Hedz,

As posted May 8th, here is a one month out reminder:

First Annual Mason Dixon Tech Day/Social Gathering/Swap Meet-Saturday September 8th, 8:00 AM to ? at the rural home of Mark Passaro.  We are located in south-central PA about twenty miles north of the MD line at the foot of South Mtn. near York Springs.  Perhaps some of the Marylanders will join us, all are welcome from wherever you call home.  Hoping to have some "keepers of the knowledge" present to assist with repairs or maintenance.  Most standard and some special tools here, contact me if you have a need and arrangements can be made to have required tools available.  Oft times now these affairs are more of a social gathering and less about wrenching and that is fine as well.   Plenty of room and we'll keep the pool open!  I will have table space available to sell any parts or gear (I'm emptying some shelves), clean out that horde of Motorrad gold and bring it, pass it on to a Club member. 

We're located at: 2081 County Line Rd.  York Springs, PA 17372.  Look for the ABC sign!  Some notice you're coming will help in planning food and refreshments.  Coffee/donuts in the morning and something good for lunch.  Contact Mark at 717-514-3939 or email longshot1ah at comcast.net

Anyone have any experience dealing with https://www.motardinn.com/motorcycle-equipment.

I?m looking for a waterproof backpack manufactured or distributed by Shad and these folks come up in a Google search as having stock.  Amazon lists it as a 1 to 3 month wait.

Hi Jim,

Hedz,

We're doing it again and I haven't seen much list chatter, so please
register if you haven't already so we can get our food counts together. If
you already registered, thank you.  I'll put a list together of
registrations received and email it out at the beginning of September after
Labor Day.

LAST DAYS OF SUMMER

The Maryland Airheads invite all Airheads, riders and passengers on
airheads, and all who enjoy motorcycling to the Last Days of Summer. This
is our fifth year hosting the event!

This year, feel free to show up again Thursday to pitch camp, enjoy the
evening, and then spend a full day riding Friday. The area offers fantastic
pavement riding and Green Ridge State Park to the south and east offers
plenty of gravel for GS riders.

We?ll be at the Little Orleans Campground again where we have secured the
same large group tent-camping area and pavilion for gathering, relaxing,
and general merriment.  RV and cabin sites are also available, but you need
to contact the campground directly to secure a separate if you want to go
that route.

We?ll be ready to go starting around noon on Thursday, September 20th with
coolers for beverages, but?s that about it.  That evening we will probably
ride a short distance to Bill?s Place in Little Orleans for dinner, or you
can do whatever you like.  The idea is to get out there a day early and get
some more riding in on Friday.

We will provide dinner Friday and Saturday evenings, and we?ll have coffee
and lite breakfasts all Saturday and Sunday mornings. Not sure what we?ll
serve this year, but if the last two years are any indication, it should be
worth the ride.

Getting there from just about anywhere should be a lot of fun. Interstate
68 runs east / west about six miles north of Little Orleans, but that?s
probably the least interesting way to get there. GPS coordinates for Little
Orleans, according to Garmin?s City Navigator, are N39 37.717  W78 23.369.
That will get you close.  From Little Orleans, take Orleans RD SE northwest
out of town.  Bear right/north onto Oldtown Orleans RD SE. After about a ?
mile make a right hand turn into the campground. The campground?s website
is: http://www.littleorleanscampground.com/ Their address is: 31661 Green
Forest Dr., S.E., Little Orleans, MD 21766 and their phone number is:
301-478-2325

The cost for the weekend is $45.00.  We limit the registration 60 people
which helps maintain a casual uncrowded atmosphere, and a manageable number
for food preparation. We?ll also have rally T-shirts available for $15.00
while they last, unless you pre-order which guarantees you get the size you
want. MD Airmarshal Will Andalora is handling the registration again this
year. Send him a check or pay via PayPal (please use pay option to pay a
friend to avoid service charges - MarylandAirheads at gmail.com).

