MTRMAN63 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A 14 minute video I made of me changing the oil in my final drive, 2009 R1200RT. Lubed the splines while I was at it. Link to comment
w2ge Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Nice Job... One question, if your not dropping the drive (spline lube) why remove the speed sensor? Unless there was a change from 09 to 2010, I have a fill plug, I've never removed the speed sensor to fill my FD. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Morning Phil His 09 has that same final drive fill plug (you can easily see it in his video). You can fill it through the wheel speed sensor hole as he does but that is extra work and there is always that chance of nicking the speed sensor "O" ring at re-assembly (especially if the "O" ring is swelled up slightly).

Yep, my '09 has the fill plug. You don't need to pull the ABS sensor unless you're dropping the drive to lube the splines, as DR and Phil pointed out. I noticed that yesterday when I was watching the video (excellent work!). One thing to watch out for: the fill plug is a hex socket, and the drain plug is a Torx. Don't assume that the Fill Plug Design Engineer and the Drain Plug Design Engineer talked to each other and try to use a hex on the drain plug. It will go in, feel seated, and promptly round off the socket. Don't ask me how I know that ... JayJay Link to comment
