Thanks for this on the K1300s. Would love to see more on this model - spark plug replacement, brake fluid change, brake pad replacement and any other regular maintenance. Keep up the great work.

[@TheBMWGuy]

[@tomluciani3723]

k1300 S gear oil change is not found anywhere. Like all your videos, you are very knowledgeable...thank you

[@TheBMWGuy]

Glad to help

[@8kallday591]

Love your videos, has helped alot since Im new to BMW (04 R1150RS). Would like to see one on TB spindle bushing replacement.

[@TheBMWGuy]

Great suggestion!

[@JJWhitley]

This is the only place I could find on the web (including owners manual) of how to check the oil level on a k1200s

[@kwakkers68]

** thoughts appreciated ** Pondering on getting another K - doing some research/forward thinking > there does not seem to be much on the market > exhaust systems - plenty of cans, but little in full systems. It's many years since I had my K12, and I can't remember if the OEM pipework was stainless or not? Used units on fleabay look to have some surface corrosion - which would suggest not. Are there other options 'out there', other than the crazy priced Akra systems? Granted, they last a long time - but if you're thinking of keeping a bike any length of time, these things warrant thought, particularly as the engines will sale past 150k miles

Thanks homie

[@coolinken]

Great video. Thanks.

[@stanza77]

BMW 🤦🏾‍♂️ why was it necessary to make this engine dry sump???? Just bought a K1200s, imagine my surprise when the previous owner explained this procedure to me. ZX12r, ZX14r, Hayabusa, Blackbird all wet sump, fast and bulletproof. Hope my machine remains trouble free but I’m sure it’s gonna teach me a thing or two.

[@mantisproductions31]

I always wonder if the min/max level for oil is assuming it's straight up or on the kickstand

[@redline2022]

Hi maybe do you know how tightly to tighten the oil cap an filter?

[@theghost75]

GREAT vid and wow what a pretty bike; what yr and factory fairings?

[@SohanSwerneborg]

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.

[@capitalcars6140]

Bo suche misy są stosowane w sportowych motocyklach wyczynowych dla poprawy smarowania aby było one odpowiednie w każdych warunkach. Postawisz k1200s do pionu na koło i dalej będzie idealne smarowanie właśnie przez sucha misę. To najlepsze rozwiązanie ever

[@bravoleo4025]

yes, just make more videos-tutorials

[@Jeffst3673]

My K1200GT has some sort of screen inside the oil fill hole - it won’t come out and I can’t put a funnel in. Any thoughts? Great video!

[@TheBMWGuy]

No idea, sounds like a previous owner thing

[@paulkonar7842]

I am new to the world of BMW. I just traded my 2020 Honda Gold Wing 2 weeks ago for a 2022 K 1600 Grand America. I have a question about which engine oil you use. It appears from the video that you are using Liqui Moly. My RIDER'S MANUAL for my 2022 K 1600 Grand America says the following: "Engine oil Specification: SAE 5W-40, API SJ/JASO MA2, Additives (for instance, molybdenum-based substances) are prohibited, because they would attack the coatings on engine components, BMW Motorrad recommends BMW Motorrad ADVANTEC Ultimate oil." Is there a reason that you use Liqui Moly, knowing that it contains molybdenum?

[@TheBMWGuy]

Liquimoly is a solid oil, I am dealer for them and it’s made in Germany. I am not a chemist but it’s what they recommend for the k bikes.

[@Tax2Me]

Tight screws w/o torque specs; how come?
