Valves were all in spec .10=.15mm is the range, RH intake was near the lower end of the spec but still inside. Shim over bucket so not a big pain to change shims. Valve cover back on, frame tank oil screen cleaned.
Now it's off with her carbies.
While messing with this I'm also going through the OTHER BMW cuz I think it's going on a longish camping trip come July.
Couple little things done and thought I'll check the alternator belt.
@GLJ
three bolts to the cam chain cover two plastic to plastic screws.
One bolt was already MIA, another broke off trying to loosen it. The MIA bolt was actually twisted off too.
There goes the simple ten minute check.
Newish trick; use a center drill to establish the hole center in the bolt, it's better at letting you walk the hole to center without snapping.
Bolts drilled and the hole stayed in them, no go on the easy outs, drilled out to tap size, cleaned the threads and reinstalled the cover. The belt still looked good. You can see the road salt effects. 93K on this one so far. Also did oil, filter, drive shaft splines, and pumpkin fluid, swing arm bearing grease, set valves, checked spark plugs, last week.
Ride what is this riding you speak of?
