Terve! If you look through my video series, you’ll see the problems that these bikes encounter over time. There’s a few more, but my videos cover most of the issues. Also, most issues are quite easy to fix, some take more time and/or money, but it’s a very grateful bike to keep in good condition. In general, I’d look at how well the bike has been kept. Look for broken parts, scuffed parts, corrosion, non-standard parts, etc. If the bike is well kept, it’s probably a good buy. Good luck and feel free to ask more questions if you have any! Vauhtia!

@@alexarsot Hi Alex! Thanks for the kind words. I would highly recommend that you get the Haynes Manual for the F800GS. It’s a pretty decent manual (some of them can be a bit useless, but this one is good). Alternatively, you can get the BMW Workshop Manual, but I don’t know of a legit way of acquiring that one, so you might have to figure that one out by yourself. 😉 I do think the Haynes Manual is a great investment if you want to do your own servicing. Sorry I can’t be of much more help! Good luck and thanks again!

@@moto8808 You will get lumpy running especially at low rpms. And more noise, as I said. The mechanical issue is that the cams will change their timing depending on whether the engine is accelerating or deceleration as the crank will put tension on different sides of the chain. I have no idea whether the chain tensioner can work against this or not, or how much it is able to supply tension. It’s not an adjuster, it just takes the tension off, and if the chain is worn, there’s a large chance that the tensioner is out of range to provide enough tension. However, I think a lumpy low rpm range (<1500 - 2000rpm) is a sign of that the cams are slightly out of phase. Good luck!

How long did it take (start to finish) to install the new cam chain with master link ?
@JockeSelin2 ай бұрын
I can’t really say, not only is it a very long time ago, but the service on this particular bike was done over several weeks and several parts were serviced. If we don’t count removing the panels and all that, then I think you could do it in one day, but it all depends on how detailed you want to be. I tend to double and triple check everything, so it takes a lot longer. Removing the cams and all that isn’t a time consuming job, but putting them back carefully can be. The act of actually pulling the chain through could be very quick if you’ve got a friend or two to help (one to spin the wheel and one each to hold each end of the chain). Similar thing with the panels, if you’ve removed the panels and the air box several times, then you’ll do it quite quickly, if it’s the first time and you want to double check everything, then it’ll take longer. I’m also assuming you’d like to check the valve clearances before closing it all up. So all in all, with dedication and all the tools and spares handy, you should be able to roll the bike in to a garage on a Saturday morning and roll it back out with a new cam chain on Sunday evening, and that’s with not being too hasty, but still keeping tabs of everything and doing a good job. Sorry I can’t be more precise. Good luck!

Thanks for the video. I have a 2015 F 800R with 19k km (12k miles) on the clock, and it sounds really rough when the engine gets warm. Had the valve clearances checked recently, but the rattling noise keeps getting worse. Now it started idling roughly when hot and a warning light came on. Tensioner seems fine to me but I guess I'll go ahead and change the chain along with everything else. Definitely wouldn't have expected it to wear out with such low mileage and regular oil changes etc. But after seeing how the old chain sags in this video, it looks exactly what my bike sounds like. There's something inherently wrong with the design or quality control if this happens at 19000km lol.
@JockeSelin3 ай бұрын
Apologies for the late reply! Did you check the chain's tension when you had the valve clearances checked? I would have guessed that a bad cam chain would have revealed itself at this point? You should definitely check it before replacing it, at least so you know you're fixing an actual problem. 12k miles seems a bit low for this problem to surface. And I agree with that there's something wrong; in the pursuit for lightness they seem to have skimped a bit too much on the cam chain size. Apart from taking a lot of time and being a bit nerve-racking the process isn't too complicated. Good luck and thanks for the comment. 😎👍🏻

