Clutch replacement on BMW K1200GT with wet clutch 

Maik Villar nnnnbbbbbbn

👍

Yes, the procedure is the same.

Clutch and transmission is ALWAYS weak point of any bmw :0) designed by bmw to be broken after guarantee time.

​@@bearowaty1nonsense. Vile nonsense.

82phalanX I've got 73K on the original OEM clutch & about to replace it with a Barnett. Will report back in a few days.

@@R1fanatic112 no report yet on the Barnett clutch replacement? I just went over 50k and i've been thinking of doing this upgrade.

@@GSXR1300X I replaced the clutch at 85K with the Barnett. Easy to follow instructions. I refused the bolts from the side cover with no issues. The gasket was perfect & I sisnt use any sealer when putting the cover back. No leaks. Tighten those bolts by hand until "tight". Dont do too tight. Clutch lasted until 145K when the lower cam chain guide disintegrated on the freeway. I'm in the middle of replacing it right now.

@@R1fanatic112 did u find that its easier to shift into neutral with that upgrade.

@@GSXR1300X the only issues I've has with shifting into N was I had to bleed the clutch or the seals in the CV lurch master failed. The seals are the same as a KTM 13mm clutch master cylinder seals. Replace these / bleed the clutch "I used fork mineral oil" & it will shift smooth without a clunk into N.

+Bruno Fernando De Freitas Ribeiro yes and thanks

You have to lock the engine from turning, I recommend to use BMW tools but it should be possible to do this by sticking in a screwdriver into crankshaft position sensor hole or locking rear wheel from turning - do this only on your own risk!

Alsmotorrad Bmw Uh ok Als! I'll do that... let's see what happens.... many thx!

Hi, I have more or less the same question: Doesn't the "locating pin" that you put in the position sensor's place do the same as the "driver lock" ? In other words: do you really need both ?

that's what I was thinking. unfortunately no reply. unless you found the answer already.

apparently he's not going to reply.

+Doug Massey something is not right here, get a replacement kit from Barnett or reuse BMW plate

Doug Massey and

I just replaced my clutch with the Barnett replacement and was concerned about the spacer ring on the original cluster is different on the Barnett, I asked BMW mechanic and was told to only fit the Barnett plates without the original spacer ring.. clutch works fine..no problems

Just remove the cluster plate 6 bolts and remove the pressure plate.. a normal 30mm socket fits easily.. no need to machine down a socket at all!

Hi how are you I was looking you to video what a great video he tells you with so many details you make it easy for anybody else doing I have a question for you I have a 2007 BMW is a K 1200 GT I have problems with my clutch at the beginning you could go in gear first gear and Engine will cut off I change the slave cylinder is still the same do you know why if you’re still around will you responded please thank you sir

because the hub is behind the basket, you have to remove the 30mm nut

Patrick v.d. Hee Patrick. I replaced the clutch slave cylinder with one from Oberon, around £100. Much lighter feel and not so much juddering. Replace oil with 5w - 40w. I am now going to either clean the plates or install new ones as still a little judder and clunk into 1st from neutral. Really bad show from BMW. I have the K1200R Sport. To get value I will keep it one more year, then I’m going Japanese again (GSX1000F ?) as they are better designed, easier to work on at home and spares are expensive but not BMW expensive.

@@robplazzman6049 Wow, I must be lucky that my '07 R-Sport went over 93K before the clutch basket locked me into 5th gear after a not-too-exceptionally-hard launch from a stop sign. Once I got the 5th, the clutch started slipping, huge amount of rattle rock-n-roll and then nothing. I gather since you posted two years ago that the R-Sport is no longer in your stable?!😉

@@MauriceSimeoni Lol. Actually it is ! Barnett plates, 1300 oil feed, WP race rear shock, upgraded front shock. Clutch is still not as good as it should be but I will suffer it out until next summer. Once it gets going on a fast road it is a superb bike and does munch up the miles, but I expect better from the brand.

Change the clutch

+Alsmotorrad Bmw the 2003 k1200gt is the same instructions to replace the clutch?
