BMW R1300 Series Service Video

This BMW R1300 video covers all of the following bikes and is designed to allow you to complete all the requirements for maintaining your bike to BMW specifications. It is designed for the BMW R1300 series (Arrowhead) 2024 and newer motorcycles* though it is centered around the R1300GS since that is what I had available for filming.

*Covered Motorcycle(s):

• 2024 to present R1300GS
• 2024 to present R1300GS/GSA/RT/R**
• 2024 to present R1300RS

Note: Special Tools are required for valve shim changes and Cam Timing setting.

Note: I will be adding a tutorial on removing the body panels on the R1300 series motorcycles to the Updates section, and below, in the future as new models become available to me.

**The R1300R and R1300RS have conventional forks which are not covered in this video. All other service items are the same. I will make YouTube videos to cover these as the bikes become available to me.

I have included the necessary tools, supplies and torque specifications to complete all the listed services. I have also added many helpful tips and notes to make this as simple as possible.

A typical 6K service will run you around $300-350, depending on location. The brake bleed alone can run as high as $300.

What I did not include, since I felt they were self-explanatory, was how to check your oil, tires and lights.

The video should assist those of you on the fence in deciding you CAN do these expensive services yourself, and save money for those all-important farkles, and gas for riding! It is also an excellent resource for those looking to see what the dealer does during a typical service.

The video is available for $40 for instant download.

The video was recorded in the highest quality possible. It plays well, and clearly, on a standard video player. It is formatted in MP4 format that usually plays without issue. However, if your computer does not display the video correctly, some sections upside down, or other issues, you may need to download a player that works correctly with this format. I have found that in 100% of these cases the VLC Player fixes the issue, and it is a free and safe download. Here is a link for it: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
