- Hello again and welcome to my channel ,
Some time ago I made a video about the shaft lubrication , that time I only did the rear part of the shaft, in this video we will see the lubrication of the two splines of the drive shaft of my BMW R1200 GS.
Thanks again for watching my videos and your support.

Best instructional on that yet! Nobody else shows the front splines and I figure that's just as important.
Thank you so much!
Great diy but the front isn’t nearly as important as the rear since it’s locked in place and is not the slip joint like the rear is. Could be good to do if you do lots of wet weather riding or creek crossings just to maintain a rust free environment.
Would you do this with your car rear wheel drive aswell?
@@FLINTSTONES45 Yes. But the rear diff on a car doesn't see the moisture that these do. Every used vehicle I've bought, gets the diffs inspected and gear oil changed, along with trans, transfer case, oil, etc.
@@FLINTSTONES45 a cars rear diff is splined in the transmission and lubed by transmission fluid so there’s no need to perform this task on a vehicle.
Older vehicles that had slip joints external to the trans had zerc cuttings to lube the splines.
Finally someone maintains the front splines.great job very thorough 👍
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.
Thank you for your comment and watching my channel.
Happy New 2022
Wow, this is one of the best tutorial I have seen on RUclips!
Highest quality training! Well done. Thank you!
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.
Excellent maintenance! Many owners R-series complain about rusty drive shaft, but didn't make that simple service.
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!
Getting ready to perform this maintenance on a 2010 GS 1200. This is a great video. Thank you for the direction & advise. GR.
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.
Thanks so much for your kind a comments!
Very efficient and very clean of doing a great job! Thank you for sharing.
This was the BEST video I've seen here on RUclips for lubing the final drive splines. Thank you...
Thank you for watching and support.
Most complete service I have seen, thanks!
Best video on this procedure thank you I look forward to more GS maintenance videos!
Nicely done and now I’ll complete the job myself… thanks for front spline part of the video… brilliant
The only video on this that shows the removal of the front drive boot - well done as this is super important to get right!
Thanks a bunch for watching...more videos are coming about 25k Service on a GSA .
Thanks again!!
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.
Thanks so much for your kind words and watching my videos.
Greetings!
Thanx, was looking for this for taking the whole shaft out. Good work / video 👌
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.
Thank you so much for your support!
Perfect video brother. Great relaxing music, so clean and thorough. Well done 👍
You make it look so easy. Well done and nicely shot video. 👍
it's the best instructional video even i've seen.
Snap On ratchets, Knipex cutters, & Milwaukee power driver. Good tools man.
Thanks !!
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.
Thanks so much for your support and time to watch my video , best regards from Texas..!!
Yes, it is 56nm.
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.👍👍😁
Thank you, hope helps !!
Thank you Jim!
Awesome video, thank you!
Excellent, and no cussing!!
Great video and job! Thx for sharing!
Excellent, thank you :)
Really good video!! I usually only see the rear shift spline lubrication. Well done sir and thank you.
Thank you for your comment and support!!
Great vid. No messing about. Thanks!
Thanks for your support !
Finally a really well done video congratulations
Thank you !!
Nice and tidy clean work, well done.
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.
Ευχαριστώ!
Thank you for the effort 👍
Thnx buddy . I am gonna maintain my final drive tomorrow
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…
Thanks , Yes I need to fix that.
@@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!!!
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 video. Thanks!
Well done! Very informational!
Thank you very much for your support and time to watch my clips..!!
Thank you so much for the info and it’s a huge help for me thanks
Hi Brother Good lesson .
When time is come definitely i use your video to lube my toy.
Thanks
Brilliant thank you
Fantastic job!
Thank you!
You make it look so easy
Perfect, well done
Hello from France. Very good video. Thanks for youre professionnalism
Thanks so much for your support. Best regards from Texas, USA
great video ... just a tip use a paint brush to apply grease on spline. and a jack to hold final drive can help lifting holding ... etc
Excellent presentation
Thank You!
Great tutorial, thx!
I got to the page by coincidence and found that you ride the same group I occasionally ride with in Houston. It is impossible to miss Bruce!
Lol...yeah Bruce is a good rider !
Wow, it looks like you've done this a few time before. Excellent video!
Thank you, great video!!
Thanks for watching!
Ottimo video!
Great video!
Thank you very much ..!!
Best I've seen 👍👍
Well done...very good 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.
Thanks so much for your helpful comments, great suggestions too.
Happy holidays !!
Finally, someone who serviced the front splines!
Thanks for watching !!
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 !
@@johnlang3233 Should be high-moly (at least 60%) grease.
Great GREAT vid. Thx
Great video
I agree the front is important
Great video mate, i need someone to do this to my bike
Great video, thank you.
Thanks for watching, more videos are coming !!
Great video my friend 👌
Thank you
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 ;-)
great video !
Thank you very much for your support!!
Thanx, great video.
Thanks for watching!
Nice one mate good job.
Keep it up.
From the Land of OZ
Excellent video
Thank you for watching!!
Good movie !
Torque, paralever to bevel unit, IS for sure 56Nm. According to the Haynes manual.
Great Job! BMW should do a carbon fiber shaft and housing.
Thanks for sharing 😎🏍️💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Top 👏💯
brill vid i am a new owner of a bmw just subscribed cos i am sure i will need it 😁
Great bikes, I own BMW 40 yrs ago and I love it.
Superb thank you
BMW done mine on a recall then forget to fill it with diff oil .unless.. Nice handy video thanks
Great service.
Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for the video - super imformative. Do you have recommended brands on the different lubricants you use?
Great video
Which Molly grease do you use on the splines.
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
Hi, would the 2007 GSA be the same ? Thank you.
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
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.
What about the C clip on transmission spline? Was it there or not?
Important maintenance for BMW R1200GS. Great video.
Thank you so much for your comment!!
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!
@@baden-baden read that too late!!
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.
Thanks so much for your comment and yes , I need to fix that part.
Thanks for watching!
@@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
there is a ring on the front splined shaft. Is this ring inside the splined sleeve?
My nickname in college was “little bungee” 😊
Отличный ролик, все аккуратно сделано, спасибо большое!!! Но почему kluber на гофры не нанёс? 🤔🤔🤔😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣
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.

👍
I'm saving money to buy 1 like this, which is my dream bike, so every maintenance video you share like this is a must watch and keep! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and well done with the videos!! 👍👍
PS, can you please share what is the spray / brand you use to clean the spline after brushing it? Thank you again!
Thanks so much for your support and patience to watch my videos.
Great motorcycles honestly!!
I will send you the link about the cleaner
@@baden-baden thank you, really appreciated!
10:05 Is is better to apply grease between the rubber and the swingarm before you put the rubber in place?
Hey, which Grease u would suggest, is NBU 30 PTM okay???
Muito bom 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much..!!
Obrigado!!
