Re: r 1200
Looks like you need to ride it west to a club tuning day
I've had these in my 2008 R1200 GSA for 40,000 km now. Still running strong...
NGK iridium plug DCPR8EIX

Fuel system: Run the BMW Fuel system cleaner through. Apply double the recommended doseage to a full tank. Run through a whole tank of fuel and cleaner, then drop your oil and filter.
After the initial double dose and oil change, use as per recommendation on the can. This stuff works. The techron is the important additive. I've tested it in the lab.
Bit of additional reading on the fuel system cleaner... however just use it...

Gearbox and Final Drive: see this post from Wilks, it's still valid. The manual suggests that 1 litre will do both the gearbox and final drive (180ml). I haven't had that experience on the few bikes I've helped with.
1.1 litres is closer to the mark... dammit...
