If you make an aluminum foil trough under the filter you can usually get all the oil that comes out of the filter in the drain pan without getting it on the headers
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Angelo Eduardo thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great video ! The K1200 has the kickstand blocking the oil filter. Quite a challenge for a 71 year old man to balance a bike and remove a stuck filter at the same time.
Just a quick tip. According to the RSD there is 1/2 liter difference between the Min & Max marks. This is a fantastic bike with great sound and the quick shift is just plain fun.
Awesome! that helped me today. Can someone please explain why bmw k1200s have a oil reservoir instead of wet sump? There got to be a reason for it I mean.
Sight windows on a wet sump engine are a pain to look at because of how low they are, which is why I prefer a dip stick. You've got it easy on a dry sump engine.
Thank you for the Wet / Dry Sump comment. I've owned Japanese 4s since 1970 and just bought a K1200 Removing the kickstand to change a filter made a simple task difficult. I wondered why there was so much oil left AFTER removing the drain plug
Thanks for your video. I followed your directions and also opened the oil plug to let the oil drain from the bottom. The K1300S is supposed to take 4 liters with the oil filter changed. I added 4 liters but the oil level stayed beneath the minimum marker next to the plastic tube. Does that mean I need to add more oil until the level reaches between the minimum and maximum markers?
@@MattsMotoWoRX I'll do that. Apparently between the low and high marker takes half of a liter. The oil level on mine is currently about the same distance but below the low level marker. I will add between 1/4 and 1/2 liter of oil. Thanks again.
@@MattsMotoWoRX I checked the oil level at both the dipstick and the plastic tubing from the oil reservoir after riding the motorcycle for 10 miles. The level was where it was supposed to be on the dipstick and at the plastic tubing it was just above the minimum. So, no additional oil was needed. I simply had to ride the bike for a few miles and then immediately check the levels. Again, thanks for the well done video.
Hello brother thank you for the video. I have been looking at one of these bikes for a while. I see one where i live with low miles only 158 and mint condition i was wondering what kind of problems if any have you had? And how do you like the bike. The one iam looking at is a 2006 K1200s. Yellow and black. Its a beautiful bike but i am comming from Suzuki's ..lol if you go to my page you'll see the bikes i have owned in the past. Thank you
Matt, ok. I was just enquiring because where you have to pass the oil line, it can get damaged if one isn’t careful. Ok do let me know if it works but I think it would.
Hello. Thank you for you video. Do you know what size of tool I need to rémoise the oil filter please ? Is it a 74 or 76 mm. And how many facettes. 12 or 14 ? Thank for your help. Richard france 🇫🇷
Hi Matt, I believe if you do not remove the plastic hose to drain the oil and only remove the bottom bolt + filter you can drain all the oil, am I wrong? Thanks a lot for the vídeos! Greetings from Brazil!
Hercules Piazzo This is the way BMW recommends it be done. I am always open to new ways to try it. I’ll try just pulling the drain plug next time I get one in for service and see if works. Thanks for checking out the videos
@@MattsMotoWoRX Thanks a lot for your reply! I will try too when I change the oil and let you know if I do it first 😉. Thanks again and greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷✌🏻
Jake Lebon Part number is KN-160 I like to use the BMW brand oil for these personally but as long as it meets all the requirements for the bike it will be fine
There are like 47 videos on how to change the oil, in this bike, this is the only one that addresses changing the oil filter, and yet even this one compleatly skips over how to remove the fairing to get to the oil filter to begin with.

Removing the drain plug first makes changing the filter a lot less messy 😉
I’ve got a 1300GT so this is REALLY helpful as I’m doing my oil change myself for the first time. Thanks Matt!

Thanks so much you really help me out :D
@Daniel Lance no problem xD
Nice clear simple video with good audio👍🏼
The chripin on the background is the ideal background sound for this type of video. Added to my k1300s video maintainance list :)
Great video ! The K1200 has the kickstand blocking the oil filter. Quite a challenge for a 71 year old man to balance a bike and remove a stuck filter at the same time.
Don't you have a center stand?
Center stand was an option. Most don't have them.
Maybe a center stand is a good return on investment versus getting the oil changed from a dealer and/or seeing the bike lieing down on the floor 😮
Just a quick tip. According to the RSD there is 1/2 liter difference between the Min & Max marks. This is a fantastic bike with great sound and the quick shift is just plain fun.
Can you quick shift on downshifts on this bike ?
@@azr2d1 only upshifts!
Excellent video and instructions, thanks Matt.
Thanks for this very helpful video 👍🏻
very good tip to heat up the bike before oil change!!
This K1300 is better than the K1200 I followed.1st
Removing the oil from the top tank before draining from the bottom makes sense.
Awesome! that helped me today.

A big help to me with your vids , thanks 👌

i will use the same way on K1200s

So wait how did the oil get flowing out through what seems to be a ventilation hose?

If it’s on the low side just add a little bit

Hi Mat , TY for your videos .. Have you video about cooling replace ?? . Thanks ¡¡
Gabriel I did make a video for the coolant change and bleed procedure

Why is it necessary to remove the oil line under the seat when there is a drain plug under the oil pan?
Colville Titus To be honest it’s how BMW recommends it be done. Not sure 🤔
Matt’s MotoWoRX I understand but find it odd as the fluid will flow downwards regardless
Colville Titus Next K1300 I have in the shop I will see if I can just pull the drain bolt
Matt, ok. I was just enquiring because where you have to pass the oil line, it can get damaged if one isn’t careful. Ok do let me know if it works but I think it would.
Because this is a dry sump bike, the drain bolt on the engine will release only the residual oil that wasn't pumped back up to the reservoir.

It's a dry sump system.
@@robertbrandywine thanks!
great vid. and thanks. Is the oil change the same for a K1200GT (2008)? I'm thinking it is
GSXR1300X it’s the same as far as I know.
Why do BMW put a 12v socket by the gear leaver???? 🤷♂️
It took me 2 days to damage charger 😒
Can you just skip the drainhose and only do the drain plug to drain oil ?? (and filter ofcourse)
No because the oil is stored in the sump tank and it won’t drain back into the engine
@@MattsMotoWoRX ah, ok. Good to know.
Let me point at the oil filter....
What's that tube you removed from the bike near the oil fill?
That is the oil level hose.
Matt, what is the correct capacity? My owners manual states two different values, both say WITH a filter change. One says 3.5 l, the other 4 l.
Hi my friend. 3,5L without filter change.
nice video ...whats the K&N code # filter? what oil do you use?
Jake Lebon Part number is KN-160
I like to use the BMW brand oil for these personally but as long as it meets all the requirements for the bike it will be fine
Thank you , nice videos
So is this a dry sump machine given how remote the oil filling location is?
stuckintraffic?getabike! Yes it is a dry sump engine
How much oil was roughly trapped in the oil pan ?
Not much maybe 1/2 quart
@@MattsMotoWoRX Thank you

You do not need to remove the fairing to access oil filter. Sump contains only residual oil, so oil tank must be drained.
yeah you dont need to remove the fairing to get to filter drain bolt or the sight line...
