Subject: [BMWTech] A day in the shop
For some reason I thought that someone, somewhere might be interested to
know what happens in a small shop. Yesterday was kind of typical.
Started out not getting much done early on. Doing stuff like this. The I
clean up the shop a bit. Then continued reassembly of an R1100 motor for
a while: installing the remaining cylinder and the front timing gear.
At some point some dude calls me about changing a tire for his Virago
(wheel off bike). Normally I don't do non-BMW, but tubeless and wheel
off bike, OK as long as I can balance it. He brings it over, yes I can
balance that, leave it here and I'll see when I can fit it in.
Back to the R11 motor. I jumped out of sequence and decided at that
point to check out the cylinder heads which looked very good when I put
them on this bike only a few months ago. Good thing I did; the valves
were not nearly as nice as I remembered them being so all eight of them
got trimmed and I started on the valve seats.
A customer stopped by and chatted for a while. It was after noon at this
point and I really needed to get this motor off the table and pull the
tranny out of a PD in time to get the input shaft to the machine shop,
so I put the motor stuff into a box and roll the PD onto the lift.
Another customer calls to see if I can put a back tire on his Replika.
Sure, drop it off. I had ordered the tire months ago and was glad it
would finally get sold. I guessed it would be about $150 in all. OK,
nice BCR in the driveway, Virago wheel leaning against the doorway, PD
on lift, R11 motor in box. I spend some time on the phone with the GM of
the dealership where I do some work; looks like I'll be starting to put
time in there starting late April this year. Last year it was early
April but the industry is down a bit this year and so far their techs
are keeping up no problem.
Back to the PD. Less than two hours, input shaft in hand, it needs to be
cut for the circlip and reconditioned at the taper. Too late to go the
machine shop now. Might as well change the BMW tire. Done. Well hell,
might as well do the other one also. Take it off, OK, damn, which way
was it mounted? Speedo on left or right? No arrows on rim. Call owner,
leave message, which side is the speedo sensor on? He calls back and
leaves message: "See how one side has a bearing seal and the other has
none but has these two prongs? The prong side is the speedo sensor
side." Meredith can't understand why I'm laughing hysterically. A few
more phone calls gets it straightened out. Virago speedo on left just
like BMW.
BCR guy comes to get bike. I look up the price: one thirty something for
the tire alone. Damn. Shouldn't have said "not more than $150." Oh well,
he's in a cash bind and on the verge of having to sell the bike which I
really don't want to see. Plus with these tires he'll be back soon.
So, three input shafts ready for the machine shop (two from before),
tires done, back to the PD to see what I can do before I roll it off the
lift. Oil behind the flywheel. OK, clutch off, flywheel off, looks like
the rear main. Really wanted to stare at it for a while and put it on
the list for the next day, but I got my second wind and replaced the
rear main and oil pump cover O-ring. Done!!

I love working on my bikes/cars but Im too screwed up to do very much. When I replaced the fork seal on the R11GS it took a week. One day I put the bike on the centerstand. Another day I loosened some bolts. Another day to remove the wheel etc. Enjoy every minute doing what you love to do. And take care of yourself so you can do it for a long time!

I have days like that. Then I get stern looks from Meredith who wonders
why I haven't gotten around to fixing her vintage bike (which is by
definition last on the list), and my performance miraculously improves
the next day.

Subject: [BMWTech] spark plugs
List,
In the process of performing yearly maintenance, I was about to change
spark plugs. I am on a 2000 R1100 that is stock as far as I know. I
pulled the stock Bosch FR6-DDC plugs and was about to install a pair
of NGK BKR7EKC-N when I noticed something different. The electrodes
extend a little higher off of the base for the NGK plugs than the
Bosch plugs. So I measured and found for the Bosch: 0.152 inches and
NGK: 0.230 inches. I noticed in my Haynes manual that the NGKs are
specified for the R1150, but a different NGK is called out for the
R1100. The specifications manual that came with the bike call for the
Bosch's. The question (for the engine guys) is will I get into trouble
using the BKR7EKC's in a stock R1100 (electrodes hitting the pistons)?

