12k miles...geez. I've never gotten more than 8000 our of my front tire.

Thanks much for this video. I'll replace the brake pads for my R1200RT now.

Thank you very much! Greetings from Germany!😊

Is the GS911 the only reader you recommend? I was going to try to change the oil on my 2020 r1250r and need a way to reset that annoying maintenance reminder msg. I saw some others on Amazon that are much cheaper than the GS911.

If you are only replacing rear brake pads there is no need to remove the caliper, only if you want to do a cleaning. But if you take out the caliper you must use Thread lock compound to the T40 screws (manual says to replace the screws too)

Shouldn't the ABS sensor be removed and tied back safely out of the way? Also......you NEVER use a torque wrench to break loose any bolts, otherwise great vid and thanks for making it. :)

Thanks, I'm going to try this

Thanks for this video, it saved $150 hour that BMW charges. BTW I use Rotella T6. Shell Pennzoil makes BMW oil most likely is exactly the same.

I paid way more through the dealership😮

Thank you for taking time to produce this. I'm currently working on replacing the TPMS sensor on my r1200 gsa so this video will come in handy.

Very clear and helpful

Hello! Thank you for this video! Helped out greatly!

Do know if there is a maintenance manual available to buy?

Thank you for making these videos! The details, especially the torque numbers are a tremendous help. This has given me the confidence to perform the 12,000 mile service myself. Again, thank you!

There must be a better way to find the TDC position. usually the valves gear or shaft have a marking.

Great video Kurt. Thank you

I appreciate the video. After washing and rinsing, I used a salad spinner to remove the excess water from the liner pads, and it worked flawlessly.

SALUDOS SEÑOR, QUESTION ?? IF I BUY FROM YOU, DO YOU DO MEXICO SHIPING ???????

thank you

I remember the old days when you would regularly check your tyre pressures with a simple guage.

Wassup old fart!

Another step to make putting the filter cover back on is to remove the little wings, it makes the side panels stretch a little more to slip the lid back on and off.

Is it necessary to remove the caliper?

Only BMW would use Velcro

Did you use screw glue? Thx

Yes the Grub screws torque is 6Nm not 19Nm!

Correct placement of spacer @ 4:38.

Thank you, Sir.

Hi where to buy it?

Neat video. Not sure about leaving the panels on the bike by removing only the screws to release the next panel. I do this procedure twice a year on my RT and take the opportunity to remove all the Tupperware to clean the bike and check all the cable connectors. It really doesn’t take much longer and mitigates the risk of the panel getting damaged by being flexed against the remaining screws. Still, you’re right that it’s a faff to do the strip down and re-assembly, but it’s worth it to save money and do a more thorough job than most dealers would. The one that bugs me most with the current RT models is the battery replacement - it’s ’conveniently’ located behind the right hand side panels and even once the panels are off it’s a bu66er to get out! The previous models from 2005-2014 had the battery behind the tank under the front seat. Also much easier to get jump start leads onto the terminals. Still, it’s all part of the fun of owning and maintaining RTs! Keep up the good work!

Love these videos… but I’m a little surprised that the gap wasn’t checked on the spark plug before installation!

I set my 1/4” torque wrench to 10 NM on the front and on the way my Speed Bleeder valve sheared in two. Now I’m stuck. Very frustrating

Fantastic video! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you.

Thank for the Video.

Thank you

Add soap and water with the tooth brush and clean before pushing the pistons in

Thanks for the video very clear and easy to understand. Question : when you mention keep min-max oil to make sure is not lowing min in both reservoirs is this prior obd connection and starting the process ? Second comment: Obd GS-911 is pretty expensive to purchase in order to save $250 not considering new valves and plastic pouch . This process done at 1 year and every 2 years after. Is a better saving out there by using the obd ?

Very useful video. Thank you from Spain

Just ordered my 12,000 mile parts from PacMoto. Way cheaper than BMW plus I get these awesome how-to videos. 10 Stars!

God damn it. I just did my rear brakes and didnt transfer the shim to the new pad.... Wish I watched this before I went ahead and did it 😂😂

So, completed my repair this morning. Taking the right side guide rail off is actually a lot simpler than it seems. No filing necessary. Just used a small pair of needle nose vise grips, and using hand pressure only (not locking them) to hold the upper machine screw, broke the tension loose on the lower then unscrewed the guide from the top screw with my fingers. Slid it down, took the broken bracket off, installed the new one and put it back together. All together about 10 minutes of work from the first to last screw turn. But probably could do it faster.

"How to replace this thing" should have called it, "how do jury rig a solution to fixing this thing" Gee thanks man.

No cleaning of any parts or grease on the pin?

Is it necessary to torque the drain plug to 20 Nm knowing it is in oil? Would a lower torque ( 15 Nm ) be ok ? On the label of the oil container, BMW advises us to use the oil in the 4 years following the production date. Is that important? Thank you sir, Marc Quebec Canada 🇨🇦😉🏍

does anyone know what is the Product # for the Spacer? i accidentally lost it and now not able to locate the Product# for it, i have a 2016 GSA , any response will be much appreciated.

مشكور يالذيب

The bmw regulator rectifier specs for a 2014 gs caution not for use with lithium batteries? Do you think you might cause damage to your bikes charging system?

nice, never heard of these speed bleeders. Are they pretty tough or do they add any fragility to the bike?

Really good video, spot on!
