9:00 I've been purchasing BMW battery for my K every year. After a third one dying one me while I was standing on a red light, I've decided to try Odyssey Extreme. The unreliable battery problem is gone since then. It still works fine for over 5 years now. The next one will be Odyssey for sure. And thank you for a tip about the moisture - I didn't know about it until now!

[@bobbyblue1953]

I always lusted after one of those K1300 Beemers

[@H20-town610]

Example: Cool weather the steam from the exhaust for the first 10 min. is good showing of moisture being vapored out to exhaust.

[@danadiggins793]

I’ve been riding for over 50 years and didn’t know about moisture in the oil and ten mile minimum rides. By luck my rides were always long but I did start up my old shovel and evo during the winter back in the day. Thanks for the lesson! I knew car exhaust systems would rust out from short runs just didn’t connect the dots to oil.

[@bjontheba]

Thanks for the great info about shorting running our bikes.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

You bet!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Good Morning Kelly and Shawn. I always find your Tech Talk interesting. That K 1300S rides nice. Thanks for taking us along. Now we need some warm weather.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Good morning!

[@bundybear3333]

Great Vlog Mr Smoak and important words of wisdom on short runs and starting your motorcycle engines over without giving them a decent run to burn all the condensation out of the oil. That's what battery tenders are for to keep your battery charged at 100% . Mine is hooked up on my Sportglide 24/7 and gets put straight back on as soon as I finish my ride. Cheers, take care, ride safe. Keep well guys.👍🇦🇺😉

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

Glad I watched you’re channel I recall you mentioning not to start these up in the winter, so I installed trickle chargers on everything with an engine the three bikes and three cars are all plugged in all the time. Still on my same battery for a 3 year motorcycle.

[@gregrobinson87804Apple]

GUILTY! I bought a new Honda Fury in November. During the winter I would start it and let it idle in the garage every few weeks to keep the battery charged. I hope I didn't hurt it. I'm buying a trickle charger for Mother's Day. :) Thank you Shawn!! I wish I could buy your lunch!

[@scottstetson2879]

Hi Shawn, regarding the short running, it is funny to see used bike ads where folks say they are selling their low mileage bike that was started up once a week. Don’t know if you ever have seen these ads or not. Also, I used to live only two miles from work and needed to get a new muffler for my 1983 Toyota Supra which was due to the short running.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Lol, yeah I’ve seen those ads..! Makes me cringe and want to somehow warn potential buyers to RUN!!! 😂 I used to ride my ‘78 Honda XL250s to high school and work from my parents house, that was only 3 miles away. Those bikes had no type on vapor recovery system, so the small single cylinder engine cleared off fine, but the stock exhaust would rust-out in no time! I would install the good ‘ol Super-Trapp mufflers and would wonder why the disks were still dripping wet when I got to school..? Lol Thanks Scott!! 👍

[@chrismills4213]

Man oh man just love that tech advice...since watching your channel I always try to run the 9 to 10 miles...👍Just want to say thank you for the tech stuff, I have learned so much, especially about Spyder’s . 😊

[@jamesgruhn-n0dfi647]

Really enjoy the tech talks. The rain is supposed to be here Saturday into Sunday morning. I’ll have to check the miles to work if not 10 miles guess I’ll take the long route.😃

[@albertosbrolla8424]

Thanks for the detailed explanation on the moisture issue of the k1600, thanks for the test ride, see you tomorrow!👍

[@JamesSmith-ji6yx]

Thanks for the visuals of the moisture contaminated oil. It reinforces what you are talking about with the short runs not removing the moisture.

[@PeterSmith-or3pq]

Good job! . And the starter works . My bmw tender is a great way to make a battery last

[@robertotway1525]

Interesting tech talk about short running and a nice sunny test ride thanks shawn and kelly stay safe.😃👍

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks 👍

[@TJRohyans]

Don't know how I missed this one yesterday. I either didn't get a notification, or I accidentally deleted it when I was deleting emails. Glad I noticed it though. I had no idea I was doing harm to my Yammy engine like that. I often take less than 10 mile jaunts on my bike! I'm waiting on a starter relay for it right now though. Haven't ridden it for a week, and the weather is beautiful! Peace and love.

[@ronkelly255]

C-mon, send us some of that good spring weather, lol!!

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

On it!

[@1ststater611]

How much did that transmission job cost the bike owner? Are you saying to ride a minimum of 10 miles a day to prevent moisture build up? Thanks!

[@grumpieroldgits2001]

Beauiful weather! It's raining here in the UK. Love the vlogs, keep up the good work!

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thank you! Will do!

[@LawrenceBroussard]

Thanks for the rule of riding at least ten minutes. A good point in just needing gas.

[@FaithisKey792]

Great advice brother. Keep safe.

[@lpete531]

Awesome tech lesson, always enjoy your input. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

[@wombat1238marsupial]

Great video I just love my K1300s. Why they don't have self-cancelling indicators is a mystery. I would never buy a "Garage Queen" bike that has only been ridden short stops as your showing of the K1600 shows that oil is a mess.

[@specialed5098]

Loved the BMW day, be safe out there. Hi Kelly !!

[@fatguy8067]

Nice ride today, had to be warm with no jacket, funny the Harley's "Gloved" today. I've followed Your advice about NOT letting the bike run in the garage or shed in the winter without riding it, I didn't start the bike until I was able to go for my first ride. Unfortunately, because of time restraints I was only able to ride about 30 miles but that should be long enough. Thanks for suggestions & recommendations about out motorcycles Thanks for taking Us along for the ride.

[@valensinclair6750]

When you store your bike for the winter, seal/block off your exhaust and intake, especially in cold/wet environments.

[@markbarbernotz7904]

Love your videos, thanks for sharing your life with us!

