Here's a simple maintenance task almost anybody can accomplish with just two tools and the key to the motorcycle. BMW Motorrad specifies replacing the air filter every 20,000 kilometers/12,000 miles. If you ride in a particularly dusty/sooty/smoggy environment, you may wish to change your air filter more often. Tools needed: * Key to remove the seat(s) * T25 and T30 drivers Parts/supplies needed: * New air filter, BMW p/n 13 72 7 726 799; MSRP (Aug '26) $44.63 * rags to spread the upper panels apart and for cleanup This air filter is specified for the following BMW motorcycles, listed by *build date*, not model year. The process for replacing the air filter in any of these motorcycles may differ from the process depicted in this video.
