BMW R1100RT Gearbox Oil Change

A beginners video on how to change the gearbox oil in a BMW R1100RT. If you have been too intimidated to work on your own BMW motorcycle, this is a great way to start. It is easy to do and will allow you to perform some general maintenance.

Another great video. Maybe on future videos give the ft-lb conversion for the 99% of the rest of us who use ft-lbs and/or who's torque wrenches don't show NM's. But for those out there I went online and converted. 30nm=22 ft-lbs. 23nm=17ft-lbs.

Always remove your fill bolt first. If your drain bolt is stuck your screwed.

Nice video, and thanks for sharing! By the way, it's an "original" BMW piece of cardboard, so... it's ok... :)

Another good, easy to understand video. However, you incorrectly specified the tightening torque for the drain at 30 Nm. Not sure what the Haynes manual calls for, but according to the factory service manual for the R1100RT, the tightening torque for both the fill AND drain plugs is 23 Nm.
