Next time you're in the garage, get out a 6 mm hex and a T-40 Torx and see which one fits the final drive fill plug better. I think it'll be the 6 mm hex. Right after I got my R1250RS a friend gave me a master list of torque values and fastener sizes for the BMW 1200/1250 R-bikes, and it says 6 mm hex for that little filler plug. No matter - I have all of your RS maintenance videos saved. Thank you for the clear and concise narration, good camera angles, etc.

Thanks for the video - simple, easy, and clean job! I am getting close to getting a older R1200R and trying familiarize myself with the basic maintenance procedures. I realize that the video is ~ old, but was helpful for me anyway. Much appreciated.

Not sure what year your "older" R1200R is but if it is the 2015 and onwards model then many of the basic maintenance videos for the RS would apply or at least be helpful.

220ml of oil is for the initial break in period only. 180ml of oil is used at first service and all other services.Exceeding this amount runs the risk of causing oils seals to blow.Motul V300 75-90.by far the best oil to use.

By opening the filler plug you allow atmospheric pressure to assist in pushing the old oil, and debris if any, out the drain hole as soon as same is removed.

Thanks, I changed mine before watching this video. The last time I had it changed was at a BMW dealer in Clarkston Washington and they overfilled it. They installed 220 ml instead of 180 ml. Just goes to show, you’re better off doing it yourself. One note…. When you use a torque wrench, do not continue to click the wrench, it adds more torque everytime you click it. It is “one and done”………

@GrumpyGoat 2 жыл бұрын
Depending on the fastener I stop at the first click. Others I want just a tad more hence the second click. After a while you settle on which fasteners you like to snug a tad more. 🙂

Awesome job! The only critique I'd give is to replace the copper fill gasket as it slightly "work hardens" a bit when compressed...making it a bit harder to seal.
@GrumpyGoat
@GrumpyGoat 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks. Good comment and I agree. However in a pinch it can be reused and since it is at the top and there is no pressure inside, it is not that critical to have a replacement every time. I have had no issues so far. 🙂

That must have been the first oil change of the final drive because the oil that came out was "black" as was mine in my 2016 R1200 GSA LC. I cannot say with 100% certainty (too many on the internet do so without knowing the facts), but I would bet BMW used a MoS2 additive at the initial fill much like the Dow Corning M Gear Oil Additive I add to my R100 GS final drive and transmission at 5% to a mineral oil (I believe DC stated it to be used with mineral oils only unless that has changed). Mineral does not turn black even when run tens of thousands of miles or kilometers.

I have the 2016 BMW K1300S . Changing the rear drive gear oil is not as easy as for the R1200RS. It appears that I have to remove the rear tire to access the drain and filler plugs. I'm, searching for a video for the K1300S. However without a center stand I won't be able to do it myself. Oh well, to the dealer I go. Thanks again. Your video was really well done.

Thanks very much for a very useful video. I see that you have three threaded holes without screws in them in the final drive. My R1250RS has the same. What is the purpose of these threaded holes and should they have a screw in them to prevent dirt getting in at minimum?

George thanks. This swingarm is shared with the GS which has a so-called "possum scraper" rear fender fitted, and it is attached to the swingarm. I have not put any screw in them to stop dirt but its a good idea ... screws are cheap. 😁

The oil coming out of this rear wheel drive was exactly like mine at 4000 km. ( late first service ) I filled about 400 ml oil and ran the bike for a few minuttes, and drained this just to wash the internals, before filling the correct 180 ml into the drive. I will now change the rear wheel drive oil together with motor oil untill oil coming out looks clean.
@GrumpyGoat

Robort Kristensen I like the idea about washing it in this way. Might be a good idea to just get some cheap gear oil of similar weight to do the washing before refilling with 180 ml of the good stuff.

Hi there grumpy goat do you think it's worth spending £280 for a 6000 miles service from bmw when I think the guy said only oil and filter will be changed which I can happily do myself, and I'll watch your video on how to change the shaft oil . Do you do your own service or you take it back to bmw
@GrumpyGoat
@GrumpyGoat 7 жыл бұрын
I would ask him how much it would cost if you did the oil change yourself. That is what I usually do and it saves a good bit of money. They are then left to do the checks, adjustments, and computer check-up including software updates if applicable. The 6000 mile service is a bit more than an oil change so it would be worth it to ask.

Dave - Yes, the drain plug uses a 45mm Torx bit and the fill plug conveniently uses something different - 40 mm Torx. Why they could not make the size common for both is beyond me. Sizes are stated 38 seconds into the video. 😉

First of all i want to thank you for screwing up the job and leaving my bike oiless and stranded. you had me strip the filler plug following the tools i meed t45 and t40.. t45 worked great and drained the oil, now going to the plug with t40 and striping it out, thought it is over torque so i put more pressure, then turned up to be a 6mm hex screw for the filler plug! Do u have any idea how can i fill it now other than flipping the bike upside down and fill it from the drain plug!
