Re: R1200RT rear drive oil

you need to try it. If you have a good evac pump it works VERY well. BUT not for the newer bikes w/ no "fill" plug. there is more than one way to skin a cat....

Re: Best possible front drum brake options?

Vintage brake!! It's what they do, and I LOVE my ferodo platinum pads I get from them!! longer arms ..I would try that, 20mm may be a bit much, as stated your handle bar lever pull will be longer. I did this on an Ossa MAR and along with some high zoot pads from Sammy Miller it stopped well. /5 drum...

Re: R1200RT rear drive oil

I've done it both ways. It depends what else I'm doing to the bike, I've also checked my work a few times after sucking it out by dropping the FD, not a drop came out. I've sucked it out probably more than 100 times, no problem.

Re: R1200RT rear drive oil

Yes! I have done it many times, it helps if it is hot, and you will need some small vent line (1/8"?) we used a tall oil vac. Hope you have a good compressor. you also want the latest fill spec. 170cc I THINK?

Re: /2 in the snow

Am I the only one that hates this bike? " hey, let's pull the fenders, put knobbies on it, and while we are at I got this case of BBQ black leftover from the truck"
