How not to do an annual service on a R1250GSA

[Geecee68]

I did the annual service on my GSA, first time for me. Learning points.

1). You need, oil, a fliter AND a crush washer and a new seal for the filler cap. I forgot the filler cap seal and the crush washer.
2). My old oil filter had been srewed on stupidly tight, I needed a tool to unscrew it.
3). You need a 10 mm Allen socket to unscrew the drain bolt, and maybe a 17mm for the new K&N filter.
4). My torque wrench didn't go down to 11nm for the filter.
5). The skid plate bolts are supposed to go upto 23nm....this seemed really really tight. Dunno if I was doing it wrong.

I see you've been doing YT for a fair while but still a nicely put together video, I always appreciate someone who does a professional job.

Its developed over the years, and I'm learning all of the time. Google are paying me now, so I must be doing something right. Your comment alone makes it worth it John.
