Engine Maintenance on BMW R 1150 GS

Model: Bmw R1150 Gs
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

Pour the oil system clear additive and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Then proceed to drain the engine oil. Start the motorcycle for a couple of minutes to make the lubricant less viscous, then open the drain hole and collect it in a container.

Meanwhile, replace the oil filter cartridge (remember to lubricate the new one before inserting it). Screw on the cap and the protective cover, and insert new oil through the fill hole (15W50 is recommended). Check the level through the appropriate sight glass, as shown in the video.

Close the fill hole and you’re done.

How to Replace the Piston on a Derbi GPR 125

To replace the piston on a Derbi GPR 125, loosen the bolts securing the cylinder head to its housing, allowing it to be removed along with the valve cover. This will enable you to access the bolts securing the cylinder at the top of the engine, allowing for its complete removal and revealing the underlying piston. The piston can now be freed from its securing bolts, enabling you to position the new piston onto the corresponding conrod. After installation, refit the engine components.
