Hello!
I've joined the community to see if you can help me diagnosis my problem. The bike is a BMW R80RT, new to me, been driving for a year, about 80K+ on it. Over the winter I did a spline lube and replaced the rear main seal. Have been driving it around no problem.
The incident: going up a steep hill with my wife and I. Some idiot in font of me decided to come to a complete stop for absolutely no reason what so ever.. I have to come to a complete stop, but I don't do a great job of down shifting. End of reving the bike up pretty pretty high, wife an I both got the smell of something burning.
The symptoms: As I'm driving home I'm noticing some power vs RPM issues. I park the bike and walk away once I get home. A few days later I get on the bike and notice that I'm not getting the power I would expect going through the gears. Acceleration is really slow for the amount of RPMs I'm seeing. As I shift up through the gears I'm not getting the toque you'd expect... it doesn't feel like I'm getting what I'm supposed to as I shift through the gears, it takes forever to accelerate. Did not try taking the bike above 40-50 mph.
I removed the valve covers and got the gaps to .2 and .1 mm respectively, cold compression test is 125 lbs on both sides. Took the bike for a ride around the block, didn't fix my problem.
My fear is that I chewed up my transmission, not really sure regarding next steps on figuring out the problem.
Anyone have suggestions/opinions?
