I hope they are paying you because you have ads at the beginning.
This is an excellent video. Couldn’t be any better. Thank you mate!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate you watching and especially taking the time to comment. Glad you liked the video. Stay safe and have fun. Cheers Paul (Nuffy)
Hey, my Second jumps out of gear. If I take the tranny off, what would I be looking for as the main culprit And how would I fix it?
I just got one of these and actually like the naked look.. However I wanted to cover the coolant bottle. Here I am thinking just buying the er6n fairing and fitting it up... You just showed me it takes time. As fun as it would be. I don't think I wanna miss ride time. Gr8 vid tho!!
Also.. Can we get a vid of the finished product please
Hi Micah Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and send a message. I have since, sold that bike, but I may have some footage of it that I can add to an upcoming series of videos I am doing a motard Suzuki DR400 soon which I just bought yesterday. Stay tuned and please send me some photos of your bike that I can add to my upcoming video and give you a shout out.
Great job man you kept me interested lol that’s for sure I just bought a used one and it’s given me a bit of a rattle I’m thing I’d start off doing clutch and clutch plates and springs hopefully that should handle it it’s usually around idle or neutral and first
More than likely it’s just space between the clutch compression springs. Very common, annoying but not a major issue. Thanks for watching mate, and appreciate you taking the time to comment
Can you please share where you can buy the clutch plates 🙏🏼
@saudalshehri7988 sorry, I’m not sure where to buy them. Can I suggest you try asking on one of the K1200s forum pages to start. Thanks for watching.
Hey have one
Hello I have watched several videos on the clutch replacementand at a lose on how the six allan key bolts that hold the pressue spring in place can be torqued , if they are set fully home and torqued to 8nm the this has basically engaged the clutch it has compressed the spring down the same way the slave cylinder does , the spring must be able to move in and out as the slave cylinder pushes against it , tightening these bolts all the way home does not allow it to operate , there must be either an physical measurement between the basket and the spring plate or some other way to determine corect spring pressure . As I can not get the bolts to 8 nm against the spring pressure alone , Any insights would be helpful , many thnks
Hi Justin I think it may possibly be either: The first clutch plate you put on MUST be the one that has a larger centre diameter so it does not cover the small spring washer. The other thing may be that the total thickness of the clutch plates exceeds the recommended maximum tolerance. I really hope it is as simple as one of those two things. Please let me know how you get on and I will keep thinking about your question and let you know if I think of something else. Cheers Paul ( Nuffy)
What I am talking about is most clearly explained at 1:10.15 in the video.
Sorry i start explaining it at 40:53 😀
What was the cost for the second hand parts.... parts in total? Thanks
Sorry, I just saw your comment. During Covid I paid around $800 for the second hand gearbox and clutch including freight. It was from a low mileage bike. Hope this helps.
@ Nuffy's Builds - Unm so where did you send the gearbox and what work did you ask done? Couldn't you of just gotten away with replacing the worn out fork with a new one or a used one in good condition? Awesome video by the way, I got my hands on a 2006 with 35K miles on it.
Hi Manuel It was very expensive and difficult at the time to get my hands on parts. Also, the 1300 gearbox has been modified slightly as the earlier model is known to jump out of gear down low once there is a certain amount of ware. I managed to get the 1300 gearbox locally in Australia along with a few other parts from a wreckers in less than a week so went with that option. I still have the old gearbox sitting in my shed and offered it up for free on an Australian Facebook page for anyone who wanted it for parts or to replace the shift fork themselves. I sent some parts from the clutch basket to a guy in the UK as he was struggling to get his hands on the parts. I sold the BMW and I am now on a 2021 Ducati Multistrada 950s which I may start doing a few travel videos on. I am back working on the XJ650 project after having put it on hold for a very long time due to some other more pressing tasks. Stay safe my friend and thank you for the kind words and especially for taking the time to reach out with your message. Hard to believe how many people have watched that video and the number of positive comments received. Cheers Paul (Nuffy)
Why not show the actual clutch install?
Massive oversight my friend!!!! Sorry about that. You are the first to mention it. I have no idea why I didn’t show that part except perhaps I was just too excited about getting it on the road and riding. Sorry mate, not intentional.
