No offense taken on my part Mika, I still have a sense of humor even after seven weeks dealing with this frick'in bike in Lima...
Just for an update, we found a bearing for the rear panalever in Lima but then found the master cylinder for the clutch has failed again. I'm thinking the system was not bleed properly since the master cylinder has all new parts and the manual says it should be done using a vacuum pump. Even after showing the mechanic photos of the procedure the dealership is nearly refusing to bleed the hydraulic system using a vacuum pump because they don't have one.
In regards to knowing the mechanics of your bike, you simply don't have the tools and facilites to do anything other than minor maintenance to a R1150GS alongside the road not to mention the parts you need. Your forced to depend on a dealship for something's and not all dealerships are equal....
If those that know your bikes mechanics so well can tell me if it's important to bleed the hydraulic clutch system with a vacuum pump it would be greatly appreciated.
