BMW F850GS Adventure: Modifications & 5,500 km update

Got the mobile mount relocation done as the old mount was little difficult to see.

BHPian Rahulkool recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Got the engine oil and oil filter changed at 5500kms, recommended interval is 10k kms. I do this for all the bikes/cars I own, just to be sure that all the run-in metal shaving and gunk is out of the engine. Modern engines don't need it as much but did it anyway. The total bill for the same was little less than 7000rs.

Got the mobile mount relocation done as the old mount was a little difficult to see, looking down even for a fraction of a seconds can be dangerous sometimes. This relocation kit is available from

BMW, installation was done at the company service center. The cost for the same was 16500rs.

Old mobile mount, you have to look down to have a glance at the map

The new mount is very much in the line of sight
