How to Do an Oil Change on a BMW K1200s


1. Warm up the motorcycle's engine for a few minutes and then put it on the center stand.
2. Remove the lower plastic cowling by pulling it straight down.
3. Screw out the oil filler cap located on the right-hand side of the motorcycle.
4. Position the oil drain pan under the motorcycle's oil drain hole.
5. Unscrew the drain plug screw by using an 8 mm hex wrench.
6. Replace the drain plug screw once the oil has finished draining out. Be careful not to over-tighten the drain plug screw.
7. Pour the fresh oil into the engine using approximately 3.5 qts. Keep an eye on the oil-viewing window to ensure that the oil level does not exceed the marking on the window's center.
