2000 r1100rs

Post by mdhallman »

I'm about to purchase my first BMW - a 2000 r1100rs. It is in great condition with 60,000 miles. The owner bought it two years ago after it had had a 60,000 mile service. He was going to ride with his wife but she was injured so he rarely took the bike out (he said about 2 tanks worth in the last year or so). I'm wondering what type of maintenance I would need to do, if any, once I get the bike. I'm thinking about things like brake fluid and such. Thanks for the help.

Like all,of them they should be serviced after 12 months or 6000 miles.  Confirm with the seller that the 60k service was a full,one that should have included plugs filters and all,oils.  If so I would suggest just engine, gearbox and final drive fluid changes.

As the bike has done minimal mileage since the last 60,000 miles service, https://www.ascycles.com/pdf/ServiceSch ... RS_12K.pdf,
perhaps an annual inspection service would be in order, https://www.ascycles.com/pdf/ServiceSch ... Annual.pdf.

As per RTman10, change engine oil & filter, gearbox oil & final drive oil.

Plus, change brake fluid, front & rear.

Do a full service including brake fluid and check brake pads. You then know where you are and can thoroughly check the bike over. Peace of mind. Post a pic.

Thanks for the advice. Really looking forward to learning more about the bike. Changing fluids seems like a good first step. I did get the Clymer manual and have the "Oilhead Maintenance Manual" pdf. Any other resource recommendations that would be worthwhile to check out - I'd love to here about them.

David - thanks for the inspection checklists.

Never mind the bike, what's that interesting little car tucked away in the corner?

I figured that would catch someone's eye. That's the new toy of the guy selling me the bike. Just got it fully restored...

You might want to check when the fuel filter was last replaced as they become problematic with age. It's a bugger to get to though.
So when is this “old enough to know better” supposed to kick in?
