You guys put out some of the best content (e.g. good video angles and lighting, stating each tool/fluid needed and torque spec as it happens, neither too slow or fast and no obnoxious music background etc.) Only thing I'd suggest would be a single list of all the items needed in the descriptions or a link to google doc or your business page showing the needed items. Depending on your business model, it might help drive added revenue by bringing people to your pages.
Best clarity video of ANY! LIGHTING, cameraa, aim at work and, and specifics are gtrat. No mudahe conversation, as your camera man speaks clearly with his lens!
Got to say that was one of the best final drive servicing videos I have seen. Okay I have a R1200RT, but the principles are basically the same. Nice one.
Thank you for posting this. This one and your other one have been super helpful while I worked on my '12 GS....so far so good! I'm putting it back together now. Also, I love the no talking, and text showing what size tool and torque is needed...very good!
Thanks for the great video. I used it as a guide while performing this service on my bike yesterday. Noticed the front boot had some cracks that were not all the way through yet. I ordered the boot and will replace it the next time I grease the final drive. I'm sure I'll be watching this video to refresh my memory when it comes time to do the job again.
I'm planning to replace the rubber boots on my 2007 GS. Excellent tech instruction. I'm confident to tackle the task. Shawn said it as it is. A big thank you, Frogs Angles
You're welcome. Make sure that the swingarm is torqued properly using a 12mm Allen key and a 30mm socket as shown in the video. If you live in the UK, you can buy a long 30mm socket in Halfwords and make a hole with a disk cutter. No need to buy an expensive BMW dedicated tool. I can send you some photos if you want.
All you need is a few tools, a bit of time to spare and the job is done. Make sure you tighten the left swing arm bolt to the correct torque setting. The initial torque is 10Nm as shown on the video. All the best mate. 👍
Thanks for putting in the torque specs, love your home made tool with the allen. Also like that you show what you are using, I am a big fan of Loctite 243. Thanks again good job. Denis Kerechuk.
very well-done job, excellent video, I have an R1200R 2007 and it's basically the same, BMW made some homework on those bikes so on the new models you do not have to disassemble the whole rear arm in order to extract the driveshaft and that is a beauty. I managed somehow to replace the boots and grease the splines without taking off the rear arm...but it was not easy to connect back the shaft to its place.
The service manual mentions that after swinging the final drive up and engaging the driveshaft and replacing the bolt. the lock nut is not reusable and only a new nut should be used. I reused the old nut as you did with locktite and I noticed later that the nut came loose and backed off. The service manual was correct and we should use a new nut.
Another great video!!! Next, alternator belt, break fluid, air filter and with all the rest done à few months ago, that is a fully serviced bike, cheers my dear
You're very welcome mate. I use the Haynes manual a lot and I bought myself the BMW service manual CD rom which gives plenty of photos on how to do things. Real saver. A bit of tools grease and lub and off you go!!!.
Awesome Video,people like you are worth their weight in gold, I have to do this job shortly, discovered it today 😔Only tool I haven't got is the slide hammer, what size is the thread that you screwed the pin into ?
Excellent high quality video! Thank you! My only thought to improve it would to be add more direct lighting and perhaps tools/replacement seal names (affiliate links?) in the description. Regatdless, this is awesome and well-made content. Thanks much!
@@FrogsAngelsLondon....I actually think it is pretty good. Lighting was usually sufficient. I bought a NEBO HIGH BRIGHT 6000 which plugs into a regular lamp socket and allows for changing angles - only $40 in US.
I've been thinking of tackling the same job but caught up in trying to decide what lube to use on the final drive splines. BMW previously recommended Optomol Paste TA but more recently have changed to Klubergrease LFT 71-402. Interestingly and despite the inclusion of "mol" in the former, neither contain molybdenum disulphide. Why did you use Optomol paste White T?? BMW have never recommended it. Conventional wisdom would seem to suggest that a moly paste is the best lube to use but strangely, BMW have never recommended it, which is puzzling
Like several other commenter, I too am grateful for the concise and helpful video. And... I also am wondering if you could comment on what kind of grease you are using on the assembly? The ends of the boots? Thank you!
do you have any videos on how to change the front suspension oil? I need to change my GS oil, but I never did. I would like some tips. Congratulations on the video. I am from Brazil. Hugs.
Mr Frog (can I call you that).... when I service FD and grease the spline, can i extract the shaft at this point to grease the spline at the drive end? Moly grease..... your thoughts would be appreciated... school of thought on the web is 60% for spline, I am in Australia... does get rather hot, i will be guided by your instruction... thx Ed
Totally unnecessary, unless the bike was recovered from a river where it was submerged there for a week. Liked and Subscribed, the dealer would have charged $3,000 or more just in labor for what you demonstrated doing here.

