Most of you have found that the brake fluid and clutch hydraulic oil reservoirs have child proof caps. Here is the tool that slips in under the cap and pushes those little tabs back so the cap can screw off. Find the tabs slip in the tool over them on each side, leave it in place and unscrew the cap. Best 6$ I have spent on the bike. It is about 2mm thick.

Just bought one off ebay, a tad more than 6 bucks, but agree, money well spent.

I need one of those, last time I used dental floss to tie down the tabs, worked after a few attempts. Can you provide a link where it can be purchased. Thanks

BMW Motorcycles Master Cylinder Cap Release Tool

BMW tools make working on your BMW easier. Even if you've got one in the tool kit, one of these in the tool box is easier to get to when you're "tooling" around the garage! -Brake/clutch master cylinder cap release tool for all recent BMWs with round brake and clutch master cylinder reservoirs...

I knew someone would want directions, this is a very handy tool. I actually paid $6 and some change for mine two years ago or so. But it is well worth it to have one if you do your own work. I shined it on years back thinking who needs that but I learned. In general Sbike, one buys BMW tools from the dealer. Of course if a bypass can be discovered go for it due to the serious prices our friends charge. Such as a vacuum bleed system for the radiator refill. But many times the oem stuff is the only way to go. Like valve timing jigs for S and R bikes.

I fashioned a tool from a piece of coat hanger wire. Works like a champ. Took 5 mins and cost $0.

Yes, good job coming up with something. My main back ground idea was to point out the need for pressing in those tabs.
