Excellent helpful articulate video one of the best that I have seen so far. Suggestion, when torquing the clutch plates in place, tighten the bolts by going to the OPPOSITE bolt each time rather than tightening in a clockwise or counter clockwise circular manner. This ensures an evenly tightened load on the clutch plates. Nice very helpful well paced video for a change, thank you.
Good video. Happy that BMW finally went to wet clutches. What a pain to do the job on the dry clutch in my K100RS. Many Thanks. Steve
Thanks for such an awesome video!
I am looking forward to putting my K1200R in neutral again! 😉
Good job at simplifying this job and explaining the process (steps), and the correct order, including the special crankcase position sensor and how that tool is used to keep the motor from spinning.
Excellent instructional video. I wouldn't try to replace the clutch without having watched it!
Nice job! Very clear and instructive
Excellent video Algis!

Subbed, Liked and shared on our social media.. Very useful video.
Nice job... thanks...👏👏👏
Fantastic good video - Thank you for that :)
Perfect, i already has clutch form Barnett, but if i make movement with bike on 1st gear when is my k12s cold, the bike is go to the movement with jerk (skip, hop...)
AWESOME VIDEO !!!! How would I know if I might have to replace teh clutch basket as well ? What should I be loking for ?...... I was riding my bike 2007 K1200GT @ 77K miles in 6th gear. I got on the throttle and it rev;d to about 5k / 6k and the bike speed did not increase. Then, did not have any forward motion in any gear and slowed to a stop. With the enghine on or off, the bike rolls smoothly in any gear (no engagement) without clutch pulled in... The bike has been hard to find neutral lately as well..
Great video, would this be the same for an '08 k1200s?
Great video !!! Would you recommend the Barnett Clutch Kit?
Thanks!
Exultant video
Thanks good information, does seem like you should just put that $10.00 jump guard on since your right there.
thank you !
👍
Thanks you...!!!
Can you tell me if it is crucial to torque the 6 cluster pressure plate bolts to 8nm as I only torqued mine to 5nm as that felt quite hard and I didn't want to risk stripping the aluminium thread by applying too much torque.PS I replaced the 6 bolts with longer threaded bolts for more purchase!Please reply!
Hi great video, can you post item numbers for spareparts and website you order the various parts :)
I noticed the cam drive jump guard not in place, missing or not installed?
Hi Al, great video, Thank you for sharing. I wonder if you do general maintenance work out of your home garage, I have 2005 K1200s looking for ABS Fluid replacement, Spark plug replacement, and over general maintanace. Do you provide these services out of your home garage? thank you, GSP
Would it be advisable to replace that bearing too?
Gracias.
I’m going to be doing the clutch on my 2003 and 2006 k1200 GT’s
Do you know of a good source that shows a complete engine swap? I assume you have to do this clutch removal to remove the engine? Sorry for stupid questions, I’m not a gear head and certainly not a mechanic, just a bike commuter who loved his k1200s until the engine blew up despite regular dealer maintenance. Can’t afford to have them do the replacement.
Hi! actually I don't understand what the crankshaft block bolt was used for?!
Thanks for the video. I have a 2007 K1200R (Australian delivered). Is this exactly the same procedure on my bike? I don't have any slipping or problems changing gear but there is an intermittent rattle in the clutch at idle and there is a harshness between 2,000 and 3,500 RPM that feels like it might be coming from the clutch. The bike has only done 30,000km/18,000 miles.
Yes, the procedure is the same.
Very well done, thank you. Is the clutch a weak point of this motorbike? Since I see on the internet that it is replaced so often on so many K1200GT's.
Clutch and transmission is ALWAYS weak point of any bmw :0) designed by bmw to be broken after guarantee time.
@@bearowaty1nonsense. Vile nonsense.
I don't see a point to getting that crank shaft tool when you have the clutch spanner to hold the assembly from moving. thoughts? Anybody switch out the cam chain tensioner to a manually adjustable one?
how much do these clutch parts cost? can they be had aftermarket?
Surprised you did not replace the clutch bearing while you were at it.
Hi there! really goos video!... i'd like to ask you a question; is it possible to do without the "locating pin" or is it indispensable? if it's possible, how would it be?... thx very much!... (keep posting!)
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 ?
👍👍👍
Hi... The procedure and the parts are the same in a 2005 k1200r? By the way, great video.
+Bruno Fernando De Freitas Ribeiro yes and thanks
love the video. How does the barnett clutch kit compare to OEM?
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.
May I ask the reason for using the locating pin "11 1 842" when the timing won't be disturbed by removing the clutch plates & not the whole basket?
that's what I was thinking. unfortunately no reply. unless you found the answer already.
apparently he's not going to reply.
Please link me where the hell you found that 30mm socket.
Salve,ho visto il suo video diverse volte,vivo in italia,e non riesco a trovare un sito dove vendono la chiave per smontaggio frizione e il bloccacatena ,può aiutarmi trovare chi li vande ? La ringrazio anticipatamente, e le faccio i complimenti per il video,io posseggo una k1200r grazie ancora !!!
Question. I have the purchased the exact same replacement clutch. The first plate that slides on is supposed to fit snuggly around the metal o-ring that sits at the bottom. The Original BMW plate fits, but the Barnnett clutch plate is too narrow to fit around the o-ring. Is this an design error, are you supposed to re-use the first plate from BMW? Or did I get a defective part?
+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
Way easier than the rt 👍
I can't seem to find a 30mm socket with such small diameter, any idea where I could find one? and does 39.49 fit snug or I have some room there? Thanks!
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

How many hours jib
I have had my clutch replaced a few times already because of a very loud grinding/squeeking noise when rolling away 1st gear from a stop. They tell me to install the clutch of a K1300, but the costs are, let's say, significant. Are you familiar with the issue and do you know where it is coming from, and what to repair? The whole clutch is just newly installed for the second time and it still does it... Some say it's normal, but I don't believe that, for numerous reasons. I am just desperate for help on this one!!
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.
I think I am missing something here...if your end goal was simply to replace the plates, why not just undo the 6 bolts in the center and pull the plates out, leaving the hub on the bike?
because the hub is behind the basket, you have to remove the 30mm nut
How about the gear boxes wear?
I'm rebuilding many of them all weared out and BMW would sell the whole gearbox....
My question is mine when The Motorcycle is off shift normal but when I Start The Engine dont engate tje shift any sugestión?
Change the clutch
+Alsmotorrad Bmw the 2003 k1200gt is the same instructions to replace the clutch?
hola, he visto tu video, es muy agradable, y lo encuentro muy útil, pero también tengo problemas con el embrague, mon risco para encontrar el bloqueo de la cadena de distribución, si puede ser tan cortés para comunicar el bloqueo del número de código cadena de distribución, o un sitio donde puede comprar la herramienta, gracias de antemano, y lo felicito por su video (para comunicar cualquier respuesta me gustaría recibir un correo electrónico, con el archivo de la 'herramienta para comprar "vit.gennaro@tiscali. eso "
Sorry but your video missed something important, the steel plates the one side is different from the other, do you know that? maybe you have done damage allready, if you dont know how is better to go to find someone who knows.
video would be half the length without all the "uhhs uhms"