Make checks payable to Maryland Airheads and mail them to 84 ? W Green
Street, Westminster, MD 21157. Please include your email address and phone
number, so we can reach out to you if needed.  Jim McKinna usually makes a
series of GPS mapped riding routes available for download. We may also be
able to get some off-road routes for folks this year. We also push out
information through email as the event approaches, so your contact
information is helpful for that. Any questions, just email Will at
MarylandAirheads at gmail.com or call him at (410) 596-0812.

Mis Amigos Marylandos,

I wish I could make it this year, but we'll be on vacation (again). 
Seems like I miss every other LDoS and every other Supertech.

I'll see you guys at some point.

Have fun,

Here is some chatter:

I plan to be there.  I will produce a few routes.  I have no idea if I?m supposed to be providing anything as I did in past years.  If not, I look forward to a long ride Fri.  Perhaps a mini rolling rally for me.  I have not been to Princess Snowbird campground in a couple of years.  I might start the weekend there Thursday.  That?ll give me a head start on a ride Fri.  And now that I have those enormous saddle bags from David Hamburger I can carry more beverages!

Jim

Hedz,

We're doing it again and I haven't seen much list chatter, so please
register if you haven't already so we can get our food counts together. If
you already registered, thank you.  I'll put a list together of
registrations received and email it out at the beginning of September after
Labor Day.


All the Best,

LAST DAYS OF SUMMER

The Maryland Airheads invite all Airheads, riders and passengers on
airheads, and all who enjoy motorcycling to the Last Days of Summer. This
is our fifth year hosting the event!

This year, feel free to show up again Thursday to pitch camp, enjoy the
evening, and then spend a full day riding Friday. The area offers fantastic
pavement riding and Green Ridge State Park to the south and east offers
plenty of gravel for GS riders.

We?ll be at the Little Orleans Campground again where we have secured the
same large group tent-camping area and pavilion for gathering, relaxing,
and general merriment.  RV and cabin sites are also available, but you need
to contact the campground directly to secure a separate if you want to go
that route.

We?ll be ready to go starting around noon on Thursday, September 20th with
coolers for beverages, but?s that about it.  That evening we will probably
ride a short distance to Bill?s Place in Little Orleans for dinner, or you
can do whatever you like.  The idea is to get out there a day early and get
some more riding in on Friday.

We will provide dinner Friday and Saturday evenings, and we?ll have coffee
and lite breakfasts all Saturday and Sunday mornings. Not sure what we?ll
serve this year, but if the last two years are any indication, it should be
worth the ride.

Getting there from just about anywhere should be a lot of fun. Interstate
68 runs east / west about six miles north of Little Orleans, but that?s
probably the least interesting way to get there. GPS coordinates for Little
Orleans, according to Garmin?s City Navigator, are N39 37.717  W78 23.369.
That will get you close.  From Little Orleans, take Orleans RD SE northwest
out of town.  Bear right/north onto Oldtown Orleans RD SE. After about a ?
mile make a right hand turn into the campground. The campground?s website
is: http://www.littleorleanscampground.com/ Their address is: 31661 Green
Forest Dr., S.E., Little Orleans, MD 21766 and their phone number is:
301-478-2325

The cost for the weekend is $45.00.  We limit the registration 60 people
which helps maintain a casual uncrowded atmosphere, and a manageable number
for food preparation. We?ll also have rally T-shirts available for $15.00
while they last, unless you pre-order which guarantees you get the size you
want. MD Airmarshal Will Andalora is handling the registration again this
year. Send him a check or pay via PayPal (please use pay option to pay a
friend to avoid service charges - MarylandAirheads at gmail.com).

Make checks payable to Maryland Airheads and mail them to 84 ? W Green
Street, Westminster, MD 21157. Please include your email address and phone
number, so we can reach out to you if needed.  Jim McKinna usually makes a
series of GPS mapped riding routes available for download. We may also be
able to get some off-road routes for folks this year. We also push out
information through email as the event approaches, so your contact
information is helpful for that. Any questions, just email Will at
MarylandAirheads at gmail.com or call him at (410) 596-0812.

