BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Greetings Everyone, After experiencing clutch wear issues late this riding season, I have decided to replace the clutch on my own in an attempt to save a considerable amount of cash. I may also attempt the fuel strip while the bike disassembled. I feel confident that this job is within my abilities ...

As I think about this, one of the worst thinks about this situation is watching the darn warning flash on the display. But, not quite as bad as BMW not taking better care of their base.
