I don't know if they are the same but I drove my BMW K1100 almost 100,000 miles with play in the wheel. It never got worse and there was never any shavings or other signs of wear in the oil( which I changed every 5,000 miles). It had 158,000 miles on when it self-destructed. Awesome motorcycle!

I’m glad I’ve recently subscribed to this channel, I’m gaining so much knowledge! Thankyou!

[@TheOldMechanic]

your welcome 😉👍🏻👊🏻

Hallo Old Mechanic, ik bekijk met veel interesse dit filmpje, maar ik wil toch iets opmerken. Als er speling op het achterwiel wordt vastgesteld en als daarna de speling met achterrem erop nog aanwezig is zijn het niet de wiel/differentieellagers. Als er geremd wordt verdwijnt namelijk de eventueel aanwezige wiellager/differentieellager speling. Blijft deze speling dan aanwezig dan moet het gezocht worden in de telelever/achterste draagarmlagers.

Very informative and pleasant to watch! Looking forward to all the maintenance videos about the 1150GS. Thanks for sharing your years of knowledge!

[@TheOldMechanic]

More to come 😉

“They love loctite, they buy it in gallons” 😂😂 you’re amazing

[@TheOldMechanic]

👍🏻😂

[@jeunusdc4010]

Respectfully, Wouldnt the slack remaining when the rear brake is applied indicate the gearbox >final drive u-joints are the problem? And if it didnt rattle that would point to the rear wheel berings are shot?

[@Treileriveereetaja]

exactly, it looks that way

[@adelejones3746]

When you remove bolts, put them back in their holes whilst you work. Saves losing them or being confused what goes where. Ask me how I know that one.

[@patbastien]

Thank you so much for posting this series you have made me much more confident about doing this procedure on my bike now! Keep up the good work! Great attitude!

[@TheOldMechanic]

thanks,😉👍🏻👊🏻

Good afternoon! This video is excellent (from Brazil, my name is Claiton)

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hey, thanks!

[@mojah1]

Thank you for sharing your maintenance videos,I love to see how clean you work. I own r1250 gs (see on my channel) and I see many similarities between the 1150 and the 1250. I don’t have many miles on my bike because the winter in Canada is long. Cheers.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Cool, thanks

[@franciscoraats1394]

Hi Old Mechanic, my name is Francisco Rääts and I from Brasil, I've been watching your KZbin channel and became a subscriber, you really help with your videos. Where are you from? And where you live? Tanks for sharing all you know. Big hug

[@JamesPrice-cz7hw]

Can't help agreeing with jeunus DC. Wouldn't holding the brake on, lock the wheel with the housing. Any play would be at the pivot points.

[@ajcarr44]

Yes you're correct

[@albertbrouwer3403]

This is a job. Can’t wait to see the rest. Randy

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Randy, this is such a great job to do and to show to you all that its not as difficult as some people say it is. Its a lot of fun too.

[@randyburgos]

Well since I been watching you I been doing my own maintenance on the old gal. I take my time and do a clean job and the right way. I thank you for that. Randy

[@MrJamiedineen]

What size are the allens needed to remove the pivots?

[@davepoole-ci2uz]

Great video thanks 😊

[@TheOldMechanic]

Thanks for watching!

[@MyINNOVAMotorcycling]

Very interesting video, thanks for sharing, Great Channel! What about "blooper" warning at🤣👍🤦‍♂ 29:55... Blooper happens to all of us, but either we don't take a video or we take a video but we don't share it. My blooper: This week I spilled 250 cc of fine coolant on my floor.

[@TheOldMechanic]

😂👊🏻👍🏻

[@grottensantos4279]

I really like your videos... Could you please tell me how many kilometres that GS has?

[@TheOldMechanic]

I am not sure anymore, maybe I tell it in the other video's about this bike.

Is de hefbrug kapot,jammer dat gesleuteld op de knieën

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hoi Rien, hij is niet kapot, maar ik vind mijn hefbrug aan beetje wiebelig, vandaar dat ik hem eigenlijk niet zoveel gebruik. Misschien moet ik hem toch maar eens goed nakijken, want sommige draaipunten hebben wat speling. Ik moet ook wel eerlijk bekennen dat ik op mn knieen zitten eigenlijk helemaal niet erg vind. gr

I now own a 2015 BMW RT.
