BMW F 800 ST Rehab: How to Drain and Refill the Coolant
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- An MOA member who decided it was time to stop riding donated his 2008 BMW F 800 ST to the MOA Foundation to help further its cause of rider education, training and awareness. Unfortunately, the bike had been sitting for a couple of years before he reached that decision, so it needs a bit of rehab before it's ready for its next owner.
In this video, we walk you through the process to drain and refill the coolant.
Tools needed:
* T30 torx driver + ratchet + extension
* Flathead screwdriver (optional)
* Torque wrench (for reassembly)
* Funnel
Supplies needed:
* Drain pan that can hold at least 2 liters of fluid
* 50/50 mix of BMW coolant and distilled water, approx. 1.3 liters

Thank you, dear sir 🙏
Amazing job guys, 🎉
Solid how-to. Thanks for sharing!
Any time!
@@BMWMOAorg I had some difficulty finding a nitrite free antifreeze, however I found Shell Rotella ELC NF antifreeze/coolant, which is ethylene glycol based and nitrite free - so I went with that.
Had a F800st till 2016, 4 years of pleasure in AZ ZERO issues 20000 miles
Good information. Thx
Thanks for doing this video. Very complete and informative. I was having crush washer envy as I didn’t have replacements. No leaks so far haha. Thanks again.
Thanks You for the beautiful lesson
You are welcome!
Thank you for posting!
Currently looking into 2013 F800GT in very good condition with no service history. To me that means all consumables are changed and I had no idea what a coolant flush on F800 would consist of.
Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Solid work-through with many transferable pointers to other BMW models. Schmutz! Haven't heard that in while, especially in Texas-stan! Thanks for the contribution to our MOA tribal knowledge.
LOL...if your daughter finds out no amount of rinsing is going to keep you out of trouble...a little vaseline on the o-ring makes putting it in place a bit easier.
Thank's for the video....
thx.
Thank you! Nice step by step tutorial. What are the torque values for those two fasteners in either ft/lb's or nm's?
Hi - as a practice we don't include torque values because they can vary between model years and trim levels, so it's always best to look them up for your specific bike. For this work, we've been using the Haynes manual for the F 800 series, found at haynes.com/en-us/bmw/f800gs/2008-2016-0.
Hi.is this the last episode on the BMW f800 st?
No, there will be 2-3 more, including one on how to change out the drive belt.
@@BMWMOAorg great! Thanks for your ruply. Im looking forward to see them!👍