@@JockeSelin update: Tensioner didn't make any difference. Took the bike to a shop for diagnostics, and got a call from them yesterday. They said that the issue is the radiator fan. The fan motor has somehow seized, causing it to draw excessive current when the ecu is trying in vein to run it, which means that other electric components don't get enough power. This results in poor injection/ignition, causing the bike to run poorly and thus the chain rattles because it's not running smoothly. Never would've suspected such an issue. New fan should arrive next week, still a little sceptical about the whole thing but we'll see after I get it back.
@JockeSelin2 ай бұрын
@@macgarymusic Thanks for the update, I sure appreciate it and I'm sure the community does too. I've heard of the fans seizing before, in fact my friend's one did. However, I would have thought that the ECU would simply have disabled it if it draws too much power. Having said that, the F800 electrical system is know for requiring a healthy amount of power. A bad battery won't allow the bike to run at all. On Caz's bike we suspected the faulty fuel pump drew too much power and thus the ECU disabled the heated grips. Healthy angry pixies is a must for this bike. Also, a diagnostics tool, such as the GS-911 will not only allow you to read the fault codes, it also allows you to cycle all sort of electrical features on and off, such as the fan. Yes, you can click a check-box in the UI and turn the fan on. Much easier than running the bike hot to see if the fan starts. Anyway, I hope the new fan cures your problems and that you'll be out tearing up the tarmac and gravel roads in no time! 🤟🏻😎🤘🏻

I am very glad you’ve enjoyed the videos, and even more so, I’m pleased that my “message” is getting across. My aim is to show that people can do more than they think they can. As a young lad in Tammisaari, I was often told that things were too difficult to do, in all sorts of subjects. Today I despise all of those people who told me those things. Imagine what could have been achieved with motivation and support. Instead I was faced with negativity and resistance. This is why I spend hours and hours of filming and editing these videos, so that anyone can see that things can be done and there’s nothing wrong in trying and failing. It’s also very cool you have an F800GS! We think those bikes are very underrated. They’re not perfect, but they’re grateful to work on. Vauhtia! Vauhtia! Thanks again! 💪🏻😎🤘🏻

If you want to fully rebuild the F800GS forks, I’d recommend reading the Haynes or BMW workshop manual - or if there’s a video. To change the oil or springs, you don’t need to go any further than the video. Sorry I can’t be more specific.

Yeah, spot on. These are very temporary wires including the connectors. Whenever I get to do the real wiring, I’ll make sure that there’s no possibility of shorting. Keep in mind that there’s only power in the wire when operating the winch. I’m considering changing the rope for wire. Initially I wanted the rope for lower weight and flexibility, but in hindsight I think wire would be better as we only need some 3-4 metres and wire is thinner (for ~2000kg) and most importantly it’s UV resistant. Thinner wire would mean it would spool better. We will see where we end up. One step at a time. Thanks for your comment. 😎👍🏻

Hello! Greatings from Finland!(I´m about to by a used F800 GS from 2010 with 75000 km on the klock. Is there something I should be looking out for? Great video by the way.
Terve! If you look through my video series, you’ll see the problems that these bikes encounter over time. There’s a few more, but my videos cover most of the issues. Also, most issues are quite easy to fix, some take more time and/or money, but it’s a very grateful bike to keep in good condition. In general, I’d look at how well the bike has been kept. Look for broken parts, scuffed parts, corrosion, non-standard parts, etc. If the bike is well kept, it’s probably a good buy. Good luck and feel free to ask more questions if you have any! Vauhtia!
hi jocke..I have seen some of your videos, great info about the F800 GS....I just got a used f800 GS 2012....60k miles on the engine. here is my question...I noted a water swept between the cylinder and the top end.. I am thinking of removed the topend and replace the gasket...do you know the torque specs for the cylinder head bolts ??...and any other info that I may need thanks a lot for your time !!!
@@alexarsot Hi Alex! Thanks for the kind words. I would highly recommend that you get the Haynes Manual for the F800GS. It’s a pretty decent manual (some of them can be a bit useless, but this one is good). Alternatively, you can get the BMW Workshop Manual, but I don’t know of a legit way of acquiring that one, so you might have to figure that one out by yourself. 😉 I do think the Haynes Manual is a great investment if you want to do your own servicing. Sorry I can’t be of much more help! Good luck and thanks again!

