Maybe I'd be better off getting one from the local BMW shop......but I live near you and there is no local BMW shop. ...so Beemer Boneyard it is! Thanks Chris....It's good to finally see some repair footage. As the Dead sang, "What a long strange trip it's been!" Keep 'em coming!

[@ChrisR.Harris]

There will be more.

[@jcmartin868]

Love the east coast attitude but call out the tool sizes.

[@Logjam5]

Exolonto; keep them coming, you know we'll keep on watching Christopher. I haven't started up the bike yet; gota get a replacement plug shipped to me.

[@ChrisR.Harris]

Yell if you need my help.

Thanks, john!

[@wuommk]

Nice video bro... I have the same bike.. Grettings from. Italy 🇮🇹

[@nomaneme]

Cool! Do you know how many miles rear tire last on these BMW’s? I know is a very broad question because of the different tire compounds, driving styles, conditions, etc… but on average.

[@dokpar5018]

Can the GS1150R rim be mounted on a GS1200 Adv K51 motorbike? Is it the same size? Thank you

This is completely off the topic of tires, but those that are interested to replacing the heating element wire in the heated grips should read this: BMW Service - Heated Grip Repair by Chris Harris kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHO7Y6SNfct7fsU To replace the heating element wire completely: Use Nichrome 80 26 Gauge AWG Round Wire 25ft Roll .40mm , 2.657 Ohms/ft Resistance Here is why: Total Length of Heating Wire = 44.8 inches. Total Resistance = 8.5 ohms (measure from end of lead wires) Ohms per Foot of Heating Wire = 8.5 ohms * 12 / 43.8 inches = 2.329 Ohms per foot. Note: Use Ohm meter to get the exact length to get 8.5 ohms Assuming a battery voltage of 13V: I = 13V / 8.5 ohms = 1.529 Amps. Power = 13V * 1.529 A = 19.882 Watts. Both grips in parallel would drain: 2 * 1.529 Amps = 3.058 Amps. If you see anything wrong, let me know

[@therwfer]

Ha! That's clever as fuck. Being blessed with a tire changing machine, I would've never thought of that. But there's always next trip to Morocco, so thanks!

[@ChrisR.Harris]

Much less expensive than the tire machine which does not work without air or electricity unlike my new cave man model ;)

[@BlessedNoob]

Where is the next video?

[@ChrisR.Harris]

These things take time but it has been filmed!

[@connercunningham5302]
