The front wheel bearings and seals on the BMW R1200RT and similar motorcycles are not difficult to replace. Having the right tools and a few tips and tricks are all you need. In this video I'll demonstrate the complete process, and try a bearing removal tool made by Motion Pro which is new to me.

Another option would be to put a board under the centre stand, maybe something like 1 1/2 inches? then put some weight on the rear end. Great channel.

The bearings will always feel tight when there is no axle clamping pressure. This is by design. When the axle is torqued to spec this will compress the centre spacer tube to give the proper running clearance. Otherwise, when the axle is tightened this would result in the bearing being compressed with too much side pressure on the balls resulting in failure. Proper axle torque is important here.

Hi, I bought a 2006 R1200RT with just over 30,000 miles on the clock earlier in the year. It's a great bike other than the front wheel bearings are whining, not too bad but need changing out. Your excellent video is just what I needed to confirm how to go about the job. I've ordered the replacement bearings and seals for my model year and will change them out next week. I'm an experienced engineer (not automotive) and don't expect to have any problems. Thanks again for your super video.

On the GS/GSA only the left bearing is seated in the wheel. The right side bearing is then pulled into the wheel, use a special tool, until it touches the spacer. I would have thought your RT to be the same?

@MarkoMarcello

Remarkably well done, thanks.

Perfect timing, I'm getting my 2013RT ready for a trip to the Barber Vintage Fest and then on to the Oakridge Mountains. Fresh rubber is recommended.🤣👍 Be safe out there!

Thank you for another excellent tutorial! My 2011 RT has 73,000 miles. I just replaced the front tire, the bearings felt fine but maybe I should consider replacing them. I hope you have or had a great trip.

@SoEz2Hack

Thanks John, you have been really helpful. Watching over your shoulder while you work and teach is both practical and a pleasure!

Nicely done. Well talked through the whole operation step by step.

@InterimExec

Thank you so much for the reply on symptoms.....So useful.

@aBluegrassPicker

Excellent video thank you for making this

@InterimExec

Wow that's a complex one for me!!! Your videos have inspired me but some job still seem outside my comfort border. What are the symptoms of bearing failure and a sign it is time to head to your shop?
