Thank you for the video 1)how much force should I use for the skid plate bolt? 2)And if the oil goes over the red ring when main stand for more than 30 minutes, is there a lot of oil?
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.
Don’t forget to do the other checks they carry out, just for your own peace of mind - like checking all bolts/screws, seals including forks, brakes, etc. Just give a good overall health check. Great video though, just watching the 12K ones to familiarise myself, cheers!
You are 100% incorrect. Page 246 from the manual clearly states that the engine oil specification is SAE 5w40, API SL, JASO MA2. Many engine oils meet this specification. The BMW Advantec oil simply a recommendation, not a requirement. Furthermore, BMW simply rebrands other oils made by other manufacturers.
Thank you for this, will be doing my 6k service this weekend. What size is the crush washer? I keep getting mixed results online. 😅
The crush washer for the oil drain plug is M20.
@@PacMoto Thank you so much for the response.
Any chance you can do a valve clearance check vid for the R1250 GS?
I’ve got it recorded but I haven’t edited or published it yet. Coming soon!
Thank you for the video

1) 8 Nm, basically hand-tightened.
2) Put the bike on the center stand on a level area. The oil should be between the lines after the bike cools down.
@@PacMoto Thank you for your reply. My bike fills up the oil level gauge after a day 😭😭😭
can you do a 1600 b 2020 bmw video on oil changing
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll add it to the list of videos to make.

I hear many people use the MotoScan app. I only have experience with the GS-911.
@@PacMoto Just a follow up. I used motoscan and it worked fine.
Is this video for the 6000 miles?, and what you show on the video is all on the 6k Serv Thanks
Yes and yes.

SALUDOS SEÑOR, QUESTION ?? IF I BUY FROM YOU, DO YOU DO MEXICO SHIPING ???????
Hola amigo. Desafortunadamente el envío a México es demasiado caro. ¿Dónde vive? Voy a ir a México pronto.
Would be easier if you provide leaks
Leaks?
Nice video
Thanks.
He used the WRONG OIL folks. BMW OIL ONLY per the BOOK/MANUAL! Trust me. "I misread, my bad folks, sorry bout that, lots of love"

@@PacMoto Oh boy, let me take my foot out of my mouth. I misread the book, sorry for the outburst. Been a hard day.
It’s all good! I appreciate the feedback. Cheers.
@@PacMoto Is Shell Rotella T6 the same oil as the BMW 5W40 or do you think the BMW oil is formulated special for the BMW bikes only?
