BMW S1000R Oil & Filter Change

[@bwelch888]

Well done, Wats. I've got the same bike and need to tackle the job soon. Thanks for the nice walk-through.

TOP TIP: To avoid the mess on the pipes, cover them in aluminum foil first, and shape a pathway in the foil down towards the drain pan. No mess!

[@Wats1984]

That’s a good tip! Be trying that next oil change👍

Thanks for the comment!

Good tutorial video, funny how BM put the sight glass on the other side.

[@Wats1984]

Jim Diesel thanks! I think it’s better than a tiny dipstick though. 👍

Spot on, thanks for this. Great tip below about the foil.

[@Wats1984]

Thanks for the positive comment! Yeah good tip below with the foil. 👍

Great video many thanks for sharing. Can I ask what is the normal running temperature to check the oil at. Thanks in advance and once again great video 👍

@@brynster101 thanks for the comment. I just run it till the fan kicks in. Keeping an eye on the glass. Cause if it goes empty I’d turn it off and top it up. 👍

I was looking for this type of video & glad I found this. Great tips and I'll be doing mine (I also have an s1000r) this weekend.

[@Wats1984]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MAYBE12FLY]

I just put 3.5l in and the sightglass is all the way covered, it's also like this when it comes back from the dealer and they said it's not a problem

[@chrismurray3198]

Do the hand guards make any difference in in cold conditions?

[@Wats1984]

Muz 15 thanks for the comment. Yeah I find they do. They help in the rain as well as it stops the moisture being forced into your hands. 👍

[@rotaryenforcer]

thnx for the vid bro

[@Wats1984]

Thanks for the comment ! 👍

[@eduardopagaza3461]

Hey hello!! what type of torque wrench are you using? I'm trying to find one on amazon and the minimum torque that I found is at 10 ft/lb and that translate to 13.5 NM

[@Wats1984]

Thanks for the comment. I have a bigger range one 28 to 210nm and a smaller range one that does 5 - 25nm.

[@bikemenace2145]

Great vid Wats. Is there any particular oil that you'd recommend? I'm assuming you use the premium types, also what make & type are the hand guards ? Thanks.

[@Wats1984]

Cheers! I personally don't recommend oil as its like tyres in my opinion. Everyone has there own particular brand they like and trust. Just make sure its the correct type is my main advice. The hand guards are from powerbronze. This link below will take to the ebay page for the same ones. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173925995836
