BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I am looking at now buying a 2014 1200rt.  I guess I want to know what I am getting into as far as maintenance goes.  How often, what needs to be checked, and can I do these things myself?  I see that a big ting seems to be the Valve clearance, can I do this myself?  Is there a good manual I need or can get?  One last thing, how about the GS-911 for the computer maint. reset and error codes?  I am used to doing all service on my old Hondas,  I know this is a different animal altogether which is why I thought I should ask to find out before jumping into one.
                      Thanks for all the help!!
