This BMW R1200GS, a companion for ten years and boasting over 85,000 kilometers, has traversed the Sichuan-Tibet Highway (318) countless times. Now, due to its age, the engine is exhibiting serious abnormal noises: a screeching sound when engaging the clutch, difficulty finding neutral, and excessive oil consumption.
To get it ready to conquer the 219 National Highway again, I decided to completely disassemble this "boxer" engine for a thorough overhaul. In the video, you will see:
The truth behind the damaged input shaft bearing of the transmission.
Severely carbon-depleted pistons and clogged oil rings.
The differences in oil circuit design between the original tensioner and the manual tensioner (hardcore details!).
The charm of an internal combustion engine lies in that rhythmic heartbeat; when thousands of parts come alive again for you, all the hard work is worthwhile!
