The video does not exist! (Apparently)

[pistole]

yeah , he probably removed it on account of abuse



but the pic at the top shows the old style adjuster.

I'm sure I used MG Valeri's excellent video to work out what to do with mine..... if you ask him I'm sure he 'll re-post it 

[Boomer]

I don't recall EVER doing any maintenance on the old GTR's shock adjuster and yet I never had any issues with it. I guess I was just extremely lucky then. 

Likewise. 54k miles and never done anything other than adjust it.

Well we finally had a break in the rain and a tested the gtr finally .
Could not fault the handling it let me know it wanted to go a couple of times lol.as I posted before it's from a bmw dealer who has given me 3 months warranty and a pre collection service.
On the test ride after about 40 minutes the R battery sensor low warning came on!!.the dealer said they would sort it out . Should I be concerned and also does the sensor warning come on straight away or like today about 30 to 40 minutes later .
Thanks again everyone. Regards Pross

Pross, if the battery low warning showed itself after about 40 minutes then I would suggest it needs replacing. If the dealer is offering to sort this out then good on them as it wont be cheap. It'll be about the £300 mark.

In cold conditions, at the commencement of a ride I have seen the low battery warning message being displayed briefly however after the tyres had suitably warmed up the message disappeared, if the warning came on after a decent ride as yours has then I would suggest without a doubt the battery is on its way out.

What's the R battery sensor?

Is that one of the batteries in the tyre pressure monitor valve things inside the wheels? seems to me theyr'e more trouble than they are worth is a two pound coin battery ens up costing hundreds!!

[pross]

thanks for that.
I popped into cradley kawasaki last Saturday after info about recalls ETC.
even the sales man there said they last about 2 yrs better to check your self old school than as you said pay out about £300. per wheel.
I hope the dealer gets them cost and does both ( wishful Thinking ) or the front goes in the next 3 months during the warranty. .
is there anyway the dealer ( BMW ) can cancel the alarm ?.
or does it stay of after a certain time if not replaced.

[pross]

hi wolf.
thanks for all your input .
when I fired her up the only thing lit were fuel /temp/ gear.
and the abs lamp I m led to believe this comes on till you move away which it did.
and as I said the sensor warning came on intermittently  for about 5 to 10 minutes then stayed off.

I had one of my tyre pressure sensor batteries changed under warranty last year. It only came on at the beginning of my rides so as I explained to the dealer I would never be able to show the fault being displayed to them as by the time I reached their showroom, the tyres had suitably warmed up and the fault message had disappeared.

The dealer, Autorama at Batley was excellent, they weren't bothered about never having seen the warning they just ordered the new part from Kawasaki and replaced it.

I just got the warning screen today Steve.................A job to do at tyre change time me thinks 

[Lonewolf]

Yep, it pays to keep on top of these jobs.

I had the same conversation about the low batt warning only being on when cold at the start of the ride and them never seeing it as they were 2 hours away. They sorted it with no problems.

A nice result today from the dealer who I am buying the gtr of he has serviced it and ordered the new rear sensor  I asked if he will replace the front being the same age  .
You have to ask don't you, hoping if it fails it's during the 3 months warranty
