Servicing a BMW R 1200 RT 2011 (part 1 of 3)

Welcome back, everyone! This is the first part of the maintenance I'm performing on my new motorcycle, a 2011 BMW R 1200 RT. Yes, I've sold my Moto Guzzi V85. You can find the video about that motorcycle here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn2lkJmZnLurn5Ysi=vOo0FmBGqqjsSn2X . I like to do preventive maintenance on a used motorcycle that I've purchased. It gives me peace of mind to know the maintenance history of the bike I'm riding. That way, I don't have to worry. In the next part, I'll be working on the brakes. So, subscribe and stay tuned for my videos!

Hey Man, Looking good ..! UR… A few years since the xv750 mods. I still have my xv1000 midnight special.. It’s a love affair for Yamaha I guess. My 79’ R100 GS was like this one . Drive shaft is a first respondent. If it packs up when overtaking it’s ‘coytenz’ for the unfortunate rider. Safety first is essential. Next swing arm trim and then Front brakes I would of thought .

Great to see you back, your XV videos were brilliant. Still have my XV920. Looking forward to your new videos 🤘🏻

Hey Pepijn, good to see that you're not bored... The Mg has now received its 10000 service and I have put on some more accessories, including crash bar, tank ring, navigation holder and elevation for the handguards. Greetings from Dokkum

Hi Ton! How nice to hear from you and so nice you are happy with the bike. Please make it your own and enjoy all of the following kilometers!

[@GarysnewYT]

Hello There Chiefpep, I'm glad you are making videos again. You do a great job of presentation and instructions. I loved all of your Yamaha Virago project 750cc project. Please continue on with your educational videos and thank you very much for all your work. 😊 From Gary in Arizona 🌵

Very nice work. Had one, now I’m rolling the 2022 model (always RTs 😉). Can’t wait for part 2. Cheers.

Nice to see you again!

Which one is the more convenient for service? ST1300 or 1200RT

[@chiefpepdesign]

I think the BMW... I will talk about it extensively in a review video which will follow soon!

[@fredkriek539]

@@chiefpepdesign but the ST1300 is less expensive to buy...

[@chiefpepdesign]

@@fredkriek539 Doesn't make that of a difference. But, the ST has a nicer bottom power...

Hi i am interested in buying the same year bmw how much would this cost at a bmw dealership? I am an novice mechanic so i wouldn't attempt it myself.

[@chiefpepdesign]

There are, as far as I know, no 'universal' prices all over the world for bikes or repairs... Best is to go to your local dealership and ask these questions in person.

@@chiefpepdesignthey can get expensive BMW motorcycle in general because of the maintenance intervals correct?

[@chiefpepdesign]
