This Is What 35,000 km Did To Our BMW R1300 GSA!

Malaysia Motorcycle Tour | Season 5, Episode 28 After 35,000 km of riding around the world, through heat, rain, dust, traffic, mountains and long motorway days, we finally take our BMW R1300 GSA into an official BMW Motorrad workshop in Kuala Lumpur for a full inspection. Over the last few weeks we have been sharing photos from checks on the bike and asking a simple question: how many problems do you think we found? The comments have been loud, especially around the cardan shaft, reliability, and long distance durability of the R1300 GSA. In this episode, we stop guessing and let BMW take a proper look. This visit is not only about inspection. We are also carrying out a full service and oil change using Motul, the same oil we have used throughout this round the world motorcycle journey. From extreme heat and humidity to heavy loads and long days on the road, Motul has been our choice for keeping the R1300 GSA running consistently across thousands of kilometres. In this video you will see: • A full BMW workshop inspection of our BMW R1300 GSA • The bike after 35,000 km of real world adventure riding • Close inspection of the drivetrain and cardan shaft • A Motul oil change and why we run Motul on this journey • Honest discussion around reliability and long distance use This is not a showroom bike. This is a fully loaded motorcycle that has been ridden every single day across continents, serviced on the road, and maintained for long distance travel using Motul. No opinions. No rumours. Just real kilometres, real maintenance, and real use of a BMW R1300 GSA on a round the world ride. 👉 Watch to the end and make up your own mind. 🛒 Our Travel Shop: Explore our travel-tested gear & stickers: https://seanandemilytravels.com/shop 🗺️ Navigation App – calimoto: Get a 30-day free trial ➤ Use code: S&E30 Get 10% off yearly plans ➤ Use code: S&E10 Start here: https://linktr.ee/calimoto_SeanandEmily 🛟 Travel Safety – Protected by Global Rescue: Worldwide emergency rescue, evacuation, and medical support for overlanders: https://www.globalrescue.com/lp/sean-... 🚀 What’s Coming: We’re riding around the world on our BMW R1300 GSA — a 2-year global expedition across Europe, Asia, and beyond.