Какие симптомы были перед тем как решили поменять цепь?.
@@moto8808 Utifrån så är det inte många symptom förutom extra oljud, men om man öppnar motorn och granskar kedjan så ser man det klart om kedjan är sträckt.
С наружи то понятно..) Стучит двигатель (f800s), иногда глохнет, потерял в мощности.. Вот и пытаюсь понять.. Цепь да провисает.. Спасибо..)
@@moto8808 You will get lumpy running especially at low rpms. And more noise, as I said. The mechanical issue is that the cams will change their timing depending on whether the engine is accelerating or deceleration as the crank will put tension on different sides of the chain. I have no idea whether the chain tensioner can work against this or not, or how much it is able to supply tension. It’s not an adjuster, it just takes the tension off, and if the chain is worn, there’s a large chance that the tensioner is out of range to provide enough tension. However, I think a lumpy low rpm range (<1500 - 2000rpm) is a sign of that the cams are slightly out of phase. Good luck!
@@JockeSelinда, согласен.. Спасибо.. Стук вероятно издаёт сама цепь об верхний успокоитель в момент распремления..
Just replacing the bearings on my 2010 F800GS. Indeed using a heatgun and a few taps and the bearing races fell out. Thanks very much!
You’re very welcome! Glad it worked! 🤟🏻😎👍🏻
Good video, where have you found the master link (for connection the chain)? Does the Bmw dealer have them? And if so, do you know a partnumber?
Thanks! I’ve answered this question many times, and the short answer is no, the link to the link has expired. I also keep asking people to post links to where they have found the links, but that doesn’t really seem to happen very often. Sorry I can’t be much more of a help.

Great video, as always. The nut and bolt on top of the reservoir. Is it purely construction, or does that undo to allow inspection of the gunk collection in the reservoir?
Sorry, but without watching the video, or crawling under the truck, or travelling back in time, I can’t answer for sure, but a very qualified guess is that no, it’s. Of for inspection. You’re probably better draining the hubs and putting new oil in. They’d probably like that anyway. Sorry for the vague answer.
How long did it take (start to finish) to install the new cam chain with master link ?
I can’t really say, not only is it a very long time ago, but the service on this particular bike was done over several weeks and several parts were serviced. If we don’t count removing the panels and all that, then I think you could do it in one day, but it all depends on how detailed you want to be. I tend to double and triple check everything, so it takes a lot longer. Removing the cams and all that isn’t a time consuming job, but putting them back carefully can be. The act of actually pulling the chain through could be very quick if you’ve got a friend or two to help (one to spin the wheel and one each to hold each end of the chain). Similar thing with the panels, if you’ve removed the panels and the air box several times, then you’ll do it quite quickly, if it’s the first time and you want to double check everything, then it’ll take longer. I’m also assuming you’d like to check the valve clearances before closing it all up. So all in all, with dedication and all the tools and spares handy, you should be able to roll the bike in to a garage on a Saturday morning and roll it back out with a new cam chain on Sunday evening, and that’s with not being too hasty, but still keeping tabs of everything and doing a good job. Sorry I can’t be more precise. Good luck!
Very nice 😊
Thank you! 😊👍🏻
Thanks for the video. I have a 2015 F 800R with 19k km (12k miles) on the clock, and it sounds really rough when the engine gets warm. Had the valve clearances checked recently, but the rattling noise keeps getting worse. Now it started idling roughly when hot and a warning light came on. Tensioner seems fine to me but I guess I'll go ahead and change the chain along with everything else. Definitely wouldn't have expected it to wear out with such low mileage and regular oil changes etc. But after seeing how the old chain sags in this video, it looks exactly what my bike sounds like. There's something inherently wrong with the design or quality control if this happens at 19000km lol.
Apologies for the late reply! Did you check the chain's tension when you had the valve clearances checked? I would have guessed that a bad cam chain would have revealed itself at this point? You should definitely check it before replacing it, at least so you know you're fixing an actual problem. 12k miles seems a bit low for this problem to surface. And I agree with that there's something wrong; in the pursuit for lightness they seem to have skimped a bit too much on the cam chain size. Apart from taking a lot of time and being a bit nerve-racking the process isn't too complicated. Good luck and thanks for the comment. 😎👍🏻
@@JockeSelin Unfortunately I took the bike to a shop for the valve clearances, so I wasn't there when they had the cover off. They didn't mention anything about the chain though, but I can't be sure whether they really looked at it properly. I ordered a new tensioner which should arrive tomorrow, see if that helps. Thought about going for the manual tensioner but decided to give the OEM one a chance. Just gotta hope that this year the Finnish summer lasts for a bit longer than the usual 2 weeks so I'll have some time with the bike outside the garage 😅
@@macgarymusic Let's hope the new tensioner cures the rough sound. These engines do rattle a bit at start up and when the engine oil is warm, so it might not be anything too bad. It would be a shame if you had to miss on the wonderful summer riding due to bike repairs/maintenance. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻🙂🤞🏻
@@JockeSelin update: Tensioner didn't make any difference. Took the bike to a shop for diagnostics, and got a call from them yesterday. They said that the issue is the radiator fan. The fan motor has somehow seized, causing it to draw excessive current when the ecu is trying in vein to run it, which means that other electric components don't get enough power. This results in poor injection/ignition, causing the bike to run poorly and thus the chain rattles because it's not running smoothly. Never would've suspected such an issue. New fan should arrive next week, still a little sceptical about the whole thing but we'll see after I get it back.
@@macgarymusic Thanks for the update, I sure appreciate it and I'm sure the community does too. I've heard of the fans seizing before, in fact my friend's one did. However, I would have thought that the ECU would simply have disabled it if it draws too much power. Having said that, the F800 electrical system is know for requiring a healthy amount of power. A bad battery won't allow the bike to run at all. On Caz's bike we suspected the faulty fuel pump drew too much power and thus the ECU disabled the heated grips. Healthy angry pixies is a must for this bike. Also, a diagnostics tool, such as the GS-911 will not only allow you to read the fault codes, it also allows you to cycle all sort of electrical features on and off, such as the fan. Yes, you can click a check-box in the UI and turn the fan on. Much easier than running the bike hot to see if the fan starts. Anyway, I hope the new fan cures your problems and that you'll be out tearing up the tarmac and gravel roads in no time! 🤟🏻😎🤘🏻

