Really not that bad. Looks kind of intimidating but not. Just did mine, about 8 minutes to get everything off. I use a K&N filter. While the filter was drying I ran a powerpoint to the front. Ended up real easy re assembly. Lay everything on the ground in the order you take it off. there are only two different lengths of screws. Pretty straight forward of what goes where. The power screwdriver is a plus but not really necessary. I have a three volt cheapy that worked great. Thanks for the video, was a huge help.

Just wondering, why do I need to take my trunk off to put in a new filter?

You are very welcome! I didn't mean this video is a "how to" tutorial but I'm glad it helps somehow. :)

for the lights, I connected directly to the battery, that way the lights still ON when you take the ignition key out. For other accessories like radar detector, ect. I tapped to the wires behind the plug (front of your right knee). So, when the key off, radar detector should be off too.

nice video, man!

That's crazy to have to do all that!

So much easier than replacing an air filter on a GL1800 - think my next bike's gonna be a K1600GTLE Exclusive. Cool Video, thanks.

Wild I never would have guessed cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video well done

If the airbox is right there, where is the fuel tank? Is it below the airbox?

Could you do a video where you show slowly how to remove all the "Tupperware" on the K1600 and where all the screws are located?

Good Video !!!!!

according to bmw replacing an air filter is part of a 12000 mile service as well as checking valve clearance, did we skip a step?

why you take off top box?

Me encantan las BMW, he tenido varias. Pero siempre es lo mismo, para cambiar un simple filtro de aire, hay que desarmar media moto. Tengo una ST1300 de Honda, en 15' se levanta el tanque de nafta que viene con una bisagra, se instala una pequeña barra para sostenerlo, se saca el filtro y se pone uno nuevo. Lo único que hay que tener en cuenta, es tener poco combustible a la hora de cambiar el filtro, solo por el peso, algo insignificante como detalle. Las BMW después de sacar 30 tornillos que aprietan contra el platico, queda un concierto de chirridos hasta que se vuelve a acomodar, diabólicamente pensado para tener que llevar la moto a la agencia, hasta para inflar las ruedas...La K1200RS hay que desarmar todo el carenado, para cambiar el filtro de aire, una locura !

Does anyone know what the part number is for the filter?

Thanks for the video Why would U take the rear top box off?

My bike is due for a service in a couple of months. Since they'll be in there anyways, I'll let them put the K & N in. Anyone have any input on performance after having put in a K & N?

Pourquoi retirer la selle et top case ?? 🤔🤔🤔

Awesome video. It would be so great if you can upload an uncut version (i.e., without jumping to the next part as soon as one part is done).

shorter and less complicated to remove than Goldwing GL1800.

Ottimo ! hai altri video? Vorrei mettere la luce pavimento , tu sai dove è il plug della corrente) Grazie Great! you have other videos? I would like to put the light floor, you know where is the plug of the current) Thanks

🤦🏾 What they are smoking at BMW?

Jeez, all that to replace an air filter? WTF was BMW thinking?

Too much work!

????????????????????????????

way too many steps that aren't required; e.g. loosening side panels, individually separating tank panels, etc..

I got same bikes 🙄

way too fast editing between all the steps

looks worse than what it is
