Changing the Oil and Air Filters on a BMW R1100 GS

Model: Bmw R1100 Gs

Video tutorial

To access and change the air filter, remove the seat by inserting the ignition key into the under-seat hole, then remove the clips and the cover of the filter compartment. Pull out the old filter and insert the new one. On the left side of the bike, at the bottom, is the oil filter, while on the right side is the exhaust with the Allen screw cap. For refilling new oil (800 ml of SAE 90 GL-5 oil), there is a top filler cap near the valve cover.

Before inserting the new oil filter, remember to lubricate the O-ring, even with used oil.
