TonyTsai Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 came across a good way to do an oil drain, just for reference. ENJOY!! Link to comment
T__ Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Tony, that sure is one way,, not so sure a good way as it really should drain for fair amount of time & holding the bike up like that for a long while is difficult.. Twisty Link to comment
NewBlue Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Any pics of you draining the rear brake fluid reservoir? Link to comment
RichEdwards Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Reminds me of that joke: "How many (fill in the ethnic reference) does it take to change a lightbulb?" Link to comment
JayW Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 It also looks like it would be all too easy to drop the bike and/or get hurt. Interesting solution, but I'll stick with dropping the FD, which also allows me to lube the splines. Jay Link to comment
Grumpy-ol-Fart Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 It does present an interesting opportunity for my engine hoist... Link to comment

mistral Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The bottom line is that is cheating! Link to comment

Dave_C Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 i decided to just blow out my Fd so I could get a new one(under warranty) with the drain plug on the bottom where it was supposed to be! Link to comment
IanW Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Dont laugh to loud, I did mine the first time by removing the small front mudguard, under an A frame I lifted the front wheel with a block and tackle and drained the oil, think about it, it was easy. Ian Link to comment
flars Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I, too, think this is a bad way to go about it. You should always use the specified BMW oil absorbent tissue (part # 11123304693, which was superseded by 11123306493 in 12/2008, $31.92) around the cup you use to catch the oil (part # 11123306298, $62.78). Since you obviously did not use the aforementioned oil overflow and spillage papers, you will have to purchase the Staburags Oil Cleanup paste (113321135-1) and Staburags Oil Cleanup cloth (113321136-9), not to mention the Staburags Oil Cleanup cloth disposal bag (113442332) to clean up the work space.
