One of the best DIY videos out there. Keep up the good work. One question
though: In the BMW oil filter kit there are 3 washers and one O-ring.
O-ring for oil filter cover, large copper washer for sump plug. What are
the remaining 2 tiny washers for? I haven’t been able to figure this out
yet, after 2 oil changes on my G650GS Sertao.
good job!
Great video. Just a question, did you warm the bike to its service
temperature? It’s in order to make the oil more liquid.
Thanks! What about the 3 other washers that came with the kit?
Great video, it has now given me the confidence to do even more on my bike.
Scared myself by thinking over-tightened sump/drain plug due to a
collection of new oil film on it over next few days, until I realise I
spilt some when filling header tank and it took a few rides to travel down
and gather on the lowest point of the engine!
Thank you sir! I think I’ll give it a try…
Excellent video!
Thank you for the video. A suggestion for catching the oil from the filter
— I cut a plastic tennis ball container that hold three balls in half
(length wise) and notched the end for the spout. It fit perfectly.
Thanks for the tutorial. Just what I was looking for!
Thankyou very much for your effort
Thanks!
your video makes it so easy, even a girl can do it…thank you!
I use non synthetic 20/50
Awesome DIY, thanks! I just purchased a 2004 F650 GS Single which has been
standing for little over a year with 15,000km (9320 miles) on the clock. It
was last dealer-serviced in 2011 on 10,000km (6213 miles). Everything still
runs fine, but for peace of mind I will be replacing the engine oil, brake
fluids and thoroughly clean and inspect all the other components. What oil
do you recommend I use? Synthetic / Non-Synthetic? Grade?
This was fantastic, thank you so much, I appreciate the upload. If you ever
get a free day, and need to anyway, I’d love it if you could make a video
on sprocket and chain replacement on the F650GS. Thank you again, I really
appreciate the hell out of it!
