That's impressive stuff... he seems like a great shop to take the bike too. Taking photos to document the steps shows he clearly cares about the bike and customer satisfaction.

I've done enough research now and am clear what I need to do - my own service with 5w40 synthetic, and then I'll take it into the dealership afterwards so they can plug it into the computer for diagnoses and update the software. I don't know enough mechanics in the general area that I feel confident enough doing it right, especially when you factor in the heavy cost involved - I'm getting quoted from $300-$350+ tax which is just way too high. Wolfs out in London only charges $200 which is very fair, but it's going to be too much of a hassle to get it there.

I'm looking forward to doing it myself. Will likely buy all the OEM parts from my dealership before hand.

And if they are like any other place, this will not be for free, and they might not even do it.......just saying

Speak to Adrian @ Ace Moto Tech. He's in Milton which, depending on where you are, is going to be MUCH less of a hassle than going to London, Ontario AND his prices ARE very competitive.....

How much does he charge? My average for servicing has been between $300 - $550 depending on the extent of the service

Best you contact him directly about what you need done but my GSA's 1K service was a little over $200 including HST.

I just got ahold of him a few minutes back.

He advised me that he has recently moved to a brand new shop in Milton and has been busy setting it up which may be why some have had problems contacting him. In addition to the setting up the new shop he is also swamped working on customer's bikes and the earliest booking available is May 13th.

Cheers!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be needing the service before then so I'll definetly do it myself.

Apparently it's 180ml of 75w-90 synthetic gear oil. I'll likely go with BMW's unless I find a better option available in canada (that's cheaper and meets spec).

180ml. Thats bad. You anyway have to buy 1L or 1qrt bottle... I dont like the idea of store oil can after opening.

There won't be much left to store if you change the gearbox oil at the same time.
I used Amsoil synthetic gear lube in my R1100S - cheaper than buying the BMW oil. Mind you, pretty much everything is cheaper than the BMW equivalent. :)

It is liquid cooled engine. But I think about Motul 8100 or 7100.
 
Helloooo BMW owners!!

I have a Vetter fairing, lowers and BMW specific mount for late 70's. Would love to see somebody use it, send me a message if you are interested

Beautiful bike! I am planning on upgrading to a new GSA in a few years, love the look and the tech features they added. The fog lights LED now as well? They look white whereas the stock ones on my GSA are yellow.
