Me too! K75s ABS owner. I was always taught to remove the fill plug first before draining; so you can make sure you will be able to refill things. (I'm NOT criticizing.) MANY thanks for your videos sir!
That recommendation is for us DIYers. If we cannot get the fill plug removed after draining the oil, we’d have to tow the bike to the shop. If you found out the fill plug was stuck before draining the oil, you’d still be able to ride the bike to the shop. The BMW Guy is the shop, presumably, he’d be able to work out a stuck fill plug.
Thank you for making your videos, they are a real help to the BMW motorcycle community. I own a 2004 BMW R1150R. Due to obvious wear to the clutch spline and transmission input shaft, I replaced both. I replaced the clutch with an Oil resistant, with longer splines after market clutch. Can you please do a video on your experience of such after market clutches. Are they a complete solution to the transmission input spline issue? Do they introduce and new problems due to the clutch being heavier?
I'm pretty sure it's not. That filter wasn't tightened properly, I assume. If we think of a car with an outside oil filter, that is not suppose to drain, either. Not a single drop.

I'm looking at getting a 1985 k100 cafe racer. Your video definitely helped with my decision-making. Thank you for making this.
I sold my k100rt last year. But this brings back a lot of memories.
Thank you 😊 for K bike content ❤

Super useful video !!!
Do you have the links to the filter wrench, filter and everything?
Great! Thanks!
Red color isn't necessary an indicator of old oil.
I've ordered service pack from bobs motorcycle, which had 80W90 BELRAY OIL GEAR Hypoid of red color
What grade oil is used for the gearbox ?? Is it the same as the final drive oil ?? Cheers
75w90, yes they are the same
@@TheBMWGuy cheers bud , much appreciated 👍
Why is there oil in the oil filter area? Is that normal?
Yes, completely normal.
I'm pretty sure it's not. That filter wasn't tightened properly, I assume. If we think of a car with an outside oil filter, that is not suppose to drain, either. Not a single drop.
I couldn’t find the info about the oil. Do you mind sharing the best oil for a k75c?
20w50
zo the gear and final drive is the same oil ?
correct 75w90
