Rainman48 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I'm in the process of performing a valve check on my RT, and this morning I went to check on a sequence on one of Brad's Youtube videos and found but a very few are available, and his great maintenance videos are missing. Response to a saved bookmark was "this is a private video", and searching his channel as a subscriber there were only a half dozen available videos. I hope this is only a temporary thing. Maybe I'm missing an announcement somewhere, and hoping he can let us know what happened. Hope everything is OK, and I'd certainly pay him to view his excellent work. Link to comment
LAF Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 You can always order a DVD here:JVB He is the one who started me on the 1200. His DVD is just outstanding. http://www.jimvonbaden.com/Reviews.html 40 bucks for a instant download of his DVD. Link to comment
Boxflyer Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I left the country today and need to update some videos… My videos are still FREE. 5 Link to comment
Rainman48 Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 Sure, and I can also just refer to my BMW Service DVD or Google other YouTube sources. But my question really is: What happened to Brad's videos. I like and trust his production and efforts. Link to comment

You may be looking in the wrong place. Click on the “Videos” tab, and you should find them all. Here’s a link to the first of 6 videos for the R1200RT 12k service: Part 1 of 6 Link to comment

I have his channel and many of his videos properly bookmarked on all my computers, and none were working yesterday at the time I originally posted. I don't know what the cause was, but they are working fine now. Link to comment
Bruno From Québec Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Wasn't there a video on how to make you own cam tensioner tool? I can't find it anymore. I might give that a try since I have no other option. Link to comment

wbw6cos Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Boxflyer mentions in his videos about his DIY tools that he made himself, however, there was no mention of specifics. At his Tech Day Seminars, he discusses them in more detail but does provide exacts. He put a lot of blood, sweat, materials, and money into his fabrications and may not reveal relevant data. That is my take on that issue, as I have read similar sentiment that he posted in another sub-forum. You could always ask, though. As the old saying goes: your kilometers may vary......

Oldrider51 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Boxflyer, Where can one find your video or videos where you explain how to properly use the tools you produced for the R1200 LC motor? Especially the cam chain tensioner as I want to review it before I start my maintenance work. I I remember you did an updated one for this specific tool? Thanks. 1 Link to comment

Oldrider51 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thanks MikeB60, I found all of these but none actually discussed the use of his tools. I am thinking now that he did this in a thread and not a video. need to continue to look. Link to comment
Boxflyer Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I think the information here is similar enough from the 1250 that you can understand how it is used with the 1200 as well. https://youtu.be/PQeNcD0gGOw?feature=shared&t=340 Brad You can contact me via PM for this kind of direct question. 1 Link to comment

Good morning. I was looking at your 12,000 mile service video this morning and tried to download the files for your boxer boards. Some of the files, it seems mostly for left hand panels require access to be given. You would have gotten a couple gdrive requests from me as well. wonderful resource and thank you for them. new to BMW bikes and trying to not mess things up. cheers Link to comment
Boxflyer Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 As I said in the part of the QUOTED text... Please contact me VIA PM for this kind of direct question. You are already communicating with me via the YouTube comments as well as the GoogleDrive system... Enough is enough! 1 Link to comment

Print them out, and get them laminated at Staples or someplace, then mount them on foam board. Then just drill small holes through the plastic lamination for each screw location (with a few extras if you need). They work great that way, and then last a long time. 1 Link to comment
Kasommer Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Got them. Thank you. apologies for the over messaging Link to comment
