Is there a recommendation for how often to lube the driveshaft splines? I can find no reference to this.

To replace the speedometer bulbs in a BMW R 1100 RT:

1. Remove the instrument cluster by loosening the necessary screws and disconnecting the wiring.
2. Open the back of the cluster to access the bulbs.
3. Identify and remove the burned-out bulbs by gently twisting and pulling them out.
4. Replace them with compatible bulbs, such as BMW part no. 62 14 2 306 127 or equivalent Sylvania mini-bulbs.
5. Reassemble the cluster and reconnect the wiring.
6. Reinstall the instrument cluster and test the bulbs.
