Pretty much any minor issue or service procedure for your Oilhead may show up on this site with MUCHO detail on how to address it.
These bikes are SUPER easy to maintain.
Enjoy your new bike

For the love of God get some valve cover protectors. The valve covers cost $300. each where I live.

It is generally accepted that using syn gear oil in your FD will make it more likely to leak. Best to go with dino in the BMW reccomended weight on that bike. Read up on final drive failures when you have lots of time on your hands and youll see.

The last one I bought was $85. I think they're around $100 now. The magnesium ones are under $190. You're getting screwed.
