On Tuesday, the service on my motorcycle was done by BMW Bierbaum in Eisenstadt. I told them my plans and they were kind enough to let me watch. The mechanic gave me a few tips on what to take care of during the journey. They also gave me a discount when paying. I can do smaller operations, like changing the air filter, I also tried to change the front wheel, which was ok. I will have a closer look when the next oil change is done. That way I can save a little money on maintenance. It was definitely interesting to get a glimpse on how things work.
Of course it would be good, if I would have more skills. But everyone has his job. Just as the mechanic disassembles and reassembles the bike, I do it with a computer. The principle is somewhat similar, in the end the thing must run without problems again.
The last parts are installed now, like the protection for the shock absorbers and the chain oiler. The radiator protection is DIY and should keep the worst away on gravel roads.
The bike is ready for shipping.
