R1200GS Torque Values http://www.r1200gs.info/misc/torque.html “These descriptions and torque values (in Newton-Meters) are taken directly from the BMW REP-ROM for the 2005 model R1200GS (a CD-ROM provided to BMW dealers). The conversions to foot-pounds were done by a Perl script I wrote to multiply the Nm values by 0.738 to produce a ft-lb equivalent (with rounding up or down to the nearest integer value). Apparently, in the past, BMW has printed some incorrect conversions for Nm to ft-lbs, and some of those have been repeated in other publications (including Clymers and Haynes manuals). If the Nm numbers from the REP-ROM are correct, and I have every reason to believe they are, then the ft-lb conversions shown below are also correct. The safest course, I believe, is to use a torque wrench calibrated in Newton-meters. Then there is no uncertainty.” |

BMW R1200GS Registry
The R12GS Registry (one of a bunch of Registries at micapeak.com) is a resource for owners of, and motorcyclists interested in, the BMW R1200GS adventure touring twins. It contains information about mileage, accessories, modifications, problems & fixes, owner’s email addresses, photos, etc. It may be updated in realtime by R12GS owners, so it is always as current as the bike’s owners want it to be.
