BMW R1150 GS Suspension Service | Rebuilding the fork stanchion on an Oilhead BMW.
I repair my leaking suspension fork seals on my BMW R1150 GS, in my cheapest Oilhead BMW GS I could find on the internet series.
Backstory: I've bought it as a project motorcycle so that I could start adventure motorcycle riding and become an Adventure Bike Rider, bringing another element to this channel. I need to mention I bought it off the internet without seeing it for £2295 and this was the cheapest at the time and that's because It had no service history with it, so this is all a new experience and an exciting one at the same time.

As always, thanks for watching! Getting to the end of the maintenance bits now but the ancient wiring needs attention as it’s causing starting issues.
Really enjoying watching the work on the GS for no reason in particular... 😇

Same, and now that I’ve done it, it’ll be easier the next time 😄. Absolutely, it’ll be fun!
Electrical issues much less fun to fix, but I look forward to seeing how you deal with it in future videos 👍

The harness is an absolute state, I didn’t really delve deep before but now that I have, I can really see the toll time takes on a harness that’s constantly subjected to heat 😬. I’ve got a load of clear heat shrink, some new harness tape and I’ll be ordering some black heat shrink because of what I’ve noticed after taking a deeper look 😄

Hahaha I can imagine! Yes, I’ve been gathering some bits to start sorting the wires out but I genuinely just want to ignore them and hope all starts working because I want to ride it 😄
