I do my own maintenance. I use the MotoScan app with Pro lisc. on a no-name android tablet to reset the "SERVICE" nanny, err reminder / prompt. But, the reminder comes up before it 'should', so I spent some time today and figured out why. The 'reset service reminder' "mileage" is kms, NOT...

Hello I opened the topic to gather in it all the answers for beginners.:confused: 1. Spark clearance is 0.9mm +- 0.1mm, max clearance 1.2mm ? 2. Sealing/gasket ring is 24*30*1.5 ? 3. Antifreeze g12 (nitrite free, long life, corrosion inhibitor)? In a 50:50 radio ? 4. The BMW CD has no...

Hi, Is there anyone with a GS-911 that will like to service my bike? It's on 40,000km. Thanks!

I'm the lucky purchaser of a "new to me" 2014 F800GT with approximately 1,450 miles! And after spending all that money, I'm now dreading the cost of the annual service. The seller completed the 600 mile break-in service in October 2014, but no others since then. My research on this forum...

Hi, I have a lot of G450X parts left in my garage. Let me know if you are looking for some specific part and I'll check if I have it and send you a picture, including the asking price. The parts are in Finland but I'll check the postage price when I know where the part is to be sent...

I see periodic mention of an OEM service manual CD or DVD that would include the 2013+ F800GT, but I can never seem to find it available for purchase anywhere. On Amazon, there is a BMW "RepRom" up to and including 2013 models, but it is "currently unavailable"... Any pointers on where I can...

Hi Everyone, I just purchased a 2011 F800ST with only 475 miles on it. I was trying to figure out what service it would need. The manual didn't have a service schedule as far as what needed to be done at certain intervals. I don't seem to be having any luck finding information on line either. I...

Here is a copy of an email I have just sent. I will let you all know how it works out. Dear Sirs, Four weeks ago I brought my BMW F800s into your dealership to have the rear bearing looked at under recall. While booking the bike into your service department I mentioned that the...

Hi Folks, I just bought a new 800 GT and am planning to do a 4 trip to the Netherlands, this will be about 1500 KM. This will be on top of about 100-200 KM I will have done before the trip in the city. The first service is stated to be held at 1000 KM. Do you think I should do this trip on the...

Had my 09 registered 800s 24k 'service' at Allan Jefferies in Baildon in June 2013. As per the previous service it was handed back overfilled with oil. Although only 250ml this time, previous time was 500 ml, so I suppose they are getting better. When I went to pick it up there was a list of...

I've got my bike in for it's running in service this weekend - we've manage to cover nearly 900 miles :-). What does it entail - any ideas or are the mechanics just nipping round the bike to tighten up nuts and bolts?[:I]

Hi Guys This is my first post. Been looking around on the forum for some guidelines regarding the 20 000km service, or just a major service in general. Any tips for tackling it? special tools needed? Thanks

Bonjour Je viens tous juste de reprendre ma moto chez mon concessionnaire, pour la revision 1000km. Le travail semble bien fait, c'est bon. Mais la facture est plutot sale. 2 heures @ 90.00$ can 8 demi liter huile BMW @ 3.25$ 1 Filtre a huile @ 20.86$ 1 Gasket pour boulon de drainage...

What sort of Service prices are you all experiencing on the 12K service for the F800ST? Mine is coming up and I am wondering how they are. I am not mechanic... I'm a rider... I ride them to death, and paY mechanics to service, and keep them together.

Hello. This is my first post as a new member. Apologies if this or similar questions have already been posted by others but I wonder if any of you F800st riders recommend a place that does actual/proper service anywhere in the UK? (Although preferably to the south of the country where I live). I...

Having just seen Duncans post on the cost of his 24K mile service http://f800riders.org/forum/showpost.php?p=295913&postcount=104 At just under £2K I wondered just what the real cost of running the bike is. Most if not all of that cost is service items so no cover under warranty or extended...

Ok we get plenty of moaning about BMW dealers being slow with repairs and having blank looks when asked about issues that have been know to BMW for ages. So I thought it would be useful to re-dress the balance a bit. I'm sure most owners of BMW will agree that their expectation is of quality...

Well out of warranty now so time my bike had a real hands on service. Parts all ordered from Motorworks (great selection) First up I got a proper silver oil filter (so all those dealers that tell you black is all there is are telling porkies) And I'm moving to Semi Synth oil. Started on it...

Some of you may have already noticed, in the HOW I've put up most of the data you need, quantity, quality, torque values etc for servicing the 650 or 800. I'm also slowly (very) putting together a list of the special tools you need for various servicing needs but the manual is rather lengthy so...
