Re: Getting an r60/6 running after sitting for over 20 years
I change my oil every two thousand miles, but rarely do I ride less than an 50 mile ride so things get warmed up good, works out any moisture in the engine. I do my filter every four thousand miles.
Gear oils are at 20,000, forks once a year. St.

The drain plug currently has a magnet on it. I'll probably drop the pan after I put some mileage on it.

The old BMW /2 bikes didn't have filters so it was part of the maintenance to drop the pan and clean it out.
The more you ride and change the oil, the less you need to drop the pan,LOL. St.
