Re: Clutch / gearbox failure?

Well, I got a video and then I saw it on my own: the input shaft spins freely while the clutch doesn't move at all: the splines on the disc are gone. Not sure about the splines on the input shaft as the motorcycle hasn't been torn down yet. I need to order today the clutch disc that has the worn out...

Re: Clutch / gearbox failure?

Yeah, now I'm thinking... what if it's the drive gear that couples with the flywheel teeth? I can't find a picture and I don't know enough about mechanics for describing it any better, but it would be the gear that would engage with this: https://cdn3.volusion.com/2b95c.ejoz3/v/vspfiles/photos/Clutc...

Re: Clutch / gearbox failure?

Take the thing apart before trying to diagnose blindly. Could be any of a number of things. How many miles on the bike???? Hi Swamper, the bike is now at the shop, they say they need to strip it down completely in order to see and do anything. I know that the splines can be inspected from the side ...

Re: Clutch spline destruction

After much searching I found that the bmw input shaft is back ordered indefinitely from bmw. There is a guy in British Columbia who makes improvd replacement shafts - he thinks they are worth $1250 and is soliciting orders. Sorry but that is just not acceptable to me. After much research and search...

Clutch / gearbox failure?

So... I think I know what the problem is, but when I was riding this morning I lost "drive" all in a sudden: the engine was working fine, but my rear wheel wasn't "connected" to it. There was a broken gears/metal sound coming from somewhere, so I decided to stop. When I put it on...

Re: TB Rattling

Hi, I've got the same problem (I think) on my R1150R, and I'd like to know what you guys mean by TB... throttle body perhaps?

Re: New user, new to me bike

The ABS warning seemed to be related to low battery indeed.

How about the muted clunkclunkclunk / drundrundrundrun in the clutch? it sound when in N, and disappears using the clutch...

Re: New user, new to me bike

Lots of things to check! Now the bike is definitively better, and I feel a bit safer after some of the sounds have been identified; for example, one horrible sound like junk being shaked was coming from the plastic housing that wraps the control panel. That's good... more or less. Today the bike has...

Re: New user, new to me bike

I think that I was overwhelmed by the combo of smoke, low tyres pressure (making it close to impossible to take curves), the new normal noises, and the abnormal ones. Right now is in the shop, and tomorrow the engine will be inspected and the valves adjusted. A friend thinks (hopes) that the valves ...

Re: New user, new to me bike

Hi again, I picked the bike: it looked good, when I tested 2 days ago all the sounds were OK, and today I could shift with no problem.... however, to go to work was scary: 1. the transmission was doing weird noises (weird to me at least, and I don't mean when shifting or using the clutch, I mean con...

Re: New user, new to me bike

I'm also seriously considering a servoctomy, and save the money I can get from the iABS for a possible future problem with the clutch / transmission shaft xD

Re: New user, new to me bike

Any special advice regarding clutch and shifting technics? apparently it shouldn't be used in the same way than wet clutch bikes... and when I commute there's a lot of traffic jams... which lead to heavy use of clutch. What exactly is "clutch slipping"? is it to use gas AND a bit of clutch...

do you mean 2004?

or are you picking up a 2014 1200r?

welcome!
Mind fart, sorry. I meant 2004 indeed.

I tested 2 days ago and I found a bit hard to get from N to 1st gear... bad symptom?
