Wonderful vid Sir and thanks much for posting. If I can make just 2 small suggestions...not improvements....just suggestions: Many struggle with completely removing the driveshaft from trans output shaft, then reassembling. If you simply slide the shaft back approx 1 inch as seen in your vid...apply spline grease with small brush...then push shaft back in fully...it is well lubricated. Also, people doing this service themselves seem to fixate on the type and amount of grease to apply to all the splines. A simple chassis grease...axle grease...red Silkolene grease..anything in that arena works fine. And apply a common-sense amount of it. Just enough to cover the splines is sufficient. And if you have the trans in 1st gear it makes shaft reassembly much easier and quicker.
This is great! My GS Rallye done nearly 25k ... I'll be doing this straight after next trip and thereafter every 10k or after serious water/mud rides! Thx.
Thank you! This may be the most professional how-to video I have watched. Background music is calming. I will be doing this soon on my (new to me) 2012 R1200R with 10K on the clock. I doubt this service has been done yet. I'm glad you covered the front of the shaft as well as the rear lube.
Great video - you make it look easy! I would add that one instructional hint would help - that being, you need to keep the shaft lined up so that the u-joint coming off the main drive is in the up and down orientation. Mine was not lined up and it got jammed when i backed it off - it took me quite a while to get it loose.
Hi - nice video and well explained. I used this to service my R1200. You should update the video about the torx setting of the paralever to final drive bolt. It should be 56 NM - not 145…
@@baden-baden you still haven’t done this 2 years on and this is super, super important as many owners will strip their parakeet securing bolt by tightening to 145nm. This is a very bad mistake!!!
Thanks. Just finished doing mine front and back. I would have been finished sooner but had a 30 minute tussle with the splines in the back aligning. I finally used a ratchet strap through the hole in the back differential to slowly ratchet it up and then it was easy peasy. Thanks for the video!
Hi, I must say, your a master at getting the rear splines back together. Usually takes me an age to line them up. Just one observation. The bolt you stated should be tightened to 145nm (paralever to bevel unit), I’m pretty sure that it should be 56nm. Maybe worth checking, I might be wrong. Great video though. Cheers from UK.
Great video, thank you. I also say "there you go" when I get things lined up and threading. Each one is a small victory. Great camera work and technical know how.
You seldom get problems with the front splines, it’s the rear splines that have most movement & tend to rust. The correct moly paste is recommended (use Honda paste) although probably any spline grease is better than none !
good video I did not see any mention of the snap ring on trany side of the drive shaft. As I was cleaning the drive shaft spines i saw the inside dia. had an undercut. I then looked at an exploded view of the assembly and sure enough it showed a snap ring! It gets destroyed at dis assembly. 8$ part at max bmw.
You need to put grease on the contact surfaces of the rubber boots, preferably Klüber Staburags NBU 30 PTM, this helps in mounting them and keeps the water out. Otherwise excellent job. 👍
Hi, today i changed my r nine t gear oil and finaldrive oil and saw swingarm rubber boot cracked i was wondering for replaceing to remove all swingarm but your video show me how to replace without take off all part and go dealer pay lots of money. Thanks for the video.
Great and helpful video, thank you. Just a tiny little remark: you're using a T45 socket on the oil drain plug. Makes sense as it does the job and most people have it in their toolbox. But the actual size is a M7 Ribe socket. A size that hardly anybody has in their toolbox. 😄 This drain plug can be found not only on the GS, but on a wide range of the R and K bikes for the last 20 years or so. Other than that, just keep up the good work.
Great Video. That was the easy way to do it. All the other Videos I see, they are taking the whole Swingarm out. I’m really glad I found your Video. Thanks for making these, it really helps.👍👍😁
I’m surprised that the splines looked completely dry when disassembled and that the U-Joints went back in completely dry. I’d think a good slathering of grease on the u-joints would help prevent corrosion and extend service the service life.
Only vid where i saw complete removal of driveshaft ... well done all the other vid are only showing half the job... whoch means i would have only done half the job myself not realizing ... well doneand thanks
A useful video, but one thing you might want to check, the torque setting for the bolt securing the torque arm to the final drive hub at 13.29, which you give as 145nm. From what I have been able to find out, I think it’s actually 56nm. I’ve watched other videos and I’ve notice one quotes 100nm and another 60nm. When I looked at a chart on line for the R1250GS, that is what quoted 56nm.
