You also should change brake and clutch fluid every 2 years, regardless of distance travelled. The gear shafts run on anti-friction ball bearings, with the gears themselves in low friction needle bearings. The ball bearings come in clean bearing mounts sealed at the surface. This sealing prevents fine particles to enter, allows even longer maintenance intervals for the gearbox. The valves in the BMW R GS are driven by pushrods and rocker arms from camshafts underneath the valves. Adjustments are done by screw and locknut. The maintenance schedule also has a few other long-term items, like changing the alternator belt. This maintenance schedule is presented in a different format in the manuals and various references.

But, my new GS is the first bike I have without the list of what is to be done at which scheduled service. My previous 4 bikes were Suzuki and all of them had in Owners Manual the list with extensive description of what is to be checked, replaced or adjusted at what mileage or age of the bike. With my new GS I'm in complete darkness. I know about air filter, oil, oil filter, brake fluid etc. They are universal for all bikes but I have no idea of anything specific for GS. Is Service Manual the only answer?

It's also my first bike with hydraulic clutch where I can't look at the fluid level. Ride modes, cruise control, and automatic stability control came as optional extras that were frequently fitted. What else? BMW part number for the air filter is Not required. Make sure you periodically change the brake fluid, too.

Check coolant level, top-up if necessary BMW Coolant. Due to a lack free time I've decided to have my 12gs dealer serviced. One of the techs at the dealer said their machine is the best way to sync the carbs so I'll prolly have them do that.
