just to get back on topic! am courious to how you can over fill the shaft drive on the gtr1400 when its states fill to top of thread. you can't get any more in it. 150ml which takes it to the top of the thread anymore it just pours out.
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

Im guessing its the same with BMW RT, you can overfill it if the wheel turns while filling, (as stated in the RT 's maintenance manual).

Also it takes a time to level off, if you pump a load in there and put the cap back on before its finished dripping you can still have too much, whether its enough to blow a seal i don't know?

silly me! I assumed that people who service there own bikes have and read the service maintenance manual! its states do not turn the rear wheel when filling! if you do, wait 10 minutes to settle.

Since we're talking about gardening, anyone recommend a pressure washer and a leaf blower?

I hope that pressure washer is for your flags or car and not the gtr ;) I have halfords own brand of power washer and there very good but don't use it on my bikes! have a black & decker leaf blower which is also dam good. but don't use it for whats it intended for. yes you've guessed it! I dry my bike's off with it after washing and rinsing with the hosepipe ;)

Lot's fun....... ;D ;D ;D ;D


Dont start on the Cleaning your bike with a Pressure washer....was one of the longest running threads on FJR site...Though most agreed the average pressure washer could corner better than the Bike..

I use one...not high powered one though. No more pressure than riding in the rain...just dont stick it in silly places...that's on the Bike too.....!

I just realized I haven't got a lawn either...no garden , first floor flat over looking the Sea...& you all worry about Road salt...You got to keep your Rustables well protected around here. Got good garage below. Salt fortress....!
