Mechanic in Dundee area?

Scotriders · Jul 11, 2020

Anyone know of a competent mechanic in Dundee or surrounding area who can do GS work?
Left cylinder on my 2010 Adv has a leak on the base gasket and removing a cylinder is a bit beyond my DIY mechanic abilities.

Cheers

I don't think there is a base gasket on these?? Have a look here ........... https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/pa...0-K255-BMW-R_1200_GS_Adve_10_0470,0480_&mg=11

Oil overfill or a blocked breather could be the problem. The engine breather is included in the various diagrams shown in the above link

Definitely not over filled, will have look and see if it's a blocked breather.

Thanks

Never tried JCs, they don't wanna work on a +100,000 mile bike. They'd rather just service low mileage pcp bikes.
Might give Gary a shout if no one comes up with any other suggestions. But he moved from JCs cause he was sick of working on boxers.

Ah! Misread that.
Last time I spoke with Lesley she said he was asking full dealer price for working on her bike

will keep him in mind though.

One of you is havering, he asked £100 for an oil service, I, like her thought it was overly expensive for a homer that's why she didn't get him to do it but I'm sure that is still not full dealer price.

He badly broke his arm at the start of the year but should be back operational now though I guess he's been aff like everyone else, he's an option to ask for a theory if nothing else.
