Buckster Posted Monday at 20:11 Share Posted Monday at 20:11 Replaced them today, I have a tool that uses a drift to remove the originals and a press to fit the new ones. I also have a new shifter shaft to go on but I also pulled the clutch today so will fit the shaft when I reassemble everything. The primary oil smelt nicely burnt from the slipping clutch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago 4 hours ago, Buckster said: How many miles on the GS now? 147 or 149 km. It hasn’t been used much over the last few months. But that’ll change in September and November. I would expect your engine to last longer than the GS’s, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has never used a drop of oil until now, it has started to do so about 10k ago, and is using about 400/500 ml per 6 or 7000 km. We plan to take it apart at around 200.000km and rebuild it, unless it gets substantially worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of oil is acceptable, so I’ll just keep an eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that mileage there will be engine wear, when the bike isn’t moving to pistons lean on the rings in the bores. You have to hand it to those Nazi engineers.

Catteeclan Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Wasn't there something about the Beemers going back to conventional oil as the synthetic was glazing up the bores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some words about being able to switching to 10w50 synthetic but that was supposed to be mainly because there was a shortage of the synthetic 5w40 on several markets due to supply chain issues.
