What to Do If the Fuel Cap of the BMW R1250 GS Won't Open

Model: Bmw R1250 Gs
Part: Fuel cap

Video tutorial

Here’s how to handle it if the electronic fuel cap of the BMW R1250 GS won’t open. The emergency solution (without panicking) is to open the seat, which can be manually unlocked, take the screwdriver provided with the bike, and unscrew the two screws that secure the cap mechanism.

Remove the small metal plate, and at this point, the cap will open manually, allowing you to refuel. To close it, remove the metal piece, close the cap, replace the top piece to prevent it from reopening, and re-screw the two screws with the screwdriver.

Remember, this is an emergency procedure and not a permanent fix for the electronic system.

How to Change the Engine Oil on a Keeway K-Blade 125?

To change the engine oil on the Keeway K-Blade 125, you will need to remove the drain plug from the oil sump, which is located at the central bottom of the bike. Once the plug is loosened, allow the used oil to flow into an appropriately placed container; next to this drain plug, you will find the oil filter that also needs to be unscrewed and removed from its housing, so it can be replaced with a new spare part. After the replacement, top up by inserting the new oil through the breather located on the right side of the vehicle.
