Just purchased a new GS and up here in the UP of Michigan I do most of my service. Looking at the DVD showing valve adjustment a BMW tool was used to locate TDC. Should I buy one? Bob

I have no idea how to find that thread. Tried search and no go. .
There is an excellent video showing all the maintenance procedures on a liquid cooled R1200 available from Jim Von Baden (http://jvbproductions.com). No special tool is needed to adjust the valves.
JVB Production Video is all you need to service your wethead.
Jim just had his annual tech meeting and I think there were like 70 guys there.
I did 4 cam timings while there. I also did one valve check.
To check your valves you need no special tools. If the stamps on the end of the cams are on the top and bottom you are at TDC.
Unless you want to spend crazy money you do not need a TDC tool.

Unless a cam is way and I mean way out we probably will not notice it.
I think it is sad they are coming off the line as they are.