Good day. is this the original chain? where to order a connecting pin?
"The original chain"? Was it installed in the factory? I don't know, I don't know the history of the bike, but I would guess it was the original chain. Or do you mean if it was a BMW chain we purchased to replace the stretched one? Yes, it was ordered from BMW. As for the link, this has been answered many times in the comments, but is also listed in the description. However, I believe the company doesn't exist anymore so the link is outdated. Good day.

I`m totally hooked about your videos. Actually i`ve watched them all.(Not at once) I`ve enjoyed every inch of the videotrip to follow a guy and his better half starting bravely making, mistaking, learning, doing once again and successing without professional experience, but making professional results. I`ve learned a lot of your attitude thru the years. Btw...Finnish rock band called Hurriganes have made a song about rack. It is in their album named Fortissimo and the song is "Oh Rack" The words aren`t quite there, but anyway... I`m also the proudish owner of 2009 F800GS. Same colour as yours. I pick it from Belfast to Finn-landia 2013. I wish all the best for both of you and keep up good work with your projects. Greetings from Finland!
Terve Markku! Kiitos erittäin ystävällisistä sanoista! Hurricanes is one of my favourite Finnish bands, along with Hanoi Rocks, sadly I can’t remember “Oh Rack”, so I’ll have to go listen to Fortissimo again! I am very glad you’ve enjoyed the videos, and even more so, I’m pleased that my “message” is getting across. My aim is to show that people can do more than they think they can. As a young lad in Tammisaari, I was often told that things were too difficult to do, in all sorts of subjects. Today I despise all of those people who told me those things. Imagine what could have been achieved with motivation and support. Instead I was faced with negativity and resistance. This is why I spend hours and hours of filming and editing these videos, so that anyone can see that things can be done and there’s nothing wrong in trying and failing. It’s also very cool you have an F800GS! We think those bikes are very underrated. They’re not perfect, but they’re grateful to work on. Vauhtia! Vauhtia! Thanks again! 💪🏻😎🤘🏻
Hey So i think its the stator but im not sure It doesnt load the batterie i changed the Batterie but problem re appeared
Hey! I don’t really know how to answer this. Ummm… so, ummmm, in the workshop manuals, I think there’s a way to test the stator, but I’m not 100% sure as I’ve never had to do it. I know the rectifier can break, but it’s a far less common issue. If you don’t mind spending the money, then putting in a new stator is a good investment for reliability. Hope it works out!
@@JockeSelin yeah im gonna Check the plugs and If Problem remains im gonna get a new strator and Voltage regulator Its 180€
@@Joksa999 Checking the plugs is cheap but tedious - the air box is not simple to take off. However, I would get the stator first, and if it still is not fixed, then the regulator. Also, try searching for the BMW workshop manual and/or buy the Haynes Manual, it might explain how to test the stator and/or the regulator/rectifier. Good luck!
@@JockeSelin i checked the strator cable it was a pain to get the plug Out and Check it If i checked it correctly its either the strator or the plug but the Plug Looks good in my opinion im gonna give a Update in a week or so