The two anti judder washers that went in first. Any idea when I can get hold of them. My 1200r sport doesn’t have them as standard. I’ve fitted Barnett plates and the first plate is cut down so they can be fitted. The judder on pulling away is a real downer !
Hi, not sure where to get these but I may still have them from my original clutch pack. Where in the world are you?
@@nuffysbuilds3750 In the U.K. but happy to pay postage as they are rare. Guessing you’re in Australia or nearby.
@@robplazzman6049 Hi Rob, I will have a look this week and see what I can find mate.
@@robplazzman6049 yes, Australia
@@nuffysbuilds3750 👍🏻
Didn't go through all the comments.. but always check right off.. that the oil drain plug comes off with the washer .. if not get it off bottom ,, replace new
How did the basket come out so easily?😂 mine won’t give more than an inch
Have you locked the starter gear?
Oil pump chain?
@@nuffysbuilds3750 I was able to get it to cooperate eventually, thank you!
Done this job myself at least 4 times. Nice how you did take the effort to documentate it. I wonder how you did solve to get the drive shaft back in the gearbox. 1st Time I realy did struggle to get the end part it liftet in the driveshaft-tunnel. Also, I do not know if you mentioned, the bolds of right site engine cover are 1-time use only. And be aware to check the lenght of those, they are not all the same! The one 'above' chain guide is shorter for sure! Then there is also a special order to tight up this bolts. And last tip for vieuwers, make sure no wires are traped when placing back the gearbox. I ruind wires of my ABS sensor at 1 time. It is hard to see, so dubbel check before boulting it tight.
Very good points Edwin. Thanks for watching, and particularly for taking the time to point out these important aspects. I have pinned your comments so they will show at the top of the comments section for others to see more easily. Stay safe, have fun and thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.
Nice build mate...just watched your all videos..hope you are doing well.. all the best for future builds ...
Hey Cobra, thanks for watching and a huge thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it. I’ve just started back working on the cafe racer after spending 8 months tracking some parts and doing two other builds…. Stay tuned this might be my last build on TH-cam but hopefully the most interesting final product. Cheers Nuffy ( Paul )
@@nuffysbuilds3750 yh mate.. all the best for the build... appreciate your work man.. and thanks for entertaining us mate🖤
Thank you so much for your time and effort!
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment I really appreciate it. Ride safe, have fun mate.👍
You are a God amongst men. Thank you for this video! 🎉
Hey Drone Pilot, glad you liked the video. Thank you for taking the time to watch and especially for taking the time to comment. Ride often and be safe out there. Cheers Nuffy
Good news Nuff. The mould in the air conditioner will kill you before the bike has a chance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the comment mate. That little air conditioning unit is about 20 years old and I literally clean it outside with a hose once a year due to the dust from the shop…. I can’t kill it. Thanks for watching, and a big thank you for taking the time to comment. Cheers Nuffy
Such a sick build mate!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback… especially from someone who has some seriously good content!!!!! Cheers brother 👍🏻
@@nuffysbuilds3750 👊🍻🤘
I have a K1200R and my clutch does not have those two washers in it as seen @3:45 in the video, are those only to K1200S models only? I'm a bit lost as my clutch has started to slip last week and I've ordered new clutch plates and left the bike alone until the clutch plates arrive.
Hi, I don’t have the answer sorry. I would suggest that you try measuring the new clutch plates when they are stacked together and also measure the old clutch plates when they are stacked together first. Try and find out what they should measure before you change them. A common issue can be the hydraulic slave cylinder. The oil gets dirty and they do need to be cleaned out and hydraulic fluid changed….. Do not use brake fluid. I believe the two washers / spring washer I mentioned in mine were a change that was made to help with the issue of the clutch plates sticking together which I think was mainly due to the poor oil flow through the clutch plates. Take your time, take lots of photos as you go and please let me know how you get on. All the best mate. Cheers Nuffy
That washer is a modification to un-stuck the 1st plate. This supose to cancel the hard clunk when shifting from neutral to 1st gear. Mine hase it, does now work, lol.