Subject: [MDairheads] Exhaust Port Thread Question
Message-ID: <DM5PR13MB1801CE56F84553C8979E918ABA330@DM5PR13MB1801.namprd13.prod.outlook.com>

Evening All,


When attempting to remove the exhaust crossover pipe to clean trust from it and the exhaust pipes, I found it was rusted solid to both exhaust pipes.


So I decided to go ahead and remove both exhaust pipes.  They're pretty rusty.  I also wanted to make sure they hadn't rusted into the exhaust ports.


The left side exhaust nut came off smooth as butter.  Right side loosened a couple turns and then would not budge.  Having paid attention to advice passed along in the prior tech sessions I've attended, I went ahead and cut the exhaust nut off rather than force it off.


Found the reason it hung up was some slight damage to a thread as you can see in the attached photo.  I'm guessing it happened during a removal by a previous owner.


Looks to me like I should be able to clean it up with a die since the damage isn't too severe or too extensive.  Is this the recommended course of action?  If so, anybody know what size die to use and possibly a source that sells them?


Kevin

I had the same issue three or four years ago and I sent it to Randy 
Long.   He had it back to me a week later.  No jive.   I called him 
first and he said send it in.    Brand-new threads for somewhere around 
50 bucks.

Not sure if I rsvp?ed, but I would sure enjoy attending. In the event that it is full, that?s ok... I will give my spot to someone who lives further away than I do.

 Kevin,
I know that Boxer2Valve sells them.
http://www.boxer2valve.com/motorcycle/8818270.html
I didn't see you mention your model. This one is Size= M52 x 2. Suitable
for all R2V models from /5 to R100, NOT the R45 and R65. Check the
applications tab.
I haven't checked anywhere else so I don't know if $180 is a good price for
the quality of this one.

Boxer2Valve also sells a metric thread file.
http://www.boxer2valve.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=bmw2valve&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=6440226
Given the price of $43, I would personally try it first if the threads
aren't too bad:
I have not tried this tool but I watched the video of William using it, and
it seemed pretty easy. Others may have different opinions.

Craig

I would try repairing with a thread file first, before taking a die to it. Be patient, slow and steady does win some races. Then if all else fails pay someone. 
Good luck

I had Randy Long weld new threaded exhaust nipples on my heads last year. He has new castings of the threaded section. Perfect welding and machining. $50 sounds right.

I tried this route also, but my threads were so totally ficklified after 
forcing the nut off (not cutting it) that I wasn't able to salvage them.

So far the vote count is:


Two for a cautious attempt at repair using a thread file


Two for drop back and punt to Randy Long for expert repair.


Many thanks to Craig Barnhart for pointing me to a source for file & die - Boxer2Valve - should have known better and checked there myself.


I'll have to take a look at YouTube for some thread filing demos to get a feel for the task.  Hate to pull the head and ship it off when the damage is mostly confined to one thread.  In any other world it looks like it would be a simple thread clean up with a die.


The die purpose built for the task runs $180.  File comes in under $50.  Past customers of Randy's say he charged @ $50 for his thread repair.  Guess I could try thread file, send it to Randy if I mess it up and still come in under the die price.


One bright spot is my wedding anniversary is next month and I haven't submitted my wish list to the wife yet : )

Afternoon Kevin,

Your cutting the exhaust collar to protect the flange was certainly the
right thing to do in your case. The damage looking at the photo is certainly
minimal and could be addressed by using an appropriate file and some careful
dressing. A die is the best way to go. I did a quick online check and you
can find 52 X 2 mm dies on ebay for around $65. Deeper digging may get you a
used one for less.

If you use either go slowly and I recommend just use the die by hand. It's
all it should need.

Cheers Chris

Evening All,


When attempting to remove the exhaust crossover pipe to clean trust from it
and the exhaust pipes, I found it was rusted solid to both exhaust pipes.


So I decided to go ahead and remove both exhaust pipes.  They're pretty
rusty.  I also wanted to make sure they hadn't rusted into the exhaust
ports.


The left side exhaust nut came off smooth as butter.  Right side loosened a
couple turns and then would not budge.  Having paid attention to advice
passed along in the prior tech sessions I've attended, I went ahead and cut
the exhaust nut off rather than force it off.