Hey - congratulations!!! But pleeeeeeease: Do not this "civil - Bling Bling" with silver rims and "no military-style" by "we don't need a "MG-Schützenluke"". The color and all the details are great for hidden camping und visit/overnighting at "not really legal" spots. But, hey - it's your baby and you can do what you want in style and technix.
I know what you mean, and I agree with you, this truck will not be Bling Bling, however, at the same time it can’t look like a service vehicle. We are hoping to travel to places where military/police/fire vehicles might not be seen as a friendly thing, so we need to make it look like a civilian vehicle, but at the same time, it can’t stand out when parked in the forest. We want to be as incognito as possible when needed. I’m sure you understand! 😎👍🏻
O.k., the beginning is some years ago. Anyway, best wishes and a lot of great moments with yor Uni(versal)Mo(tor)G(erät). You find the travellers Unicorn....äähm MOG. In 1998 I rode this car in the German army for some months. It's a good choice an with the fast axles and the shelter from the ambulance-car you are prepared for long and "fast" travelling at 90km/h with a little bit lower rpm. Take care about the "Zylinderkopfdichtung" (cylinder-head - gasket??). That was the only problem at a "yourney" from the middle of Germany to the baltic Sea (@ 80km/h by German Autobahn) to do some excercises at the coast. In slow and curvy backcoutry-roads he's a good choice. In offroad-sections he is awesome car that will bring you freedom.
Hey, glad to have you along! Wunderbar! Yes, the Unimog is a wonderful vehicle, not fast, but very capable. Luckily we are not in a rush. Maybe in the future we’ll prioritise upgrading the drivetrain. Modern turbo, intercooler, fuel pump upgrades and faster drivetrain. Overdrive would be lovely, but it’s very expensive. There’s still a huge amount of building to do before we need to worry about the speed. 😂👍🏻 Willkommen an Bord!

Hi, very informative video and thank you for your time making it. I have a question around 5:39, what do you mean by not extending the forks otherwise they will pop out? is it really that difficult to rebuild it??
I’ve not taken the F800GS fork legs out completely and I can’t recall the procedure in the manual, but usually fork rebuilds require some special tools. If you have the tools it’s not difficult. Sometimes just tedious and messy. Tools can be clamps, holders, extra long sockets, seal guides and such. If you want to fully rebuild the F800GS forks, I’d recommend reading the Haynes or BMW workshop manual - or if there’s a video. To change the oil or springs, you don’t need to go any further than the video. Sorry I can’t be more specific.
Good afternoon, thank you very much for your video, where can I buy the master link? thank you so much

Thanks, although I’ve come 3+ years late to this party I’ve enjoyed watching your journey. (Side note: depression is serious, talk about it or it might become a killer..).

Stay well! Les in UK 🇬🇧
Hi Les, thanks for your message. The chase for accuracy was more a question of seeing what I can achieve, I think I have levelled the table once since building it, and I guess it's about time to do it again, just to make sure it's not crazy skewed after all the abuse. For my work, 0.5mm would be OK. 0.1mm is way more than I need. Also, I'm highlighting mental health because I don't want it to be a taboo subject for all my viewers. Like you say, it's a serious subject and it shouldn't be a shameful thing to talk about. Take care of yourself and keep building! 😎👍🏻

That positive terminal scares me, but I bet by now jts been sorted [Big plastic end on cable seen now]. Did you drill it and put a grommet it for non-conductiveness. Will it spool correctly with the pulley so close? I suppose you are only going to be using 2M of rope, not 20M. [Nailed it - and you have sorted it.]
Yeah, spot on. These are very temporary wires including the connectors. Whenever I get to do the real wiring, I’ll make sure that there’s no possibility of shorting. Keep in mind that there’s only power in the wire when operating the winch. I’m considering changing the rope for wire. Initially I wanted the rope for lower weight and flexibility, but in hindsight I think wire would be better as we only need some 3-4 metres and wire is thinner (for ~2000kg) and most importantly it’s UV resistant. Thinner wire would mean it would spool better. We will see where we end up. One step at a time. Thanks for your comment. 😎👍🏻

What welder did you get? Where’s the “unboxing” video :)
There will not be a deboxification vijeo of this welder. There's plenty of better welder people out there that can do that stuff. I think it's a bit early to reveal what welder it is primarily because I'm still making friends with it and secondarily because this purchase has already had some issues, so mentioning the name/model might be taken as a recommendation. And I'm definitely not ready to recommend it - at least not yet. It might prove a good workhorse and if that's the case, I'm more than happy to recommend it onwards. I hope you understand. 🙂👍🏻
