R1100 Routine Service – Paul Glaves

In this article we will cover the specifications and other information needed for a mechanically

experienced R1100 owner to perform routine maintenance on his or her motorcycle. This

article is not intended to teach the mechanically inexperienced owner everything they need to

know about maintaining an R1100 motorcycle. From my experience, at least 90% of

motorcycle maintenance is core knowledge of fundamental mechanic’s technique. Ten

percent is motorcycle model specific. We’ll cover some of that fundamental 90%, but will

mostly cover the specifications and procedures which specifically apply to the R1100. Please

be careful. Maintenance of a high speed motor vehicle is serious business. Your valuable

machine and your personal safety depend on your abilities. If you break something or ruin

something it won’t be BMW’s fault. It won’t be my fault. You are responsible for what you do

and how you do it. Be careful!

BMW has used different terminology to describe maintenance intervals and requirements over

the years. Back in the old days we did “5,000 mile services” and “10,000 miles services.” At

times we referred to “major services and minor services”. At other times the terms “Service I”

and “Service II” have been used as have the terms “BMW Service” and “BMW Inspection” The

R1100 Repair Manual uses the following terminology:

Inspection I = 1000km (600 mile) Service

Inspection II = BMW Upkeep Service (equivalent to Service I or Minor Service)

Inspection III = BMW Inspection (equivalent to Service II or Major Service)

Inspection IV = Annual Service (to be performed at least once each year regardless of

mileage)

The specified mileage intervals for Inspection II’s and Inspection III’s are in the technical

information in the book(s) supplied with your R1100 motorcycle. All of those I have personally

examined call for an Inspection II at 6,000 miles (10,000km) and each 12,000 miles thereafter.

An Inspection III is called for at 12,000 miles (20,000km) and each 12,000 miles thereafter.

These requirements translate as follows:

600 Miles - Initial service

6,000 Miles - Inspection II (Minor Service)

12,000 Miles - Inspection III (Major Service)

18,000 Miles - Inspection II (Minor Service)

24,000 Miles - Inspection III (Major Service)

Continuing - alternating major and minor services each 6,000 miles)

There may be variations or changes, so check the book that came with your motorcycle.

For simplicity and clarity for the balance of this article, I am going to use the terminology Minor

Service and Major Service to describe the specified maintenance items.

Before going further, a word about the warranty and maintenance requirements. BMW

provides a limited warranty which warrants the motorcycle against defects in materials or

workmanship in the manufacture of the motorcycle. BMW expects that your motorcycle will

receive the specified maintenance at the specified interval. BMW does not require that this

maintenance be performed by certified mechanics at a franchised dealer. However, in the