Anton,
This is the advantage of having your own shop. Your experience sounds
relaxing and fun. It's 180 degrees away from my brief experience working
at a Harley dealership. Crowded conditions, tight deadlines, a boss that
liked to yell at his staff for fun, and 13 hour days. Pressure pressure
pressure.
You've got it good.

Subject: [BMWTech] Favorite tools..
While changing out the starter motor on my K100 last month I came to
appreciate some of my favorite tools. The 3/8" drive Allen set and the
perennial favorite the "Kragen special" magnet on the end of a telescoping
handle.
I did a battery R & R on the road last month (by choice) and also
appreciated what can get done with the OEM tool Kit.
What are some "must" have tools for home garage? Outside of basic spanners
and sockets. Not Model specific. I suppose it depends if you have one
(like me) or a garage full in the queue for paying customers.
One thing I know, another difference between pro mechanics and me.
The pro can always find the tool they need at any moment.
Cheers,

Not trying for a comprehensive list here, but I'll throw out
two that I consider MUST HAVE:
- compressor
- DMM
Okay, a third. Visit a Sears store and find yourself a good
Craftsman toolbox that meets your needs and budget. I
specifically call out Sears because their selection is HUGE
compared with what you will find practically anywhere else
(excluding your Snap-on, Mac, or Matco guys, but you won't
like their prices for home use.) Now, you can put away your
toys every time you're done playing with them.
Best regards,
Steve O.

DMM??
Yes I am a big Craftsman fan. I've cashed in on their "no questions asked"
warranty more than once. I do have a roll away tool box, but a bit messy.

Digital Multi Meter. Get a good one. The radio shack ones are pretty much
junk. I had one that read a consistent 2 volts low. I bought a Fluke and
have had no complaints since.

I used to carry a Triumph Cub around, in a box -- not a basket-- in the
back of my pickup truck while moving from one part of the country to
another, then put it back together when I'd arrived, no problem.
Not so anymore. Probably because I'm approaching retirement age, but one
of my favorite tools anymore is a small notepad and pencil. When I'm
deconstructing a bike, I take careful notes -- sometimes digital photos
-- along the way. When it comes to putting it back together, I start at
the bottom and work up.
It's especially useful for those jobs which, because I've had to order
parts, or just don't get back to the project, have a week or more
interruption.

I don't know specifically about radio shack ones, but I've had several
noname and offbrand elcheapo DMMs that have worked just fine. got a
really junky one I picked up at a hardware store for like $10 in my
drawer at work, a properly charged UPS battery reads about 12.8V (after
sitting a day or so out of the UPS), thats good enough for me. yes,
I'd suggest sanity checking a cheapo meter, plug it into a running
vehicle, and you should read around 13.6-13.9V or whatever, your bikes
battery should be about 12.6-12.8 in the morning, if you get anything
close to that, its fine for automotive use. the ohms scale is mostly
used for simple continuity testing, you don't really need to know if
that lamp is 4.8 ohms or 5.2 ohms, you just need to know its not a dead
short or open...

I never have days like this when it comes to wrenching. I go as fast as I can all the time & I don't stop till the bike is fixed. Secret to my speed: I have one bike & no other transportation!
Now getting the bike pretty again... that I took my sweet time with & not being under the gun is a MUCH better feeling. I can't wait to get back up transportation!

First thing the local wheelsmith always does is mark the rim (grease pen? dry erase? I forget) before he removes the tire, and often check to make sure there's an arrow on the tire before the owner leaves when dropping it off. He does ALL sorts of bikes/tires, including a paddle wheel rear tire and ski-grooved front for a guy who plays in sand dunes (gawd, wouldn't that be fun on the street).
Then there are tires with no arrows...