@@edwinderegt6715 Hi Edwin, yes you are correct…🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Next time you are riding, try lifting the gear lever slightly before you pull the clutch and shift gear. I think you will notice a smoother gear change. 👍👍
👏👏🍀🍀🧿🧿🔧😊👍💜☂️
there are a lot of video's os what breaks with these bikes.. omg.
How did you get these 4 driveshaft bolts loose? They are giving me a hard time 😅
Ratchet spanned and a steel tube for additional leverage…. They were tough. Sorry for the late reply Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.
@@nuffysbuilds3750 Hey, no problem. Managed to get them loose by locking de rearwheel with a piece of wood :p
Hello genius Paul,I’m ready to buy a K1200s ,can you give me som advice? For example, what parts need to be looked at carefully, which year is the best, and the number of kilometers,what parts are more likely to break, I look forward to hearing from you!
Soy for the late reply, and thanks for your comment. I’ve only owned this one and not sure I would be rushing out to buy another one unless it was new. I’m currently looking at a lot of bikes on the second hand market and I’m leaning towards the Yamaha MT10 or something from Kawasaki. BMW parts are expensive and often more difficult to get hold of - for me at least… The BMW engines seem to do really well for longevity with quite a few of the K1200’s exceeding 500,000 klm. Happy Hunting, all the best. Thanks again for watching and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Hello, I'm having an issue with my k13s from 3rd to 4th gear. I'm not capable of the transmission repair as you are. Do you accept work or do you know any company who would rebuild my transmission for me. Located in Ohio, US
Hi there, I’m in Australia so unfortunately I’m not able to help. I suggest you try looking for a K1300s Facebook group and see if there is someone local that can help. Alternatively, you will need to find a local bike mechanic. I hope you get it sorted mate. All the best. Nuffy
@@nuffysbuilds3750 I think I found a shop in North Carolina, which is much closer. Thank you for your quick response and your awesome video!
@@gamerski2134 let me know how you get on and send a photo of you and your bike when you get back riding. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your positive comment. Stay safe friend Cheers Nuffy
The real problem is that a lot of parts can are not available, you can buy only compleet set of gears from BMW. R&D motorsport Clearewater did weld the dogs and theath of my gearbox and machined them after. After 3 gearboxes, this was the fix! With sending costs from europe, it was close to the costs of a new gearbox. But now I have modifyd parts, runs better than OEM. Like I sayd, 3rd time it broke down on me in OEM spec. It hase never run as good as now.
Great video! Thank you to share it with us! Only a question: why you have not repaired the original gearbox ? Maybe the used K1300 gearbox was less expensive of brand new spare parts ? Best regards from Italy! 😊
Hello, Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. Part of the reason was due to the cost and also at the time during Covid, it was difficult and slow to get the new parts. Also, the 1300s gearbox has squarer dogs. These are the parts between the gears that help change between gears. This was a significant improvement from the 1200s gearbox as one of the issues with the 1200s gearbox is it sometimes would jump out of gear as these parts wore. Have fun, be safe and a big hello from Australia. 👍
Used K1300 have same problems. I had a brand new one... Also they hard to find.
I'm in the market for a K1300 and came across your channel. I really like your 'have a go' attitude. I'll be applying the same ethic to my bike. So if it all goes tits up, it's your fault! 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yip, blame me mate, I have big shoulders. All the best, keep me posted and make sure you send me some before and after pictures so I can show some photos on my channel. The fact that you are willing to try, tells me you will succeed. Cheers Nuffy Email: nuffysbuilds@gmail.com
@@nuffysbuilds3750 Will do. I’ve got to put a new clutch in my Speed Triple first, then find a K1300. I’m in France - nothing is simple here and everything costs an arm and a leg!
I want to buy a 2005 k 1200 s but afraid of those chronics. Would you please advise anything ?
Hi Mehmet, sorry for not replying sooner. In my opinion, the biggest issues with these bikes are the electronics. Electrical or computer issues can be difficult to diagnose on older bikes, and expensive. Mechanically they are excellent. Most problems can be fixed at a reasonable cost with some general tools and basic mechanical skills. In most cases, you can buy a very capable bike for not too much money. It is the problem that many of us face, we don’t want to spend a large amount of money buying a new trouble free bike, so we have to compromise and get the best value for our money……. I think the K1200 is a great place to start looking. All the best my friend, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
@@nuffysbuilds3750 thank you so much for your reply. I guess I will get a 2008 model K 1200 S which might be better ?