@@FrogsAngelsLondon Thank you for kind offer, however I live in South Africa. I am a retired Auto mechanic and will make a plan. Many thanks.
Just found your videos, and they are an absolute godsend
Please keep it up, you are much appreciated
Cheers buddy will try my best 👍
Thanks buddy for the perfect video! My local BMW dealer wants $650 for labor and $85 for a part. NO WAY!!! I'll do it myself soon.
All you need is a few tools, a bit of time to spare and the job is done. Make sure you tighten the left swing arm bolt to the correct torque setting. The initial torque is 10Nm as shown on the video. All the best mate. 👍
Great video…I have a 2013gs..How often would I need to do this job?

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. It is very helpful and confidence inspiring.
Awesome video.
So there are no crush washers or gaskets needed for this service?
What general grease were using on the swing arm bearings and boots?
Very useful video!
Thank you so much!
You have saved me an absolute fortune with many of your videos. Thank you

Excellent video. Thanks
Excellent video!
Magnifique job.... Merci
great camera work and explanation of tools fluid and important torques 👍
You're welcome
Good video! Is that new tie wrap used to keep the rubber boot in place?
Another excellent video...👏♥️...Game enough to try it on my own now....
Give it a go mate and enjoy it! 👍

Very useful , but what are you using for the rubber boots grease wise ?
Any rubber silicone grease would do really
Like several other commenter, I too am grateful for the concise and helpful video.
And... I also am wondering if you could comment on what kind of grease you are using on the assembly? The ends of the boots?
Thank you!
What is up with BMW and Torx head bolts ?
Perfect video! How long did it take to do the whole job?
Thanks buddy. Count an hour altogether. An hour and a half with a cup of coffee or 2 hours with a nice break in between.
Thanks...!!!
Excellent job.
Thanks for the comment 👍 hope it helps
After watching this I appreciate my simple chain drive bikes. What were the engineers thinking???
Well the good thing is that you don't need to oil the chain every 200 miles.
Great video cheers
what for grease youse you ( ceramique grease ?)
do you have any videos on how to change the front suspension oil? I need to change my GS oil, but I never did. I would like some tips. Congratulations on the video. I am from Brazil. Hugs.
Very informative video , thanks for posting 👌
Glad it Helped
Sono indeciso bmw 1150 gs 50000 km del 2000 controllerò le cuffie del cardano però e euro 0 fatemi sapere qualcosa
Hello, what kind of grease it is used for the spline and brop shaft? thanks in advance. greetings from México.
Castrol Molub-Alloy White 'T' paste that can be found on Ebay easily.
@@FrogsAngelsLondon thank you very much
Mr Frog (can I call you that).... when I service FD and grease the spline, can i extract the shaft at this point to grease the spline at the drive end?

SERVIÇO TOP
nice vid. but very laborious, just pull the kardan out the back and it`ll work fine...👍
Gràcies, es un video molt educatiu; com tots els que fas.Seria bo que posessis la referència dels productes que uses o un enllaç on trobar-los.
Perfect
Why you didn't add oil from the same drain hole
Well nothing prevents you to do it that way. Try it and let me know how you got on!
@@FrogsAngelsLondon
I fill it like you did 😁, thank you for this nice vedio
@@nothingofmatters very simple job that should be done regularly. Glad it worked for you. All the best my friend.
You have to put glue and not grease in the part where you cleaned to insert the cap.

220ml !!!
180-190 ml :-]
I just drained my 2008 r1200 gsa. And it had 225ml in it. ? 🤷🏼♂️. Trying to decide how much to add back in to be correct.
