Thanks for sharing this! Do you by any chance remember the measurements for the oil drain plug? I need to order a new seal/gasket ring for my upcoming oil change premiere :p
The gasket or crush washer is a BMW Gasket ring A16X20. Part Number: 07 11 9963252 this the genuine part number but they are available on eBay and you can use the part number to search for them. They normally come with a service kit. hope this of so help
Cheers Rudy I use a straight forward mineral oil, the engine I feel is a little old technically being essentially an air/oil cooled four valve motor but still a very reliable one so I hope the mineral oil is a little more sympathetic in technical terms, but I know of many R1100s owners that use semi synthetic or fully synthetic
I have one with 65,000 miles on it and it runs like a beast, uses almost no oil in 5000 mile runs between changes I paid $2950usd with 55k miles , on eBay for him and I’ve put 10,000 more miles essentially trouble free. I would confidently ride mine from Miami to Seattle without hesitation. There are many low mileage examples on eBay right now for between 4-8000usd The boxer cup editions are more money but they usually have very low mileage because they’re collectors bikes. The ONLY bike I’d trade mine for is a newer one or an r1200s They’re real jack of all trades road bikes, they tour well, they’re sporty enough to excite the rider and they’re fairly low maintenance machines. I couldn’t be happier with mine.
It's stand from Germany ( BMW-S-Lifter)from a company called Becker-Technik they cost around 75 euros but I think you can get them through ebay or amazon many thanks for your comment. Here is a link to their web sitewww.becker-technik.de/BMW-S-Lifter/BMW-S-Lifterenglisch/body_bmw-s-lifterenglisch.html
The bike you ride appears to need a few "special" tools even just for basic servicing.Being BMW,no doubt they aren't cheap to buy either.My CBR600 is likely easy to service without any special tools,the only thing that gets on my tits is having to remove all the fairings(and waiting for a dry few days,as I haven't got my 2nd shed built yet)even for removing the plugs.When I finally get the shed up,the CBR is due a new cam chain(fingers crossed it doesn't snap beforehand)and the carbs setting up properly(though I discovered why it seems gutless,I'm 18 stone & my daughter is 14 stone so dragging 32 stone around even a litre bike would seem gutless lol)I'm going to have to start doing any maintenance myself as it cost me £400 just to get it's last MOT and I can't afford those kinds of bill on a bike that only cost £600 to buy.
Because the Beemer is 14 years old it is basically an air cooled four valve motor with push rods with mechanical injection so I'm hoping to be able to do most of the servicing myself. I've also joined the BMW owners club so any special tools needed I can loan them from them and the members are very knowledgeable so any problems there's normally someone always willing to help and give advice. I've got a garage but there's not much room in it at the moment it seems to have become a dumping ground so I need to sort it out. ride safe and I'll look forward to see how you get on editing with Sony vegas I have an old version myself but have just been using the UA-cam editor at the moment
the only special tool needed is the filter socket which can be bought a normal car parts store. also these bikes have dry clutches so you can use normal automotive engine oil and basic 80w-90 oil for the transmission and final drive. those savings alone will outweigh the cost of the oil filter socket.
the music put me to sleep, boring damn crap. I personally would much rather unlike everyone else here have the chap explain what he is doing with NO music.
Very helpful, and even soothing to watch, thanks for posting!

How much oil?

Will be getting round to it very soon so hopefully will post a video thanks for watching

Your wife is gonna kill you. You spilled the oil all over the place. :D :D :D
Nice video thanks for the instructions.
Small question what's the "paddock stand" your using in the middle of your motorcycle?

The dude didn't tell you what size allen wrench to use And it was hard to tell where the drain plug was located
Didn't say what size filter wrench to use either
Your homemade oil pan totally sucks.
Is this a pun? I think it’s ingenious.

Go make your own video then
Mute is a wonderful thing!
