Well there you go! Did all my own oil & filter changes on my '92 R-80 and I never knew that. Still ran sweetly when I sold it after 18 years. Must have dodged that bullet. But then again, mine took just one long filter, and I don't recall it having any shims to complicate things, so maybe I had a slightly different model.

Happy you got away safely. Are you sad that you sold it? Probably not since you know what a hassle a simple oil filter change can be 😅 No, in all seriousness…is it a bike you’d still like to have?

Yeah, true. I think that number is from the 80s.

You are 💯 correct but I can assure you thar its always 1 shim. Besides this the seal will last many many oil changes, like the sump washer

Hi Joshua, first of all thank you for your video's, I learned a lot from them! Do you, or the other followers of your channel know a webshop in Europe to orders the two JRready Connector Kits which you recommend in your video?

Hi, thanks a lot. I'm happy to hear that. You can get the JRready kits on Amazon (at least in Germany). Here's the link to the DT kit: amzn.to/496YmoC Which bike are you working on? If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Cheers, Joshua

@@MotoWrenchers Thanks for your link, but the kit comes with a different crimper than the one you use in your videos... I think I'll have to order a separate crimper, do I have to pay attention to a certain type? I'm working on a '92 R100R.

@MotoWrenchers 2 ай бұрын

Good that you payed attention to that. I completely missed that. Here are the right kits: DT - amzn.to/40ZHWMr & DTM - amzn.to/3ZgErAa This is the link to their Amazon Shop (DE): amzn.to/4i5m7Bx Their assortment is kind of limited (at Amazon.de at least)...they only have each kit with the crimp pliers if I saw that correctly. In my opinion it's fine to just use the DT series. That covers most applications and keeps the cost down. I hope that helps. Which way are you taking your R100R?

are you absolutely certain that the gap is indeed 2.925mm and not 2.924mm ? seems like you should rather use a micrometer (or two) before taking any irreversible step here...

Fill the oil filters before installing! 🙌. If you don't, there is a moment of oil starvation the next time you start it up.

Thanks, that’s a great tip. I’ll do that!

@andrewallen9993 2 ай бұрын

And how do you do that on one of these airhead engines on wise one as they are cartridge filters so oil poured in at the top will simply leak out of the bottom?

@Jimb0b1111 2 ай бұрын

@@MotoWrenchers You should always crank these engines over with the valve covers off and make sure oil is getting to the rockers after changing the oil filter. It may take some time to flow at first, so crank, stop, crank, stop until it starts showing. This soaks and fills the filter anyway. Also remove the green wire from the coil before doing this to protect the electrical system. It should come out like a slightly opened water tap when cranking over, no oil or less than that and you need to recheck it is installed correctly and not causing pressure loss.

I've seen this method before. Thanks for the description, I appreciate it.

@Zgurkogel Ай бұрын

@@Jimb0b1111Just remove the spark plugs after doing an oil change. This removes any load on the crank and big end bearing shells when cranking for oil pressure. Little trick I learnt from an experienced bike mechanic.

1:31 "An oil-filter change is relatively straight foreward" you claim. Well, I emphasize: it is NOT when the engine is in the frame and have an oil cooler. Your model in the video has none, and it is on the table. The R100RS models with oil cooler AND oil temprature regulator (quite a block) have a 40 mm exhaust which forces the oil-flter to be a two part because the frame is just in the way. The 3 M6 bolts are extremely hard to reach, no electrical tool can be fitted when the engine is in the frame, just flat spanners. No depth measurement is possible: exhaust and frame are in the way. Besides that the two hard lines to and from the oilcooler have to come loose, they have copper oil seal rings and must be torqued to spec after dismounting. You are informed. The video is a bit misleading. A video with only a block on the table, that works easy. Make a second video please where you do the same job on an R100RS oilcooler version, with the block in the motorcycle. Then you are in business.
