    i found that quite a bit of old oil stays behind when the bike is on the center stand, after I tilted it to the left, a half a cup of oil came gushing out…

    Hi Albe,

    For a 2013 model F800GS is it best to use part number KN-160 or KN-164?

    Thanks,

    James

    Thanks for the nice article! However, a couple changes are in order to improve it:

    The torque units aren’t right, please fix them. Note the capitalization: lb-ft (multiply, not divide) and N-m

    The oil must meet the JASO MA specification; please clearly specify this.

    For not-so-hot climates (temperature does not regularly go over 100 degrees / 38C, 15W40 may be a better choice.

      what do you mean they are not right? if you refer to the capital letters, you are right and I changed them, if you talk about the actual torque value, it comes straight from the BMW service manual.
      Thanks for adding info about the oil specs.

    Actually, this site recommends the KN-163 if there is room. If that doesn’t fit, use the KN-164 for the older models as well (the only difference between the 3 filters is the length). FWIW, the KN-164 fit my 2012 F800GS (US model) with touratech skid plate just fine. Others’ mileage may vary, of course.
