This valve clearance shit on these modern bikes is a licence to print money. yup. its also a HUUUUge pain in the arse to get the tank off and airbox out of these bikes, it's the main gripe of owners who want to do their own maintenance. I did it once to see if I could change the air filiter. I can but it took me nearly an hour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the GS I haven't spent a dime on that yet, they don't seem to charge more to check the valves. And so far it hasn't needed adjusting either.

I once replied to that in great extent, searching my invoices and everything, but now I forgot. For a basic oil + filter + diff oil + air filter or brake fluid I think it's about 200€. I've paid 150 but forgot what for. Not really sure anymore. I usually do other stuff, like plugs every 20.000, or mixing tire changes with the maintenance, I got lost. So far I think I've gotten good value with most things maintenance related on this bike. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And am I right in thinking that they don't have to split the later model in half to do the clutch now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 7 minutes ago, XTreme said: And am I right in thinking that they don't have to split the later model in half to do the clutch now? Yes. However: The older clutch replacement wasn't that hard to do, a good BMW mechanic did it easily with a few hours. It also didn't mess with seals on the engine, and you'd be able to fit a ceramic clutch that lasted for a HUGE time. Today's clutch goes for almost 300€, and involves a seal that shouldn't be problematic but then again, it is a seal. Also, since it's a wet clutch it is of more "positive" action but contaminated the oil if you burn it, the older ones didn't. I like the modern clutch better, from a feeling perspective, but appreciate the older style more from a quality and longevity point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoted €1300 here from a BMW dealer for a 1200 clutch replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
