I just started flushing the brake fluid in my 2020 R1250R. Front went fine but I couldn't get the rear reservoir cap off. It appears to be a twist off but won't budge. Am I missing something?
And is there a reasonably priced service manual anywhere for wetheads?
it's a twist off. But why would yo flush the brake fluid on a 2020 bike? first it's a once very 2 years thing .

Thanks to all. I guess it just needs a bit more torque but I didn't want to force it when it's easy to check on this site.
it's a twist off. But why would yo flush the brake fluid on a 2020 bike? first it's a once very 2 years thing and second it's rather complicated as you have to flush the ABS system as well. Unless you have the leaking Hayes calipers your brakes are better left alone. Your favorite dealer can flush your brake system when you change tires in a couple of years. Will take him around 15 minutes including resetting the pressure modulator and the ECU.

the tech used the wrong bit on the torx head screws on my front master and chewed up the heads.
The brake fluid scheduled is after 1 year and then every 2 year thereafter.
I've learned my lesson, which is "Why would I want the dealer to do something I could do better myself?"
When I do it myself it still takes less time than going to dealer to have it done, nothing gets damaged, and they work/feel as they should.
Just for my fellow tool-hogs, here's the difference (picture pulled off the 'net) ...
If BMW used torx plus on one cover to mess with us I wish they had put torx plus on the clutch reservoir cover.
I have no reason to touch that cover.
Are they interchangeable?
Are the brakes Brembo?
Do you suppose diffferent suppliers? Poor specifications? Use what they send?
2019 R1250RT, 12K service in progress. Got my Speed Bleeders in the mail yesterday. Will flush brake system this evening.
