R1200 DVD
This is Jim van Baden's R1200 Maintenance DVD
The video covers all of the following categories, and is designed to allow you to complete all the requirements for maintaining your bike to BMW specifications. It is designed for ALL R1200 series motorcycles (Not including the R1200 cruisers), though it is centered around the R1200GS since that is what Jim had available for filming.

Jim has included the necessary tools, supplies and torque specifications to complete all the listed services. Jim has also added many helpful tips and notes to make this as simple as possible.
Correction NOTICE:
There is a mistake on the DVD, in the valve adjusting procedure section on the torque value of the three rocker arm support bolts, T45 head. This is ONLY applicable IF you adjust the rocker arm end play. Not for simple valve adjustments. The torque value listed was 40nm, and the real torque value is 20nm.
Jim had originally verified the torque value with both the factory manual on DVD, as well as online with a reputable source. Either they are both mislabeled, or they are not clear. Nonetheless, the correct value is 20nm, not 40nm. The head bolt, 15mm, torque value is correct as stated.
