BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just serviced my 07. All fluids except the brake and clutch as i changed them last March.
Old age must be setting in because i can't remember how much oil the rear drive bevel takes. I think it's something like 80Ml and the same oil as the gearbox. The oil looks quite clean seeing ive clocked up 13000 miles since last March, just needs replenishing now.

If its the same as the wet head it's 180ml

I will check soon if no one beats me to it

Cheers, Stu. I thought there was a 80 in there somewhere

The Haynes manual for a Hexhead doesn't give a FD oil capacity because at the time, it was changed at 600 miles then in for life.

For a Camhead, it's 180 ml, it'll likely be the same for a Hexhead.

The original spec. gearbox oil for a Hexhead was SAE 90 and the FD was the fancy 75W-90.

Cheers David. So gearbox is the same as rear drive as i thought

here you go

180ml

What is that from?, it's not Haynes

This 2007 Hexhead doesn't have separate drain & filler plugs, (Camheads do).

Mine has a drain and fill plugs. As he said mine must have been replaced at some time.I will look through the service history as am sure it has something about a warranty claim for bevel and shaft

My 2007 Hexhead was as per the video, FD oil changed at 600 miles then never again.

Service data 0368 - R 1200 RT

Thanks Glenn

Its the BMW RSD manual which covers pretty much all models

Its apparently what BMW use

All back together, renewed oil, splines grease
