Second GPS Phone Mount Quest
I have been having a hell of a time finding another mount to attach to the top of the right fork tube on the R1100S. My intention is to add a phone mount to the right side and leave the GPS on the left side. It makes for a very clean install.
After some extended searching I did find this one Tech Mount BMW Fork Cap Mount 4-21005 which looks like it /might/ work. I've sent them an inquiry.
Transmission and Final Drive Fluid Change - 67922
As a testament to how bad the last five years have been for me, I failed to realize that I had not changed the transmission or final drive oil in all that time. Oops.
The last time I changed the oil, I was unable to get the transmission drain bolt out and had to tip the bike on its side to drain the oil.
Mileage 63974 - Oil and Filter Change and Wash
It was a little overdue for an oil change.
And at least once a decade if it needs it or not, I washed it. It cleans up pretty well.
Center Stand Bolt Replacement
I sheered off one of the center stand bolts, so they need to be replaced.
Mileage 59867 - Oil Filler plugs valves oil and filter change.
I need to prep the bike for the upcoming Virginia mapping trip. The oil filler cap is spinning in place again and needs to be resealed. It's been ages since I've checked the valves so that needs to be done and the plugs are also quite old.
Oil Sight Glass Replacement - 59867
I will have to keep an eye on it but it seems like the oil sight glass is leaking.
Front Brake Lines Replacement - 59867
The front left brake line on the guest bike has failed. I placed an order for replacement lines.
R1100S Tire Change
I have a set of new Michelin Pilot Road 5GT's that I got from Revzilla waiting to be installed. User K1300S had asked to participate so I'm scheduling this for the weekend.
Flat Rear Tire Off The Rim Patch
It's always saddest when they die too young. The rear tire on the R1100S is punctured and needs to be replaced.
Zumo 550 Button Repair
The zoom in button on my ancient Garmin Zumo 550 GPS popped out. On ADVRider I had come across a post by a guy from the Netherlands who sold replacement button strips for these units. I bought the strips and have had them lying around here for ages now.
This evening, in a moment of clarity, I decided to try to repair the unit. I honestly thought it would be more difficult than it was.
