BMW S1000XR first oil change

[@pilyomotoride7781]

Still have the bike ? Any problems since owning it? 2nd oil change on my xr have the debris too .

Great tutorial. But, I too wonder how you got the plastic push pins removed so the lower fairing can come off? I couldn't get them off and ended up just working around the (pushed to the side) lower fairing. Had to use XL channel locks to remove filter too. My rubber strap remover couldn't get enough grip to vise it off, because I agree a screw driver is the wrong method.

I laughed about your correction (wrench not screwdriver).. BUT.. oil filters with the big weird tool required.. or ones that dont have a way to use a wrench.. to remove them.. most folks just stab them with a flat head screw driver.. and off they come!

I would suggest changing oil at 4000 miles and When draining oil leaning bike on left and right side to get all of oil drained out.

Really? Why change at 4000 miles? BMW requirement is 6K & I'm just a commuter....Not racing. The synthetics are capable oils for high mileage as well. Really interested to know what drives you on this one.

​@@davee6727I prefer to change the oil around 4-5 K at the latest rather than wait until 6 K. I understand the BMW recommendations but the bike shifts better with cleaner oil. That's just my opinion.

What size is the crash washer ? And torque spec for the sump nut ?? Nm

Ok cambiare l'olio,ma il problema più grosso rimane la scritta"service"

How did you remove the plastic push pins in the first place?

Push pin in center through clip.
