K1300GT

The K1300GT was tested by Cycle World and achieved a rear wheel power of 105.2 kW (141.1 hp) and torque of 86.0 lb⋅ft (116.6 N⋅m). Despite its performance, like any motorcycle, it is susceptible to breakdowns. In such situations, owning a BMW K1300GT service manual can be invaluable in quickly getting your K1300GT back on the road.

In 2008, the K1200GT was succeeded by the K1300GT, which offered even higher quality, increased power throughout the drivetrain, and an aerodynamic fairing. It seamlessly combined agility and sporty riding dynamics with the perfect package for long tours. With its engine output of 160 hp and maximum torque of 135 Newton-meters (99 lb⋅ft), the new K1300GT stood out as one of the most powerful motorcycles in its class, benefitting from an enlarged engine size.

True to BMW's signature style, the K1300GT met the highest demands in terms of riding dynamics, safety, comfort, and equipment. It inherited innovative features from the K1300S, ensuring exceptional riding safety, performance, and technology. While the suspension and drivetrain were largely derived from the K1300S, they were specifically adapted for the K1300GT.

The K1300GT shared its power unit with the K1300S, but the engine underwent modifications in terms of guidance and airflow. This resulted in a remarkable increase in maximum output, surpassing the K1200GT by 8 hp and reaching a new record level of 160 hp. The enhanced torque provided improved pulling force and traction at low and medium engine speeds.

In terms of equipment, the K1300GT set a new standard. Its running gear and excellent suspension were complemented by optional electronically adjustable ESA II (Electronic Suspension Adjustment II). Additional features included an electrically adjustable windshield, electronic cruise control, and individually controlled seat heating for both the passenger and rider. However, it is important to remember that in case of any repair needs, a BMW K1300GT workshop manual can greatly facilitate the process.
