BMW R1200 Hexhead & Camhead
Servicing & Repair Specialist
At Overland & Classic Motorcycles, we specialise in servicing and maintaining BMW R1200 Hexhead/Singlecam and Camhead/Twincam motorcycles. With many years of experience working on these models from their introduction, we have developed an in-depth understanding of their common wear points, known issues and the preventative maintenance required to keep them reliable. Our BMW R1200 servicing is thorough, detailed and focused on long-term reliability rather than simply carrying out a basic service schedule. We believe preventative maintenance is essential, particularly on motorcycles that are now reaching higher mileages and are often used for long-distance touring, commuting and adventure riding.

BMW R1200 Final Drive Inspection & Maintenance
The BMW R1200 final drive is a known area requiring careful monitoring as these motorcycles age. As part of our servicing, we drop the final drive and inspect the drivetrain components, including checking the crown wheel bearing and pinion bearings for signs of wear, play or deterioration. Early detection of bearing wear can prevent more expensive failures and help ensure your BMW remains dependable.
