Title: BMW R 1200 RS Tool List Recommendations Post by: zer0netgain on April 08, 2018, 08:40:18 am Pulled the trigger and got the bike. Can anyone recommend the specific “non-typical” tools one will need to do most any maintenance or repair as a DIY project? Obviously you can leave out tools that are only needed for jobs best left to a BMW shop. Thanks. :cool:

It has saved me many thousands of $ in dealership serving costs. https://www.gs911usa.com/ Title: Re: BMW R 1200 RS Tool List Recommendations Post by: chilipeppernorm on April 17, 2018, 02:19:48 am This is the kit I've carried on the last 3 BMW's I've owned, handles most common fittings and such for any on the road repairs. I have a very well equipped roll away tool chest for other maintenance and you'll need a oil filter cap for your socket wrench for oil changes. What you need really depends on how deep in Maintenance and Repair you're going to go. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/cruztools-rtb1-roadtech-bmw-tool-kit
