Transmission noises? Take it apart!

Post by CycleRob »

No, not my bike. It's on the GS adventure rider site. an excellent thread I stumbled on looking for something else. It's a lengthy post, with many pics, of a GS1150 transmission disassembly and rebuild. He even has a YouTube video of a very troubling transmission problem that you must click on to see & hear first.

If we ever are smitten with this type of failure, at least you can save some money and take the transmission off, then drop it off at a BMW dealer.
