What 45,000km Did To Our BMW R1300 GSA

Motul NGEN Oil Change & 45,000km Service | Real-World Test on the R1300 GSA 45,000km on a BMW R1300 GSA… and it was finally time to open the engine. In this episode we ride from Oamaru to Dunedin, New Zealand, for one of the biggest milestones of our round-the-world motorcycle journey… the major 40,000km service on our BMW R1300 GSA. Except there’s one problem… we didn’t make it there until 45,000km. After riding across Europe, Central Asia, China, Southeast Asia and New Zealand two-up with everything we own strapped to the bike, we wanted to know the same thing many people are asking before buying one: How does the BMW R1300 GSA actually hold up in the real world after serious mileage? So we take Storm to McIver & Veitch Motorcycles in Dunedin, New Zealand’s oldest motorcycle dealership, to inspect the engine, carry out the major service and see what 45,000km of real adventure riding has actually done inside the bike. No test track. No press launch. No perfect conditions. Just real roads, real weather, real weight and real long-distance travel around the world. For this service we’re running Motul NGEN 7 oil, and this is our first major inspection since leaving the UK. If you’re interested in the BMW R1300 GSA, long-term motorcycle reliability, adventure bike ownership, around-the-world motorcycle travel, BMW Motorrad touring or what high mileage really looks like on a modern GS… this one matters. #BMWR1300GSA #R1300GSA 🛒 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:
