Great video as always. P s. I use a silicone spray after cleaning the chain guard or the primary sprocket cover on the inside. It helps stop the dirt from sticking quite as bad and helps next time you clean them off. I use silicone spray on a cloth on wheel rims too. Helps remove the next dirt easier when u wash the bike down..then I reapply a fresh layer with a cloth.

I just bought this same bike. 2017 f800gs. Took it on a four dayer with plenty of dirt. Chain looked iffy beforehand and sure enough it stretched significantly during the trip. Toast at 14k miles. This video was perfect, thank you. Many good tips. 116 links on this DID chain?

Lots and lots of tips, I took this one: 16:30 Excellent and recommended chain video series, thank you very much👍💕👍

Great video, very helpful to me. Following your video's I replaced my sprockets and chain with no problems. Changing them made a big difference in the ride of the bike, much quieter and smoother. Thank you for the help and great video!

Awesome video. Very well explained Thank you

@TheOldMechanic What you think, why not use endless chain at this bike? What is your opinion reflected on this bike model, cause the "Schwinge" atachement is very easy or i`m wrong? Nice helpful content by the way, it helps a lot!

Thumbs up done, am following about this.

Hi! The old mechanic! I have a question When the rear crown measures 8.5, the same torque of 10Nm is applied and then the 90 degrees thank you

Please, tell me your opinion for BMW R1200R 2011. Thanks for ALL SUPERB VIDEOS.

Hi Krste, the R1200R has the same engine as I do, among a lot of other parts. When its good maintained its a very good engine. Because of the oil I use the oil consumption is barely zero..! We are just home from a 3000km trip, with a lot of toll roads doing 130 km/h. I checked the oil level and its at the same as when we left. I am planning making a video about it 😉👍🏻👊🏻🏍

Hey Old Mechanic, goeie video weer! Mijn F800 is er binnenkort ook aan toe. Als ik het goed begreep was het uiteindelijke moment 88Nm (uiteraard hou ik de 90 graden van BMW aan 😉) maar voor welke bout maat is dit? Als ik op kettingsets zoek zie ik in het achterste ketting wiel twee verschillende voorbij komen m12 & m10. In ieder geval bedankt voor alle video's!

I thimk you mean M8 AND M10. The use of M8 was discontinued in 2010.

Could you still ride the bike if one pin of the chain has been grind off? Thanks

Ich bitte um Rat > Ich hab auch eine BMW F800GS TROPHY, die vollkommen gleiche Maschine wie in Ihrem sehr geschätzten Video. Ich bin technisch geschickt, dennoch stosse ich jetzt an meine Grenzen > Das Originale hintere BMW Federbein wird demnächst wegen einer gesamten Tieferlegung meines Motorrads um -30mm durch ein Wilbers WESA Federbein ersetzt. Beim Ausbau des Originalen BMW Federbein fand ich vollkommen unerwartet ein vollkommen frisches und vollkommen sauberes von irgendwo ausgetretenes Öl in der unteren Pfanne vor, dort wo das Federbein mit 100 Nm angeschraubt wird. Dieses Öl kam nicht von der Bremsflüssigkeit, denn die Bremsflüssigkeits-Leitungen sind dicht und der sichtbare hintere Bremsflüssigkeitsbehälter ist vollgefüllt mit Bremsflüssigkeit. Da ich demnächst das Wilbers WESA Federbein einbauen möchte, so beunruhigt mich diese offene Frage, denn ich wüsste nicht von wo sonst noch - ausser von dem Originalen BMW Federbein - dieses frische und ungebrauchte Öl ausgetreten sein könnte. Wichtig ist noch zu bemerken, dass ich mich kurz vor dem Ausbau des Originalen BMW Federbeins mit meinen 103 kg Körpergewicht auf mein Motorrad setzte und sehr intensiv und kraftvoll wippte, um festzustellen, ob ich mir vielleicht doch noch durch den Zuwachs meines Körpergewichts von 20kg die Tieferlegung ersparen könnte. Kann es sein, dass durch diese intensiven Belastungs- und Entlastungszyklen des hinteren Originalen BMW Federbeins Öl ausgetreten sein könnte, denn nach dem Ausbau war dieses Federbein etwas ölig. Darf ich Sie um Ihre geschätzte Einschätzung bitten, von wo sonst dieses Öl ausgetreten sein könnte. Herzlichen Dank im Voraus! LG

Hey. You don't put grease on the new chain?