@@baden-baden Don’t take my word for it about it being 56nm though, do your own research, as there seems to be so much different info out there. The website I used seemed to be authentic, but it wasn’t BMWs own site, but it was the best I could find. I do think anything much over 60nm is likely to be too much though. I’d be interested to know when you find out if you agree with 56nm
Notice the universal joints are non serviceable with zero grease points ... thankyou BMW .... new driveshaft from BMW Motorworks UK £500 which is fully serviceable with grease points fitted as standard ... mine failed at 70,000 miles and once a year I do a full rear diff and driveshaft service religiously.
Thanks for the great video. I did the rear splines but the shaft would not come off... it appears to move about 2cm then stops, Very strange but thanks to your video I will try it again and use a bigger Hammer ;-)
Awesome video - calm work environment and spotlessly clean. Well done - I like how you don’t gloss over the difficult parts, like re-assembly and getting the shaft to mate all the way to top of transmission spline. Question though, do you need to index the driveshaft to get it in the exact spline position in the shaft. I know years ago when removing a driveshaft of a car the mechanics would make a mark across the output shaft and the driveshaft and then line the driveshaft back into the same spline if you understand my question ? Does it matter to put the driveshaft back on the same spline position at re-assembly?
Thanks so much for your support! Yes, it is better if you can mark the shaft and put it back in the same position, avoiding future vibrations or balance problems. Sorry, I didn't mention that in this video. Best regards!
Do you need to mark with dot punch or pen exact position splines came off at gearbox or axle, didn't know if it would affect balance of propshaft, thanks
I think things would be a little easier if you would have raised the wheel assembly up a little (with help if needed). Would help stab the spines on both ends of the front. Not to mention that the shaft would have gone in easier through the housing. Good vid overall
Я делал, но на видео не показывал, но да, всегда рекомендуется добавлять силиконовую смазку I did , but did not show it on the video, but yes is always recommended to add silicone grease.
Hi. I’ve managed to do these steps successfully. Thanks! My question, is it ok not to slide the shaft exactly the same place (same teeths) where they sit previously? Regards.
Thanks for watching! Not really matters, because the main balance if in case you disassemble the "u" joints, that way lost balance, but in this case nop. Regards..!!
Front splines require periodic greasing because otherwise they may seize to the output shaft and then you'll have a difficult time separating them and risk damaging the transmission. The shaft's U-joints will eventually fail and the entire shaft then needs to be replaced.
Originally we use the white waterproof rubber grease to make sure no water enters the swing arm😉 also BMW will replace the cardan axle and final drive on the 60k Service.
Hi Bruce, thanks for the video, could you please share the silicone grease, the shaft lubricant and the link for the shaft oil? Or the oil you buy directly from BMW? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Great Video, Thank you very much. How often do we need to check this shaft's condition. I have a 2018 gs1200 Rally. Yesterday during my oil service, they recognised that some corrosion just started. (My bike is at around 9.000 km) Never rode on rainy conditions. What is the root cause of this problem. Any idea? As I know they put a different brand grease. Thanks again.
I need to do my splines too ... so hopefully do not see rust too. I have seen some other vlogs where people have rust, but some don't. I am wondering if this is something at the factory where assembly used a different or insufficient amount of grease. I have seen online - not just GS FD maintenance - where there is a recommendation to use molybdenum disulfide grease as this is particularly good for this type of mechanical application (gears, bearings, CV joints, etc.).

I known that never knock to much on the drive shaft which can be damaged the gearbox bearing. I will decide to cut it off when my last attempt tomorrow. If any recommend or another method to remove it please help to inform. ***This bike was long standstill for 3 year.
@@Keafearless okay, if you have a frozen shaft, I highly recommend applying some pz blast or wd40 , leave it over night and next day heat it up carefully with a torch just the junction shaft, with out damaging other seals or parts of the motorcycle, and then use a hammer or puller , that way you can get it out. Hope that helps, Good luck
