Just got a C600 and about to do the first service. It says to check chain sag? I do not see any information on how to do this anywhere?
There are some screw seals you might want to have , if only because you loose one, or they are munged up. Look at the parts drawing. Also get the gasket, as it would be annoying to have the housing leak. And make sure your torx bits are correct for the drain and fill bolts as they are very shallow.
The floor in my shed swallows hardware, I like to have extras of anything you can't get at the auto parts store.
I just finished the chain adjustment, uneventful.
Stage 2 put the chain in spec. I used the BMW oil which is C-SAF-XO 75/90
Only suggestion I would have is be careful putting the cover on so you don't damage the oil seal.
I used an inch pound torque wrench for the hardware.
Time start to finish is an hour.
If you are doing the running in service and the chain does not require adjustment I would still recommend changing the oil.
The oil that came out of mine was really dirty and the drain plug was filled with fluff.
This finished the running in service, only thing I can add with the oil change is to put the filter screen in the plug. It will hold it and align for installation. The front screen was replaced with the pick up pipe, this one will require installing the pipe before the plug because of the alignment notch.
I'll finish by saying this machine is the most fun, to date, that I've had on two wheels.
Glad I bought one.
Keep the stage 1 adjuster as when you look at it closely it does not show any wear. When you hit the 60,000 mile mark or so when the chain set get replaced you now have stage 1 that the dealer will try to sell you.
