BMW R1250GS | R1200GS : Important but Often Overlooked Maintenance Item (Spline Lube Tutorial)

IMPORTANT: Plan to change your final drive fluid at the same time you do this job. It will leak out the speedo/ABS sensor hole when you lower the final drive. Also, there are varying suggestions about what kind of grease or anti-seize compound to use, so do your own research. I used a moly synthetic grease. Also, beware of the driveshaft pulling out from the other end, which then would require complicated re-assembly.

NOTE: My bike had never been apart before, it came dry like this from the factory!

If you are lucky maybe you have heard about lubing the splines on your GS. It doesn't seem to be in the service schedule. This is NOT changing the final drive fluid.

My splines were RUSTY and NOT GREASED at just 3k miles. Here is step by step how to do this.
