So, my 2013 F8GS reached 80 000 km yesterday. As I owned it from new, and I did the servicing myself, I know what was done to it.
Mine is a commuting tool for the most part, I have a 76km round trip per day.
Oil: every 10 000 km. I use whatever 15W40 diesel oil that is on special at the co-op. No top-op oil ever needed.
Oil filters: From 20 000 km only every 2nd oil change.
Air filter: Uni foam filter from new. It actually came out of a 2011 R12GSA
Bulbs: 2 dim 1 bright
Sparkplugs: 65 000 km
Chains Sprockets: 3 sets - got about 18k km on OEM set, about 25k km on DID chain and Motrix sprockets
Fuel: 4.7 l/100km
Tyres: lots, but I tend to buy used ones at a friend's shop :lol8:
Clutch: original, but getting ready to replace
Brakes: (R) on the 3rd read set of pads. The Rear Rotor will need replacement soon as its at the wear limit
(F) original discs, but I have ordered 2 sets of pads for fitment in the next 1000 km
Suspension: Forks: new fork oil at 45000 km, new oil seals and oil at 75k km. Dust seals and all bushes still original
Shock: unopened, never serviced. Heim joint original
Wheel Bearings: Original
Steering Bearings: Replaced at 40 k km. BearingMan off the shelf.
Injector Cleaning: 84 000 km
Valve Adjust: 87 400 km
Repacked the Akrapovic (for the first time ): 90 000km Used the Delo 400 MGX. Could not detect any differences
And that is it. Makes for a very economical commuter: like a Fiat Uno :snorting:
