Bmw F 800 Gs Adventure 2015
This is the maintenance schedule and service intervals for the BMW F 800 GS Adventure (sometimes called the GSA by its loyal fans), BMW's middleweight adventure motorcycle, made from model years 2013 through to 2018.
The BMW F 800 GS was first announced in 2007 for the 2008 model year, when it was introduced along with the new F 650 GS (with the same capacity detuned parallel twin motor, and other lower specs).
The F 800 GS Adventure was released some time later, in mid 2013. It's powered by the same engine as in the base model F 800 GS — a 798cc four-valve-per-cylinder DOHC parallel twin engine that made 63 kW (71 hp) @ 7,000 rpm, and maximum torque of 75 Nm at 4,500 rpm, relatively low.
In 2016, BMW added ride by wire to both the base GS and GS Adventure, eliminating the throttle cable (which you previously had to keep lubed), but the maintenance schedule otherwise stayed the same.
In 2018, BMW updated this model, replacing the F 800 GS Adventure with the F 850 GS Adventure for the 2019 model year.

About the BMW F 800 GS Adventure
The base model F 800 GS already had off-road adventure orientation — it had a 21 inch tyre and long-travel suspension.
BMW announced the F 800 GS Adventure in May 2013 as an all-new model, based on the existing F 800 GS.
But the F 800 GS Adventure built further upon this, by adding the following long-range features:
- Larger 24 litre fuel tank (50% larger), extending range by approximately 120 km/75 miles
- Standard ABS
- New, adventure-styled bodywork
- A larger windscreen
- Enduro footrests
- Reinforced rear subframe
- An adjustable, reinforced foot brake lever
- An engine protection bar
- Pannier rack which functions as a tank protection bar
BMW used the same 798cc dual overhead-cam liquid-cooled parallel twin for the F 800 GSA as in the F 800 GS. It's a torque-forward 360-degree parallel twin that makes a peak of 63 kW (85 hp) @ 7,500 rpm, with toruqe peaking a little lower at 5,750 rpm.
An unusual characteristic of the F 800 GS' parallel twin engine is the firing order. It has a 360 degree crank, which means one firing cycle for each crankshaft rotation. The pistons move up and down together. This means the sound is just like that of boxer engines (i.e. the bigger GSA brethren), which have the same firing offset.
However, unlike the bigger boxers, the F 800 GS and F 800 GSA don't have that "kick over to the side" feeling you get when you crack the throttle.
The pistons moving together leads to some vibration, which is smoothed out using a balance shaft. Despite this, the F 800 GS is still a vibey-bike, but so are all BMW adventure bikes.
BMW claims the 360-degree crank gives the engine unique torque characteristics, but the later F 850 GS also has unique torque characteristics with its 270-degree crank.
As you'd expect from an adventure bike, the BMW F 800 GS Adventure has ample suspension travel. The front forks (which are conventional forks, not Telelever like on the R 1200 GS) give you 230mm of travel.
The first BMW F 800 GS Adventure uses the updated parallel twin that the F 800 GS received in 2013.
In 2017, BMW updated the engine again, adding ride by wire with ride modes. However, aside from lacking a throttle cable, there was no impact on the maintenance schedule.
After 2018, BMW retired the F 800 GS Adventure in favour of the F 850 GS Adventure.
