Bmw K100 Final Drive Oil
Hi! Just a week ago I changed my gear- and finaldrive-oil. (K100RT, build 1987.) Always used Putoline 80W-90 'heavy gear' API GL-5 (and never had any problem shifting; smooth as a baby's bum) Good luck and drive safe! Jos. Hi reef5000, having done this recently, I used 75-90 BMW oil bought from a dealership.
I asked the same question and they responded, "You would only want to run 75w90 in the final drive, the 75w140 is for the transmission on boxers engines. Hypoid Gear Oil 85W-90 1L GL-5 This is a top quality GL 5 gear oil and this is what we recommend for use in the gearbox and final drive of earlier model BMW motorcycles. This gear oil is suitable for: 2 Valve twins 1970 through 1995 K Models from K100 through K1200 RS and LT R1100 Models R1150 Models R1200 C and CL Hypoid Gear Oil SAE 85W-90 is a high-performance, high.
Adding the engine oil, gear box and final drive oil, nice easy job after an engine rebuild this is a must before the first start. Engine sounds really smooth on turn over which is really good! Sometimes you just have to know where the "bodies" are buried! I generally don't remember the capacities, but know that the engine is around 2 liters (depending on oil pan of course), the tranny is fill until it comes out the hole, driveshaft is about 100cc, and the final drive is fill to the bottom of the hole (for my /7).
With the bolts out, pull the final drive off the end. Mine spewed a bit of gear oil over the floor and, weirdly, had silicone sealant around the inside to hold the oil in. I guess the final drive leaks a bit and someone decided it was best to keep it all in the shaft housing? This is probably a Bad Thing but could be normal, I dunno.
Hey guys! So my 1985 BMW K100RS has an almost identical driveshaft situation as my R60: A shaft with a u-joint, ending in a sliding splined interface to the final drive, contained within the swingarm. On the R60 that splined interface is, of course, lubed with oil partially filling the swingarm. I've seen a few mentions in this forum as to that oil being potentially problematic (oil leaking.
