The video was recorded in the highest quality possible. It plays well, and clearly, on a
standard video player. Although every effort was made to accommodate all types of video
players, some computers, especially laptops, may experience reduced quality video.
Even though I have proceeded in a somewhat linear direction, there is no need to remove
the fuel tank when doing a simple valve check/adjust, or changing most of the fluids.
For Tool lists, credits, links, and maintenance schedules, please see the JVB Productions
Website and view the R1200 “Camhead” link.
During the oil change, make sure the old filter seal is not stuck to the mating surface on the
engine before installing the new seal.
The bashplate shown is not on all 2010+ R1200GS and Adventure models. One similar to
the older versions is often found. See my R1200 24K Service Pictorial to see the
differences: http://www.jimvonbaden.com/R1200_24K.html
If you find any discrepancies, or have any suggestions for improvements or additional video
productions, please contact Jim Bade at JimVonBaden@msn.com