[@ackie6490]

Ok Smoak! I am a newbie, no short runs but how about a 5 mile and a stop then another couple miles and stop so on and so on that day? 🤔

[@charlesspencer1200]

Great tech talk! I've said it before, you should become a teacher! I'd love to watch/listen to you do a clutch on an older GS.Be safe!

[@psycotria]

After seeing the K1300S, I said ti myself, "How could BMW sneak that one past me?" Turns out that I wasn't paying attention. The K1200S and K1300S HP have made me want to break my brand loyalty to Kawasaki. I am looking for a real nice one right now.

[@pistolpete6321]

Love tech talk, great video!

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks! 👍

[@checker3694]

Great video

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@russcoaus2043]

Hi u2 great vid thanks Shawn and Kelly nice tech talk🖤👍

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Our pleasure!

[@grayman999]

I have followed your advice too the letter I even have a 250 cc single for short runs air cooled single the GSX750F never ever does less then 10 miles before I will shut him down good advice 👍

[@thomaschadwick8379]

Whew! 10.1 miles each way to downtown Indy. Cut that one close. I typically try to keep the Vision around 2200 rpm on the ride in to warm the engine as much as possible (all year rider). Don't think I have much problem with the 2000 Yama RSD that I ride about 40% of the time.

[@adolfgerhardhermann5952]

Nice video, man! Keep up the good work! Halleluyah!

[@gustwowheeling7337]

Nice K1300S ride, beautiful motorcycle. What are your thoughts on the new 2021 BMW R18 cruiser? Can't wait for that test ride. Good stuff Smoaks!

[@joeh5059]

Hi Shawn and Kelly thank you Shawn on all that information you gave us about short rides and the damage it can cause. Joe H. TToledo,Ohio the First Toledo. Hahaha

[@fullmoon2614]

I see you have learned. Live to ride another day. You do tend to live a little longer. Lol. Our weather is really nice. Stay safe and R I D E !!!!!!!

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks Cedric, you too!

[@nativewear23]

Thanks for info i used to ride only 3 miles one way to work

[@deadheadlights]

I like my old Shovelhead. I get scared at 40 MPH, at 80 MPH i think im going to die haha. Slow and scary means i hopefully live longer.

[@AirohThird]

Can I use the bike in short rides during the week and do longer rides on the weekends? My friends told me to get a scooter but I really don't feel safe riding light motorcycles. I'm looking to get a K1300S as my first motorcycle for highway commute.

[@jameslewis5305]

Hi what year K1300S would buy? They get a bad reputation on the forums for stalling out when down shifting to stop. I’m looking at a 2013 but I’m afraid their all lemons. Your comments please.

[@markbrown8907]

Is your dealer backed up with K1600 recalls? I've been getting the run around from my dealer about mine. They wont schedule my bike yet, they just put me on the list and will let me know when they can do the work. Does recall work not pay very well?

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

The kits are coming really slow from BMW (they are VIN specific), so I can imagine our waiting list to get scheduled-in is quite long as well. Plus, as the job pays about 1/2 the actual time it takes to perform, it's a dealership wide money loser right at the beginning of peak season... Thanks Mark!

[@charlesemerson6763]

Had to laugh at the end shots, you in a shirt and Kelly rugged up like Nanook of the North.

[@jeffhennings6015]

very interesting video on the short run video I always said the same thing on this topic

[@eurocrusader1724]

Thanks for the tip , So I know that the F3s wont like short rides very much. I need(and want) to go test ride a Spyder soon but cant because my country is still in lockdown. I'm in doubt over a manual six speed vs auto. Coming off a bike , but due to a bad shoulder cant ride anymore , had a Honda Varadero before this. I heard people say the clutch on the manual is on the heavy side , is this true? Also what is this BS about motorcycle riders ignoring the Spyder riders? Not returning waves etc..

[@bayouboy8644]

Is this true for the RTs as well ??

[@pballzrican]

damn 3 years 2 kids later I'm happy i found your videos again lol. loved watching your vids as i was getting out the military, helped me cope with a lot of issues i was going through. subscribed this time. question, I'm faithful to my 17 road glide special, but reallyyyyy looking into getting a second bike. this time the 2020 ktm 1290 super duke gt. Have you ridden one? any opinions? Thanks brother take care

[@Walts-Travel]

I wanna go fast!!! I just want to go lol. 👊😎

[@juanvidal9940]

Hey I am a fan of the Chanel thank you. Wish I can are up to nature like you do. Anyways I have a 2012 k 1600 gt that I have a bad 4 ad 5 gear I believe is the dogs because ot works fine until you put load Anyways I live to get in it I am very mechanical inclined but I am afraid I will hit a wall on the especially tools can you tell me what is that special tool absolutely need to swap the transmission thank you for your help and good luck with the chanel.

[@GopherChoker.]

👍👋😎👍 woot!

[@duncanblanchard334]

I don’t understand what you mean when you say that you will loose money on the K1600 transmission job, do you get so many hours to do it and if it takes you longer you don’t get paid 🤔🤔. It’s clearly a highly technical job that can’t be rushed, so why would you get a time pressure put on you to get the job done, seems pretty unfair. Great tips on oil stuff 👍👍.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Unfortunately, flat rate pay has always been an auto & motorcycle thing... You can triple your pay one day, and half your pay the next. If your any good, you always come out on top, but there's always jobs like this mixed in... Thanks Duncan!

[@karlfontanari2169]

Great advise on the condensation and greatings from the UK from a UGS owner..

[@moph7July06]

So the K1600 recall had to do with moisture in the trans from not letting the motor run for 10miles? Weekend road warriors strike again! They are just huge garage decorations. 🤣🤪

[@12masterr]

So,how long is that typical test ride you take? I counted 7.3miles, so you are harming the customer bikes! Lol
