Thanks for watching!

4:18....only 180 ml .....!!!!!

[@tomaal]

Hi Eberhard, that's incorrect. It's 220ml (per BMW service manual) and 220ml is the level where "it purs out" of the drain so there's no way of overfilling. But you can underfill.... top up your diff pal !!!!!

Sure would! thanks for watching

Nice. How often do you need to change the drive oil? Is there 2nd gear shifting with your bike? TX

[@tomaal]

I change it anually along witht the engine oil, 1 job 1 mess to clean up ;)

[@suazuki]

Hi, I just purchased a K1200R. It did not come with the center stand. How can I take the rear wheel out? Thanks

[@tomaal]

Hey man, all the best with the bike! Well, best option is to get the motorcycle table lift. If you're on the budget I'd recommend paddock stand for a front wheel, it's inexpensive and effective. Pop the front wheel up and then put your wooden block under the bike so it supports the frame on both sides where the center stand would be. Then lift it in the dead center of the block with the jack.

Привет,ты всё так же владеешь этим мотоциклом?

[@tomaal]

yep, still got it.

[@shaughanask571]

Hi, I just started to do mine, no easy feat without a center stand, but I do not see the drain plug where yours is. Mine is a 2008 version.

[@tomaal]

Newer Ks will have the drain plug on the bottom of the gearbox and a fill plug on the top right side (looking at the bike from the back). Even easier job there, no need to disconnect from the swinging arm ;)

[@shaughanask571]

@@tomaal I must be blind !! Damned if I can see the fill plug ! Will keep looking :) Thanks for the quick reply

[@iobenborbiliac5960]

How do you recommend we lift the bike if the bike did not come with a center stand? I have a regular floor jack and wood blocks.

[@tomaal]

@@iobenborbiliac5960 Hi Ioben, floor jack on its own will lift the bike but it won't be stable to work safely on it. You need three points of support to have a stable safe base. In your case, I'd recommend paddock stand for a front wheel, it's inexpensive and effective. Pop the front wheel up and then put your wooden block so it supports the frame on both sides where the center stand would be. Then lift it in the dead center of the block with the jack.

@@shaughanask571 Don't get a guide dog just yet. I have a 2015 K1300S. It is supposedly sealed for life but I believe the access is under the caliper and behind the wheel for drain and fill plugs.

[@TheRedcroatian]

Hey bud! Do you have specs or specific brand name for that final drive oil?

[@tomaal]

Check it out there at 4:26

[@vincehoward2908]

Your method is incorrect

Thanks for your valuable comment and thorough explanation! I love good constructive criticism :]
