I don't understand why BMW doesn't try to facilitate access to such an important maintenance item. The only explanation can only be the maintenance of dependence on simple (and expensive) services only being carried out by the concessionary network. I have a K1600 GTL 2016..., excellent motorcycle, I love doing periodic maintenance myself, but I always find it difficult to access some items, like the one in the video...,, replacing the air filter. I thank the author of the video for providing such accurate and important information. Big hug.
More bolts are require to be removed on mine to to get what you call the red panels off. Got filter out but not in the way you suggested. Changed filter once before and was a lot more work.Helpful but, not fully. 2018 GTL
Nice job on the K1600 b air-filter video. Question: wouldn’t you want to use a airfilter grease on instal to seal the filter to the box? I am impressed by your video. Thx Michael
I swapped out my air filter watching your video and it was a piece of cake! Only difference is I dropped a K&N filter in place of stock. Suggestion for future video: Show how to remove K1600 GT or GTL handlebars enough to install bar risers. It’s tricky and I haven’t figured it out yet.
How do I ask a general question, not related to a video? 1 - is the info section on the 2011 F800GS dash configurable? (the temp and fuel level are reversed from my other BMWs. highly annoying 2 - what are the chances of repowering my 2007 R1200GS with a 2013+ engine, including the longer swingarm? Chances, not cost effectiveness....?
Love the channel. Totally off the subject of the video but I bought some break lines from your parts website on June 23rd. Payment went through but no confirmation email, no shipping info, nothing. There is no way of contacting you on the website which is why I'm writing this in the comments. How can I get confirmation of purchase and shipping info? Thanks.
Hi, Unfortunately, I'm not even close to you so I can't bring my bike. I have a 2014 k1600 gtl, and I had a small crash about a year ago. Everything was fixed, except for the front wheel alignment. When the wheel or the bike is going straight, the handlebar is slightly turned to the right. The handles are fine, and the plate that supports the handles is fine too. What else can be twisted to have the handlebar, or the wheel misaligned? how can I straighten both?
Hi. After replacing the pump and injectors, and cleaning the fuel injection system, the engine does not start. When I disconnect the tube from the pump - quick connector, the engine runs smoothly for several seconds (fuel pressure below 1 Bar). After reconnecting, it turns off (Fuel pressure 3.5-4Bar). The scanner shows no errors. I don't know what the cause is.
