Bmw Rt1100 Oil Problems

MATTHEW · 06-02-2005, 12:03 AM

I own a 5 year old BMW RT1100 with 3200 miles on it, i have noticed an oil leak coming from the little glass oil level display window ,i think that the o ring may be faulty.
Has anyone had the same problem and if so is it a big job to replace/

Its easy to fix during an oil change. Melt a hole in the center with a soldering iron, and use a screwdriver to pop the old one out. Then, using a socket sized to support the outside, tap the new one into the engine block. Not too hard.
