2014 RT clutch replacement

[Bobhudak]

I posted on here a couple of months ago about my clutch slipping. I priced the clutch replacement at two dealers in my home state and got quotes of $4000 and $2400. I priced the clutch replacement at BMW Motorcycles of Southeast Michigan for $1100. I had the work done in Michigan where I originally bought the bike. They got the bike back to me in 2 days and the final price was just under the quoted price. I was only in town for a couple of days and on a schedule. I was happy with the work and would highly recommend them to anyone.

The two dealers in my home state are great dealers and I would use them as well. I'm just going to shop around next time I have a big job. And the ride to Michigan from Florida was fun as well!

Did you rreplace with stock parts or aftermarket?

I've been looking at this one if and when I need a replacement. I particularly like the sleeves which slide over the clutch basket fingers.

I had the work done at the dealer and they used BMW parts. It made a huge difference, and the bike runs like a new bike!

How many miles on your bike when the clutch had to be replaced?

When my motor needs a clutch, it's going to be replaced with bmw oem as I believe that's the only game in town for my year/model [ 11RT and 16RS ]

Wow, I would have never expected that much of a difference between dealer quotes from different regions. Thanks for the heads up from just down I-4 a bit.

Was one of your quotes from Haps in Sarasota? That is where I go for service.

I believe there are a number of suppiers would can provide clutch parts for both of those models.

Thanks, my brother just had a Barnett clutch thrown in his 07GT. I looked for them making either for my two and no go. I'll keep searching, thanks

60k clutch replacement

How many miles on your bike when the clutch had to be replaced?

I had 60,000 miles on the bike when I replaced the clutch.

I installed a Rekluse on my one of my dirt bikes; really like it. LOTS of info on Rekluse/dirt bikes. Personally, although I am interested in the Rekluse kit, I would hesitate to install it on my BMW... until I read a lot of positive feedback. I would choose the OEM BMW clutch for now.

If, when needed, I install one I'll be certain to post it here in the Forum.
