International shipping is available for the JVB Productions BMW R1200 36K Maintenance DVD.
This video covers all of the following categories, and is designed to allow you to complete all the requirements for maintaining your bike to BMW specifications. It is designed for ALL R1200 series motorcycles (not including the R1200 cruisers), though it is centered around the R1200GS since that is what was available for filming.
Note: The DVD was designed around the R1200 series BMWs from 04 - 06. It is still technically accurate for up to 09 bikes with a few exceptions. The brakes on the newer bikes bleed slightly differently, and the final drive fluid change is slightly different.

All necessary tools, supplies and torque specifications to complete all the listed services are mentioned. Also, many helpful tips and notes are included to make this as simple as possible.
Consider this, the tool to remove and install the alternator belt is nearly $150. This video will teach you how to do it with no special tools, a savings of $125 right there.
A typical 6K service will run you around $300 - 350, depending on location. The brake bleed/flush alone can run as high as $400.
What is not included, since the producer felt they were self-explanatory, was how to check your tires and lights.
This DVD should assist those of you on the fence in deciding you CAN do these expensive services yourself and save money for all important farkles... and gas for riding!
