Thanks for this, it seems things haven't changed since my old F650 Funduro (also part Italian design). Your video persuaded me to buy an SV650!!

I was thinking about buying a xcountry, but looking at this I'm having doubts if I can handle the maintenance. When even a simple oil change takes that much work and know how, I don't want to know how much it takes if something really breaks. I'm a bad mechanic so I guess I will stick with my bicyles, at least they don't need an oil change btw. thank you for those videos

This was one of the funniest videos you made. GREAT job as always. Great job. Randy

@@TheOldMechanic That’s the problem today. People are too sensitive. I say if they are that sensitive go home and hide. Hahahah. I Love the video my friend. It was funny and very informative. Thank you. Randy

I love the authentic moments💖 It happens in all garages. Most mechanics don't like to be looked at. But the truth is that a good mechanic should not be ashamed at all. This section: 18:58 After editing, it turned out really funny. You do a great job, you have a wonderful channel, and again thank you very much for sharing!!!

Hi , are you sure we need to screw the oil tap to check the level or not ? Difference can be 1cm and risk of extra oil .

Good morning old mechanic, my name is Lucio, I live in Italy, precisely in Friuli Venezia Giulia. I recently purchased a BMW G650X Country motorcycle (no ABS). The motorbike is from the year 2007, and has 16,000 kilometers under its belt. I am the second owner, when I brought it home, I replaced the tires, the brake fluid, the air filter, the engine oil with synthetic Motul 7100 15W50 (as described in the manual), and the air filter. 'oil, and the two spark plugs, with two equivalent to iridium. The thing that bothers me the most is the hardness of the clutch lever, and I'm always afraid that the rope might break. Is there a way to put a hydraulic clutch? Thank you very much for your response, and I congratulate you for the very useful videos. Best regards, Lucio Lorettu.

Hi. What is the make and model of ratchet you use in the beginning. It has a shaft running unside the handle so you rotate the end cap. Brilliant tool. Im trying to locate one. Great videos.

Dag oude mekanieker, interessante videos! Hoe is de XCountry op de snelweg? Veel trillingen van de motor bij die snelheden?

What type of oil filter do I use for my x country

Buongiorno vecchio meccanico, io mi chiamo Lucio, vivo in Italia, precisamente in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Da poco ho acquistato una moto BMW G650X Country (no ABS). La moto è dell'anno 2007, ed ha all'attivo 16000 chilometri. io sono il secondo proprietario, quando la ho portata a casa, ho sostituito gli pneumatici, il liquido dei freni, il filtro dell'aria, l'olio motore con del Motul sintetico 7100 15W50 (come descritto nel libretto), ed il filtro dell'olio, e le due candele, con due equivalenti all'iridio. La cosa che più mi infastidisce, è la durezza della leva della frizione, ed ho sempre paura che la corda possa rompersi. Esiste il modo di mettere una frizione idraulica? La ringrazio molto per la sua risposta, e le faccio i miei coplimenti per gli utilissimi video. migliori Saluti, Lucio Lorettu.

nice job. I have a black dipstick on my 850GS and I find it difficult to read, why they can't make the dipstick out of metal or even another colour like my wife's civic which is orange, so much easier.

Absolute right ! This dipstick has a tiny mark and that should be the oil level. While other bikes have a simple min / max mark 😉

nice videos as usual..a question for full topup was it 1.7L & 0.6L or more? thank you

Hi Waliid, I always fill bikes up to the right level, as whats in the manual. For me the 2.3 liter is just a guideline. I don't know if I putted some more oil in 😉

Añade solo 1,7 y 0,6 después, aunque compruebes el nivel y lo veas bajo no pasa nada, no te preocupes. Da una vuelta de unos 10 km y comprueba el nivel, y verás como es correcto. La gente comete el error de añadir más de 0,6 la segunda vez porque le marca nivel bajo y añaden más y más. Cuando dan una vuelta con su moto y comprueban ven que el nivel está muy por encima de la marca

hello, good morning, I am writing to you from Bogotá, Colombia, I have a BMW G650X and the cluster broke, I need one to repair my motorcycle, could you help me locate one and I can buy it for you? Thank you for the information, have a nice day.

tks