Found the reason it hung up was some slight damage to a thread as you can
see in the attached photo.  I'm guessing it happened during a removal by a
previous owner.


Looks to me like I should be able to clean it up with a die since the damage
isn't too severe or too extensive.  Is this the recommended course of
action?  If so, anybody know what size die to use and possibly a source that
sells them?


Kevin

Thread file works wonders......it moves metal back to where it belongs vs 
removing metal as a die does.

I damaged my exhaust threads so bad I was sure they needed to be cut off and 
remachined.

Called my buddy Ted Porter (The Beemer Shop) and he reminded me about thread 
files.

20 mins later I had 90% of the thread in excellent shape......right on the 
bike.....nothing else.  Done.

Use lots of Nickel based anti-seize......lots......and work the exhaust nut ALL 
the way on before you put the pipe on......then go back and forth ......back and 
forth to get the anti-seize well worked into the threads.  Wipe off the excess 
and install the exhaust.

Also use anti-seize on all slip-fits and nuts and bolts.  Everything gets 
anti-seize.

I would try repairing with a thread file first, before taking a die to it. Be 
patient, slow and steady does win some races. Then if all else fails pay 
someone.
Good luck

Took a look on YouTube and chasing threads with a thread file looks well within my comfort level.  Found what looks to be a decent metric thread file and a 52 x 2.0 rethreading die on eBay that won't break the bank.  Plan is to clean the bad thread(s) with the file and then make a pass with the die to ensure things are clean and uniform.

Randy will be the fallback option in case I make a mess of things.

disclaimer:
NOT for so called guru's to read

i show here my set of thread chaser files ... there are 8 sizes per file.
 2  are USA  1 is whitworth because of my many brit machines...

know that different threads have different 'pitches'  and # of thread Per
Inch.        so using a 3 sided hardware store hand file has a different
angle than what you may need.      some file kits have 8-10 different
angled files available so those are easy to buy and use        * slowly and
carefully.*


another old machinists trick is to use/ make  a chaser die.    this can
simply be made of an exhaust nut  [yeah    gotta buy a nut to clean the
threads where you cut  4 or 5  SLOTS are cut 90?   into an 1/8 or 3/16''
into the threads.    this  semi sharp edge makes a ' cutter' at each groove
you made.    i use a hand 4'' grinder to make my grooves which are cut
clear thru the chaser nut,   cut into the threads.   Clean up the now cut
chaser threads inside so no burrs are present,  before you attempt to chase
the threads on the head using oil as a lubricant.   advance the thread
chaser a little then back-off a tad.
just the same process you use when threading with a tap or die.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6Ijd9o-C10           turn, back off
....... turn  ,,  ,,  back off  repeat.



i'll show you a couple way to make the chaser.
again   do this only as a last resort before handing it off to get a
professional job done.  you just may surprise your self and save the
threads.

as mentioned use an anti seize on the nuts.  copper is good   ... nickel is
better  w/ a higher heat range.

Just remember Kev.........thread file moves metal back to where it belongs. 
Re-threading die removes metal.

You want to keep all the metal possible for thread strength.

I used the pipe collar to tell me when the treads were good.  Going around and 
around with the thread file worked wonders.

  Looking at the picture, I agree, if it were mine I would grab a triangle shaped file out of the tool box and get busy.  A careful hand should be sufficiant for bringing definition back to the misshapen portions.  Neither file nor die will restore the pitch to its full major diameter.  But a proper shape can be restored without spending a buck.   All ISO Metric threads are set at 60 degrees.  Most every triangle shaped file on the planet is also set at 60 degrees.  Aluminum is quick to clog the cutting surface of a file.  A coarse single cut is best, rub chalk on the file first, this will help prevent it from becoming clogged with every stroke. 

  As Mike has mentioned, use the new nut to further caress the repaired threads.  

 Happy fiddling.  

    Bill.

Nicely presented.
Complete with a couple of tips to reduce frustration.