A wise gentleman I know, who has spent a LOT of years in the

Translation: the job you thought was going to take 15

Boy can I identify with what you wrote. It doesn't matter if you work on bikes or big diesel engines. I went to do a head - installed new guides started grinding the seats and lapping the new valves. I have two boxes of two intake valves and two boxes of two exhaust valves. I open the boxes remove the valves from wrapping wash them off line them up on the bench. Shortly there after I wonder why I have 6 exhaust valves and 2 intake valves. check the boxes. Someone someplace has put exhaust valves in an intake valve box. Several phone calls later and hey its lunch time... after lunch pull a gear off the end of the old crank. Launch the gear off the crank and across the floor. Spend the rest of the afternoon with a small file cleaning up the ends of the gear teeth where they hit the concrete so that the new crank now turns and the gear train feels nice. It is great owning your own shop. Total hours about 8 total dollars earned about 0 maybe I can get more don!

Subject: RE: [BMWTech] A day in the shop
I would never call myself a wrench in the true sense .... I'm a tinkerer
instead. But I can relate to the thread here in that I've had to get into my
R1100RS (and prolly w a y over my head). I know it comes apart easier than
going back together, but that didn't stop me. The problem was a bad
vibration in fifth gear ... gearbox was the diagnosis (after I talked about
it w/mechanic & friends for a week). So I took this:
http://members.cox.net/r1100rs/pix/bike1.jpg
and turned it into this last weekend.
http://members.cox.net/r1100rs/pix/bike2.jpg
I got the gearbox out and took to Dave Campbell for repair. Now I'm working
on the long list of things I never got around to doing when I was riding the
bike. Like the upgraded 1200 tensioner for the left jug. And the tiny speedo
and tach lights that burned out last year. Made it tough to see how fast ...
at 0'dark thirty every morning. And much cleaning and tidying up zip-ties on
the extra wires I put in for GPS and charging the bike. And cleaning all the
parts I took of the bike. Which reminds me: Why do I need to vent the
crankcase fumes back thru my airbox?? I know the *green* issue, butt I've
never seen a messier, oilier airbox. And that gunk is all over the intake
side of both throttlebodies. It can't be doing the valves any good as that
stuff gets burnt. Any solutions to this?? Why can't I just button up the
vent hole in the airbox and vent the crank stuff elsewhere??
Butt I digress ... I was just enjoying the thread and wanted to contribute.
My last point is that because of the next picture, I am now able to take the
time and enjoy working on the RS, cause I don't have to get it back up and
running ASAP, as I have always had to do in the past. A moment of insanity

high rate of speed. THINK. "blowby" Where it goes and needs to exit
from. What happens if it does not exit.

Flukes are great. Easy to use, and if you get the top model in a series,
all sorts of useful features.
Diode tester, capacitor tester (condenser), frequency meter, mili amps, and

Generally "too much oil" is due to overfilling. The dreaded "too
little/too much" oil in the oilhead issue. Or you have a lot of
blowby carrying the oil out.

Do it. Take pictures. Ride slowly. You don't want to crash at a
high rate of speed. THINK. "blowby" Where it goes and needs to exit
from. What happens if it does not exit.

Does this mean the house is at a point where it could be considered
"complete enough" for a while? The house money hemorrhage is at least
reduced if not staunched?

That's a new one on me. I like my flukes, though admittedly its not small

I have had good service from flukes. Through my own fault, I have blown
them up 3 times roughly. They repair or send replacement at about half the
cost of the original. Nice.
I also dropped mine from 15 feet one day, destroyed the display. I had
blown it up not too long before than and was pretty freshly repaired. They
fixed it, and no charge, they just said it was still under warranty.
I like that sort of service! They were made in US, probably overseas now,
but that was nice to start with as well. Of course, I used to want nothing
from Japan, now its China and the like. Japan doesn't look so bad (we
ignore of course the fact that two cycles are from Japan, one from Germany
as is the car)

Actually Sanwa has been making meters for likely longer than Fluke. As proof I
offer the old analog Sanwa meter here which I'm sure must have been made in the
early 60s. Still works great too!
The Sanwa I have is by no means top of the line, but it's a real nice meter.
Especially for 50 bucks. If I drop it I'll get another and still be way ahead of
a Fluke.
Actually it comes in a real nice case where you don't have to remove it to use
it so if it does drop, it won't be damaged, it's strapped into the case.

