2022 r18 classic
Hello guys. I am Turk who lives in Russia.
Bought my r18 classic 2022 from Japanese BDS auction with 300 km only. Unfortunately i don`t have any information about my bike`s service history. I can only say that works have been done according to reverse gear recall (new bracket can be seen under the bike). As far as bike has been in service for reverse gear recall, possible that had some maintanence like oil change, but i have not information at all. Because of sanctions towards Russia, ex BMW services can not reach the database... I have written to BMW Japan for info but no answer... Is there any way to check this history? Will be appreciate .

If it’s only done 300kms, there won’t be any service history as it is due for its first service at 1000kms.

Even though the motorcycle has only 300 kilometers on it, shouldn't it have had an oil change given its age? As far as I know, an oil change is required every 10,000 kilometers or one year. Therefore, I think it may have had an oil change recently. However, I don't have the possibility to check in Russia....
 
Then I would dump every fluid, get them fully replaced (although you should be able to determine approximately how fresh the oil is) and buy a service manual off your local dealer and get whoever does the service to fill it out.
 
+1. Agree with Hunts, just start a fresh and get the bike serviced including fluids then you are good to go. Enjoy your bike and do lots of reading up on the forum, there’s loads of information on here now 👍
