Torque settings

[Numptyrider]

Hi all, I’m new here but wondered if anyone can help me out. I have a GS 750 2021 and I’m embarking on doing routine maintenance myself, just sorted brake pads, air filter and chain and sprockets, fitted Thunderbox for lights and cameras etc. I really struggle to find the torque settings for the bolts on the bike when I come to do any job. Is there a comprehensive list out there somewhere for all the bolts? I think BMW don’t put these in the manual so you take the bike to the dealership ! Thanks for any help, Rob

Can you get a clymer or Haynes manual ?

I don't think any printed maintenance manuals are available for the F750/850 GS range. Many manufacturers have of course become litigious.

There is an official DVD version, discussed here ..........

Hi there, thank you. I have ordered a usb stick from Amazon for £30 which is supposed to have the full service procedures etc, when I receive it I’ll post my opinion.

Thanks Squibb34 … that may be similar to the usb stick I’ve ordered… fingers crossed. My BMW dealer charges £132 ph for work and most jobs I can do myself with the right tools and instructions + I learn a lot about the bike in doing so

There seems to be more info out there on the 850 and as my 750 seems to be a restricted 850 is it safe to assume that most of the maintenance will be the same on both models?

The torque setting is always “just enough“. But not “too much”.