Nice bike mate
Cheers Carlos, hope you are getting out for a ride this weekend mate.
how much burnt rubber mate? all of it lol!
What is the tool you used to brace the engine with at 9:55? You called it the big Bertha tool later on in the video.
Hi Simon, it was during Covid so I made a clutch holding tool out of 4mm plate steel. You can buy them online. If you have a welder and a bit of flat plate and 10mm x 10mm bar stock you can make it…. But a clutch holding tool is what you are after. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need some photos of the tool and I will email them to you mate. All the best Cheers Nuffy
@@nuffysbuilds3750 Thanx very much for that. I'll most likely buy one online as I've never tried welding and don't own a welder. My nephew may well do. If he has we could give it a go.
I'm stuck I'm on a 2010 k1300s which is essentially the same clutch. I just replaced the plates and put the pack back in and now it seems like my pushrod and throw out bearing aren't sinking in enough the slave cylinder hits em at about 80% inserted.. XD help?
Did the first fibre plate you put on have a slightly larger internal diameter so it sits outside of the very thin conical washer?
The central piece on slave cilinder needs to flat, not round. Did you check? It can invert.
@edwinderegt6715 I was very careful to put back together the same as when I took it apart and checking with the manual. It was much better to ride after the repairs. I sold this bike last October and I have been building a couple of new projects. Soon I will buy a KTM 1290s for adventure riding. 👍🏻
Hi, The 6 bolts that hold the thrust plate in at 19 mins, are they tightened all the way, or do you just thread them in enough that the force from the plate holds them in place along with the thread lock? I have recently done the same rebuild on my bike and I have tightened them to the max so it's bending the thrust plate inwards slightly, but now my bike can't select neutral. I think I have overdone it and not given the plates enough room to move apart. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Thomas, My understanding is they go all the way in as you have done. My immediate thought is that your clutch pack is thicker than the recommended maximum. See if you can find the recommended thickness of the fibre plates and metal plates. The next thing I am thinking, is if you have the angled washer at the back that reduces the friction (thin conical washer) Have you rotated the last fibre plate one step Have you checked your clutch oil level to make sure you are getting full pressure I will watch the video again myself and see if I can think of anything else. Happy to help you work through this. Keep me posted on how you go. Where are you in the world? I’m in Australia. Cheers Nuffy (Paul)
One of the fibre clutch plates has a slightly larger inner diameter. This needs to be the first plate that goes on, it should allow the thin conical spring washer to sit inside. If you don’t have this correct then the first fibre plate will be sitting on top of the washer
Try tightening the bolts to 8nm, it should hold the large conical washer firmly but should not deform it.
Maaan, blasting really is the way to do it.
Bravo grazie mi hai aiutato molto 💪💪💪👏👏👏
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. grazie per la visione e il tempo dedicato a commentare. Lo apprezzo molto. stai al sicuro, divertiti. Regards Nuffy ( Paul )
Hi. Very good job. What year is your K1200S? And from what year you got the K1300s parts from?
Hi Kiryani, thanks for watching and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. My K1200s is a 2007, the 1300 gearbox came out of a 2009 K1300s. You MUST keep the original gearbox, because you will need the gear indicator piece off the original gearbox so the electrical plug is compatible. Very straight forward job to change. The 1300 gearbox is definitely a bit clunky compared to the 1200 because it is designed to have the quick shift setup. You just need to change gears quicker and it is best to preload the gear selector and just tap the clutch. Very smooth gear changes once you get used to the slight difference. All the best, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all. Thanks again Nuffy (Paul)
@@nuffysbuilds3750 Thank you for your quick answer and the details. I wasn't able to find a k1300s gearbox so I got one from a k1200s with 20,000 miles on it. Hopefully it will last a little bit until I find a better replacement. Great videos!
@@kriyani I think you will find the 1200s gearbox smoother and more enjoyable. Perhaps check the shift forks for ware before you put it into the bike. It should only take 10 mins to do the check, at such low mileage, I expect it will be great. All the best, stay safe, have fun and thanks again for checking out my channel it really is appreciated.
