Very nice vid. I gave up riding at age 25 because of the cost but now at almost 60, time to get back in as I miss the freedom. So I just acquired a 1999 R1100R from my neighbor having only 13,000 miles. He kept it maintained at local BMW dealer but last service was 10 years ago. Dealer wants $800 to bring it up spec and another $1,000 if the breaks and fuel lines fail testing. My other neighbor, a Harley rider, has talked me in to doing some of the service myself which I will certainly rely on your well-produced videos and viewer comments as I embark on each task. Thanks!
If you still have the original tool kit it should have the spark plug socket. You won't need to grease it either... You should NEVER use adjustable pliers to pull the plug caps off as excess force could damage them internally. The tool kit should also have a puller specifically designed to extract the plug caps without damage. Also, I noticed to MOTUL oil did not specify it was 'Motorcycle Oil'. With this bike and it's dry clutch, you DO NOT REQUIRE 'Motorcycle Oil' and the 'friction modifiers' needed in engine-oil bathed wet clutches. Save your money and by the correct grade of synthetic automotive oil. My plugs look tan brown, indicating a good fuel-air mixture. Is your bike burning oil making them so carbon-covered? I noticed the oil filter rubber seal DID NOT come off with your filter. This is quite common. The problem is if you apply the new filter before you remove the old rubber seal you are pretty much guaranteed to leak. (I've heard this is the case, but I've never experienced it, as I always check to ensure the seal if off and clean all the surfaces before screwing on the new filter). I own a 2002 BMW R-1150-RS that I do all the maintenance, and it's been stone reliable, running like the day it rolled out of the showroom after 150,000-km.
I have a feeling that the oil you are using are for bikes with a wet clutch. Probably not harmful, but maybe not a good idea. I think these engines runs very lean and not rich. Mine does. Runs almost just on air ;-) I have not seen a plug as black as yours and I seldom change them. Good how to video anyway and a nice looking bike. Ride safe!
The oil for the bike is okay as the gearbox is a separate oil.as for the spark plugs they do look a bit black as the camera did not give a true colour, But apart from that thanks for watching and Ride safe to
Yes, and that might cause a little bit more friction in your engine! I think that regular car oil is a bit cheaper and might do a better job. Manual states: Brand-name HD oil for petrol engines of API classification SE, SF, SG; combination with CC or CD specification.Once again - its nice to see a clean and well kept machine!
I would really also change the brake hoses. If they are 20y old original (?) and are propably full of little rubber grains inside if so. Atleast mine were. You can get new stainless steel hoses from motorworks.co.uk. Another common thing are the electronic wires in the front behind the lamp. They are too tight and I would loosen them a bit before they get broken. 3rd thing is the HES-unit which wires will broke sooner or later becouse the heat. Should change (atleast the wires) it atleast after 100 000km. Havent done it yet in my bike so would love to see proper video of that.
Learmed a ton about this bike with these videos, thank you! Looking for some advice, adjusted valves but the clutch side pulls harder when we go to balance throttle bodies. Anyone know why?
I just bought a 2000 R1100R. I wanted to check the health of the right side spark plug. To do that I would need to remove the head cover. You did not show that, why? Are older models different?
Hay mate My methode as Every time blowing wen I taking de clep of cilinder off. Am blowing in de e hole en after this taking the Spark alway. I use surly not grease.. 1)when your engine warming UP as your grease smolting. 2)all the murrie hanging on the grease
These videos are very handy. I have a 99 r1100r and love it. Which Spark plugs do you use? Do they come pre gapped, I think they do or you would have said that. How often do you change your Spark Plugs? Do you do it with every oil change? Thanks again for these videos.
yes there is is engine oil oil is changed regularly gearbox and Final Drive oils change to certain how many miles you generally do obviously looking to a Heinz manual and it will give you the right mileage for for gearbox and Final Drive etc hope this helps

why can so many people not spell BRAKES
looks like the rubber gasket from the old oil filter stayed in the bike. probably going to need to retrieve that before putting in the new one.

Great video.
I've got a 98 plate 1100r and this will help me carry out a service.

Great video i allso put in 10w40 4t oil been using it for years now r1100r and yes my Sparkpugs run rich to and not lean
Nice video; I enjoyed watching it. Cheers from Canada, where we have finally gotten rid of our snow...........my Z900RS is slowly waking up! lol
I checked out you choice of oil and it seems you are right, as for the plugs they do seem a bit on the rich side.
Well done. Learned a lot.
Cheers mate, this vid saved me a bit of $
keep up the good work mate
Мгогие правы масло в двигатель по манкалу 15w50😮
I find If you take the oil filter off first it makes less of a mess. Nice video 👍
Totally agree my try that myself you live and learn by your mistakes thanks for watching
Thanks. Some handy tips
Well done.

Why do 10w40? The engine is designed on the base of Mineral Oil. Also if you change from one to the other you can get an engine damage

Had my bike 4ys now and yes i may go for new stainless steel hoses
Thanks !!! Nice Ride

Thanks again for these videos.
So are there 3 oils to change on this bike?engine oil, transmission oil, and final drive oil?
yes there is is engine oil oil is changed regularly gearbox and Final Drive oils change to certain how many miles you generally do obviously looking to a Heinz manual and it will give you the right mileage for for gearbox and Final Drive etc hope this helps
What's use you for oliefilter key
10/40 ,,,,better with 15/50
From BMW Fabrice askend for 15/50
