Hello friends,
My 2012 BMW R1200RT let me stranded by the side of the road two days ago (8 minutes from home), apparently the clutch is gone but haven't had the time to take a closer look.
I'll take the the time in the upcoming days to start striping it and have clear idea of what went wrong. Could be slave cylinder? or a leaky main seal or just a friction plate worm out? perhaps an input drive shaft problem, don't know yet...
Now, there two important issues playing around the failure...
The first one is that I was expecting to take this bike to my first National rally in two months, I'm afraid that this will put me off, time and cost not on my side..., what a bummer
The second is the intimidating task this job seems to be.. definitely in far reaching limit of my abilities, and even if the job could be accomplish on time, I would most certain wont have the chance to properly testing before the National...
Now, I currently trying to figure a plan and find a possible solution.
In the meanwhile I'm looking to get a hold on a Haynes repair manual, however I wonder if anybody has a link to a DIY clutch replacement procedure?
Regards,
Mario
