Handy info if you service your 1200

You can get the oil & air filters from car part outlets (may have to order)as they are made for bmw by mahle filters,
Oil filter is a mahle OC 306, and the air filter is a mahle LX 984/2 .
only cost me about £10 for both

And maybe bmw car dealers too, i took the part no for the bmw/akrapovic silencer into Snows BMW, here on the IOW, and they ordered it in.

This is true for any bmw bike parts if they have the part no they can get it they even deliver to us & we get 10% off

We only do trade 'ear' mate

Looks like the air filter is the same for my 1200RT so I'll be asking at my local motorfactors,

2004 R1200GS service manual

All I was after was a Dummy's Guide-type guide for maintenance of my bike, I accidentally stumbled across this site:

http://store.payloadz.com/str-asp-i..._Manual_84_17_MB_Other_Files_-end-detail.html

... from where for a piddling US$11.99 I seem to have downloaded BMW's original service manual. This isn't a pdf document. It is a multiple language, 92Mb searchable database application with detailed technical data, repair instructions, photographs, illustrations, etc, etc. More than I could possibly use, but a bargain none-the-less. As I say, the link above is for the 2004 model, which suits me, but there may be others available.

Check it out. For that money you can't lose!
