Model: Bmw R1200 GS
Part: Battery

Following these brief steps, we will see how to disassemble and replace the battery of the BMW R1200 GS motorcycle. First, we put the motorcycle on the center stand and begin to remove the rider's seat; we will find the battery underneath, disconnecting both terminals (positive and negative) to remove it from the battery compartment, as shown in the video. At this point, we install and connect the new battery correctly, of the right type and with the same amperage; we check its operation by starting the engine, finally reassembling the rider's seat!

Changing the Oil and Filter on the Kawasaki Versys

Here’s how to change the oil and filter on the Kawasaki Versys. Warm up the engine for a few minutes, place the motorcycle on the centre stand, open the filler cap, and remove the drain plug underneath the engine. Place a catch basin under the oil sump, unscrew the drain plug, and let the oil drain out. Unscrew the oil filter and let all the old oil drain out. Install a new filter and tighten it with the appropriate tool. Pour half a glass of new oil into the filler cap and wait for it to flow out of the drain hole, after which replace the plug. Fill with approximately 1.8 litres of new oil, take it for a short ride to circulate the oil in the engine, stop the engine, and check the level through the designated window. Top up if necessary.
