BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

hi, my bike is an 05 r1200rt with 16000 miles on the clock but I think the clutch is slipping a bit, is there any adjustment I can make?

Sorry no.  It might be  oil on the plate.  Check under the clutch housing for signs of oil.  If  there is anything there you hsve a weeping gearbox or engine seal.

I have a low milage (16k) 2006 RT. When I went on tour this year, with the bike fully loaded and the misses on the bike I experianced some clutch slip on day one. I basically diliberately dragged the clutch for a while, It seemed to settle down after that and has been fine ever since. Maybe the lack of use / milage is a factor.

Totally different clutch on an LC, wet instead of dry.  On an 06 either worn out or oily.

thanks for the information il check the plate for oil.

Any resolution?  Curious what you found.  I have an '05

Hum i experienced same problem in a 2005 model , but with 45 000 on the cloock.
At some point found the rear wheel covered with oil, but not aware where it came from.