Fluke has been around since the 1940s. Brands older than that would
include Simpson and Triplett. I don't recommend a Simpson VOM for field

Hey if anybody's got an old beat up no good Fluke meter, I could sell it for a
million dollar here on Yahoo auction. Seriously, the Japanese love this shit
with the big names if it works or not.
Glad to hear how long they've been around. I guess they were instrumental in
helping keep the WWII planes flying then ;-)
It would be interesting to find out the history of Sanwa. Most likely though
they don't go back that far. Like most of this stuff the Japanese cloned, er
developed in the 60s. Still, they had to have something to trouble shoot those
WWII planes too!

I was looking around their web pages and they started producing meters in

Hi,
Does anyone know where I could purchase the bmw special service tools on
the net ?
More precisely, I'm reading in Clymer's that I'd need the tool 11 2 100
to tighten the bearing cap nuts of the connecting rods to the crankshaft
an additional 83 degrees.
Is there a way I could do it without the special tool ? I could give the
nuts an additional 90 degrees easier than 83. Are the 7 difference that
important ?

Subject: [BMWTech] Radial tire question
Well, BMW techies,
I had a nice discussion about tires for My Blue Mistress, a 1996 R1100RS,
at the local non-BMW shop. They do the work on My Puddle Jumper, a 1989
Honda TransAlp.
Anyway, the RS is needing some tires pretty soon, and Steve, the shop
tech, was telling me that with radial tires I should run the front tire 2
psi higher than the rear. He worked for Dunlop in Europe in the early
90's and that was how they set up their tires on the race bikes back
then.
My BMW sticker doesn't say that, but I don't believe everything I read.
Your thoughts? I really don't know how to measure the difference, except
with the 'this feels good' or 'wow, I thought I was going to slide out'
type of perception. Much like butt-pucker readings; it's not the type
of information that qualifies as data.
Many thanks,

Ummmm...
Some intial thoughts. Your going to be running ~15 year old race
tires on the street? Was that setup on a BMW oilhead or something
else with a different weight distribution? Do you run at early 90's
in Europe race speeds in your normal riding?
I strongly suspect current road tires have a different set of design
specs minimum. There has been a lot of recent talk that the "10%
pressure increase" rule no longer applies to proper tire pressure
establishment. It takes a different pressure to get the tire to the
"right" temperature. How ordinary mortals determine that the tire is
at the right temperature I sure have not heard.
Racer's really don't care about tire pressure, they do care about tire
temperature. Tom Cutter has told me that the "tire guy" checks the
tire temps coming off the track, and they adjust the tire pressure
based on that. It can vary from rider to rider for the same tire,
depending on their riding style, and how gutsie they are.
I have never seen a spec for "achieve this tire temp" for proper
operation. It is just alluded to that there is one. It might be
proprietary.
I suspect that DATA will be hard to come by. And it will depend a lot
on the type of riding you are doing right then,

John,
I'm not a BMW Techie(tm) but I do know a little about tires... The
tire pressure is based on load and with the aims of managing sidewall
flex and the size of the contact patch. The ideal pressure will vary
a little bit based on ambient (highway) temperature as well as your
riding style and load.
I don't know your tire sizes, but normally the rear will have a larger
contact patch because of the necessary acceleration and weight
bearing. Start with das Vaterland's recommended pressure based on
your riding setup (solo, 2-up, luggage) and consider adjusting for
personal mass if you're outside the 150-250lbs range. Choose a nice
day, between 60 and 80f . Check the pressure when cold. Ride highway
for an hour or so and check the pressure again. You should get a rise
in pressure of something like 10-15% . I go for about 5lbs increase.
Too much increase means the cold pressure was too low and the
sidewalls are flexing enough to potentially overheat your tires. Too
little increase and the tires are too stiff, won't wear well, and your
traction will be sub-optimal.
I'm not certain, but I'll bet the friend's experience has something to
do with the significant breaking required during racing as well as the
forward rider weight. Now you're on an RS which has a more forward
riding position than mine (GS), but the sticker under the seat
probably suggests more pressure in the rear. Der Vater knows best.
Cheers,
-Greg Guithues.
