My 2021 BMW GS Adventure goes through a 24,000 full service at Foothills Motorcycles in Lakewood, Colorado. This is not meant to be a step by step tutorial (nor does this document every moment of the service itself) but rather, a showcase of how detailed this operation is while being conducted by a professional. Information on this service is below, which was taken from the Repair Order and Maintenance Schedule Details. Pricing has been left out intentionally as this could vary depending on when and where you have your motorcycle serviced. A big thank you to Chance the General Manager of Foothills and to Tyler, the Service Manager, for allowing this to be to filmed.

Final thoughts: If you made it this far into the description I applaud you and as such, will reward you with a fun fact. In the video you might have noticed (but probably not) that the Dunlop Trailmax Raid front tire is mounted backwards, which is completely my own fault (I did that in my garage). This was fixed by the dealership after we shot the video and I apologized deeply for being a moron.