@@nuffysbuilds3750 thanks for the advice! The best for you as well. Keep up the good work!
@@nuffysbuilds3750 quick question. what is the size of the socket you need to remove the clutch hub? Can't find it in the repair manual.
W❤️W! Cheers for more awesome and exciting rides!🥂❤️✨

Thanks for watching, and I appreciate you leaving a comment.
oil cover came out nice
Cheers brother 👍
Great tip using the electrical tape. I always have used masking tape and it always becomes unreadable
Hey Freddy, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.I will be watching your video on the electrical a few more times very soon. I hope you and your family are safe and well and I trust you are finding time to work on your own projects mate. All the very best my friend 😎🏍👍
looks like they built the bike around the air box
You’re not wrong mate… out with the wood saw 😂😂 thanks for the comment, hope you are safe and well dude.
I Love your Seca 650...I put 45K plus on one of these. When I sold it, it was still like brand new. Huge head lamp, shaft drive great bike. Working on mi K1200s...you guessed it clutch problems. Great content, love yer stuff Nuff!
Hi David, thanks so much for watching and I really appreciate your comments mate. All the best with repairing your K1200S… I also changed the cam chain tensioner to a manual one…. Very easy and well worth it too. Have fun, be safe and thanks again for watching and commenting !!
@@nuffysbuilds3750 mech chain tensioner? Please...tell me more. Thank you.
I might do a short video to explain more clearly. Very easy job to do, and it eliminates the typical rattling noise you get with cold startups. It cost me about $70 Australian for the part and takes less than 1 hour to do. Half the time is spent removing and reinstalling the fairing on the right side. I think it is well worth it.
@@nuffysbuilds3750 There is SOooo much information about this clutch issue on K1200s/K1300s'. It is somewhat difficult to decipher it all. I just need to use the KISS method of sorting it all out down to the basics of what I need todo. I've had that notorious rattle since the Bike was new but just @ idle. BMW, just couldn't/wouldn't hear it...however, clutch lasted 60K. Thank you Nuffy
Woha what a job, really cool video! I have a 2006 K1200R that thankfully at this stage (13k miles) shifts and rides perfectly. I hope for many more troublefree miles before i have to get into a project like this haha.
Thanks for watching. Stay safe and enjoy the K1200R. 🏍👍🏻
Easy peasy 😬😬😬 glad u we’re doing it lol. If i did that i would have a bucket of leftover parts for the scrap pile lol 😆 thanks for sharing brother. ARCO
😂😂yeah, I have the same concerns about having parts left over too…. After a few hundred kilometres of riding my anxiety decreases….. 😂👍
Hey brother i met u on the live lastnight. Your channel is great! Really enjoyed all the fabrication skills. Thanks for sharing. ARCO
Thanks, I have been enjoying a few of your videos also. I really enjoyed the small infill panel video you made using the shaping tools. You make it easy dude. Keep up the great videos, and thank you for subscribing. I look forward to binging more of your videos this week while I am travelling for work. 🏍👍🇦🇺
i like the water spray cleaner. works great. thank you for the shout out!
Excited to see where the build goes!
Looks like you have been busy. Love that machine. No worries on the pause - makes it more exciting when something new appears!!
Thanks mate, yeah it has been a while.... I forgot to mention that I needed to buy a new computer as well. Hope all is well, looking forward to the red rocket (VFR) video series you have recently started.
@@nuffysbuilds3750 Thanks, hopefully that won't stall out. I really want to ride that one
Where did you get the manual? I found a bunch of scetchy web sites when trying to find it. Great video by the way. I just bought a 2005 and love it! Just trying to fully educate myself on the ins and out. From tire pressure to rocker clearances
Hi Mac Sorry for the late reply. I ordered an online version. It was not the most user friendly manual, but it did allow me to zoom in on things. I will have a look on my laptop and get back to you on which version it was if I am able to. All the best with your bike mate. Stay safe, have fun. Thanks for watching my videos and commenting, I really appreciate it. Hopefully I will be getting back onto my own projects this week and will get back to uploading more content. Cheers Nuffy