Much appreciated Bill

Kevin save the job for ST and demonstrate the technique!

thus using one will complicate your problems and eliminate ever more
threads than you want.   you've lost enough already.    many may not know

two mating threads, measured radially ] .

The beauty of a thread file is all the thread V angles and thread to thread 
alignment is spot-on.

A single V shape file used by hand can and does vary a lot.  The less material 
removed or moved to the wrong place & wrong angle.....the better.

Like using most tools, let the tool tell & guide you with gentle 
strokes......not other way 'round.

Good evening, (morning) Hedz,
I am preparing a 1992 GSPD for a long tour of Mexico , I have the bike
partially dissassembled ( rear drive, shaft and gear box removed) and I was
, smartly, advised to inspect the clutch and rear seal since I am so close .
 I think that this would be an excellent thing if there is someone in the
airhead group that could , and would help me takle this job as I have
relatively limited mechanical knowledge to consider doing it by myself . I
would really like to meet him ( or them)
I have a garage, a lift, plenty of tools and a few weeks. the bike must be
road ready by mid Sepember with enough time to do a long tast ride before
the trip.
I am happy to trade the help and advise for a nice dinner for two with all
the goodies at La Ferme restaurant
( note: that I do not have the special tools required for this specific job
but will have in hand all needed parts )
my schedule is flexible.
The goal is to do all preventive maintenance and as much upgrading as
possible so the trip will be about riding and not about repair on the
motel's parking lot. My experience has been good so far and I have been
able to ride long distance in the boonies of the world without any issues
in may trip in the last 30 years and I love to keep it that way.
Thanks for reading and all your consideration and advise.
sincerely,
Alain Roussel.
1990 R100 GSPD - 1992 R100 GSPD - 1994 R100 GS.......

Alain,


I've got lots of mechanical experience but new myself to the intricacies of Airheads.  I'm more than willing to hold work lights, hand the pros tools, fetch cold ones or act as camera man to document the effort.


I'm on work travel the week of 27 - 31 Aug but available when I get back.


Kevin

good afternoon,
Thanks to the overall support of the group the rear main seal has been
successfuly replaced this morning with the help and support of Jim McKenna
who came this morning.
I like to  thank everyone ,I got lots of good advise ,specially from Dave
fish (PA airhead) who told me not to be afraid , he was right, this seems
impressive but it is not too complicated if you have the right tools . I
fabricated in a few minutes a tool to block the flywheel with scrap
aluminum ( the special tool made for this  job did  not work for the GS and
is way over what is needed in my opinion). the clutch tention release
screws were found in the shop and it took the better part of a  couple of
hours to finish. (Jim had the seal pushing tool with him.)
Thanks a million to all who responded. I knew that I could count on you.
I  am looking  forward to  be returning the favor.

Here is a very well documented and interesting article about the R80G/S and
how important that model is in BMW motorcycle history, see
https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/genesis-bmw-r80-g-s

Like the R90S, the R80G/S is a very pivotal model for BMW!

Morning Alain. That?s wonderful that Jim was available. Good man to have in your corner plus Jim got some first hand experience on a similar task at Dales in June on Johns bike. 
I was going to suggest next weekend but it good you got it done earlier. Gives you more time for preparation and testing. 
Let us know if you have need of more assistance. 
Cheers Chris

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to give a quick thanks to those who recently took Route 144
and posted about it on the list. I had the chance to go through that way
last weekend and I'm very grateful for the advice. Took that highway from
the bottom to the top on my GS while the wife trudged along behind us. Her
X1 is zippy, but that is a MOTORCYCLE road. :-)

And if anyone is eyeing a trip through there in the future, we found a
lovely little B&B very close to the southern end of PA 144. It's called
Earlystown Manor Bed and Breakfast. Not far from State College. Nice place
with really great owner / operators. Allowed us a great rest and to get a
good, refreshed start to that road the next morning.

Enjoy the rest of the riding season, everyone! Sorry I won't be able to
make it to LDoS (again) this year. I'll be in Congo and Mali during those
dates. No rest for the wicked, as they say....
