BMW R Nine T Oil Change DIY

[@michaelbuffaloe8476]

Nice, straightforward video. Thanks for the links. Just finished my first oil change!

[@maskready7595]

Fantastic intro and explanation. You've got a happy viewer here. I'll soon be getting my R9T, so very useful

[@petkoandreev7869]

Awesome video! One thing I wanted to point out was you should not apply more clicks with the torque wrench because although small pressure the wrench does add some more. One click is enough

[@killerb5726]

I was debating getting the scrambler version of this bike or the Ducati Desert Sled. If it was just based on oil changes, this one would win hands down. Nice job on covering this.

[@Slycarlo]

Very informative video simple and into a point

[@bimmerfan6538]

Straight to the point! Love it

[@swiatek83]

Great video. I will finally DIY

[@SimpleCarGuy]

You can do it!

BTW, the tool kit on these bikes is tucked under the fuel tank where it meets the seat. I didn't think I had a kit either and stumbled upon it one day. And the tool to remove the oil fill cap is in that kit.

[@sheltonlp]

My '21 Pure didn't come with one, I just went to the dealer and had them take my stock one off and I replaced with a Gilles that has a hex hole

[@StitchDGlitch]

Now I gotta look 😮 I bought mine used and thought the same thing!

[@clementquirder]

I used to open the oil cap with a screw driver too but then of course one day i slipped and scratched just bought the tool on alie express for peanuts

[@ricorodriguez3579]

Bro, please buy an oil cap removal tool, it's like 8 bucks. I'm sure that cap is way more expensive than the tool to be taking a screw driver to it, lol. Thanks for the vid, I just finished my service... $8 tool, hehe. Thanks

How did you reset the oil change light?

[@Deetroiter]

I'm used to owning Moto Guzzi motorcycles and have been considering an R nineT Pure but I don't know a single thing about BMW motorcycles, as far as owning one or the maintenance required. Guzzi's are great bikes in their own right with ease of ownership and maintenance, etc but the achilles heel is that there's practically zero dealer presence in the US when compared to BMW, which is pretty much within a stones throw in any direction. Plus, getting parts from Italy is a journey in itself if the local sources don't have the parts. I'd imagine the Germans and the BMW shops are much better as far as getting parts for the bikes. How's the experience been with you bike? Has there been any issues with it or oil consumption, etc? I do use my bikes for commuting, city, long distance, etc riding so I need something that would be able to handle that reliably.

[@StitchDGlitch]

It’s a 2 cylinder box bike, it’ll eat some oil, it’s just recommended to check oil level every 500 miles. I absolutely love my 2021 r nineT.

[@Levente20]

so you can pour all the 4 liters in or how much?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Yes, 4 liters

[@bm7760]

BMW does not recommend moly-based oils as it attacks coated components.

[@henning6337]

The handle of the original on board tools / screwdriver ist the tool to open the oil cap! 😉

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Very true and you can buy them on eBay as well, but I don't have one and didn't want to spend the money :)

[@zygfryd2748]

exchange is not the end. How to delete the oil change information on the board computer / counter? Can this be done using a combination of buttons or only BMW service?

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

You need a computer.

[@lolok3478]

@@afellowinnewengland6142 not really, an android app does the job: Motoscan

[@tomtaylor6163]

Get ready to change out the cheap plastic fuel quick disconnect fittings with the metal ones. Buy the complete kit before you get stranded when they leak gas all over your motor and electrical.

[@zefini7397]

Porque usar óleo de especificação JASO MA2 (indicado para embreagens úmidas) se essa motocicleta é de embreagem seca?.

[@StitchDGlitch]

It’s a dry clutch system

[@zefini7397]

​@@StitchDGlitch..Sim, mas vc colocou óleo de especificação JASO MA/ MA2 para motos de embreagem úmida, porquê?.

[@StitchDGlitch]

@@zefini7397 I myself would stay with oem recommended oil 🫶

[@David-vb8tg]

The screwdriver to open that cap. Sooper crusty behaviour.

[@johnclark1925]

😎🤘

[@NarenPatel]

Always fill new oil filter with new oil before replacing.

[@stuste964]

Why?

[@NarenPatel]

@@stuste964 when you put in the filter without adding oil first there is a duration of time that oil is not being pumped. its takes 2 mins to fill up the filter with oil why wouldn't you

[@fabrizioverrastro2897]

per il tappo olio sulla testata devi usare la chiave specifica. con il cacciavite non va bene

[@Levente20]

so the drainplug you open it counter clockwise?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Standard. Lefty loosy
