I have a 2010 k1300 GT(17,975 MIle) I bought it 5 months ago(April 2022)its very clean like brand new, and I parked the bike in the garage, I use the bike only 5 times till now and that fifth time it happened to me(clutch) but luckily the mechanic said you are very lucky because it's only a clutch hose liking oil. so I ordered a clutch hose from BMW for £135 and paid £150 to a mechanic for fixing it he told me to sell the bike because this type of bike has a clutch problem and many people complained. Anyone can advise me if should i sell it or keep it? I bought the bike for traveling in UK and euro and it works like a clock right now. I really like the bike but I'm scared if something like a clutch thing happens to me middle of nowhere.
you can replace the clutch pin with the new pins from BMW's 1600 series. the clutch is fine on the 1300 series, I have the 1300S. It was the older 1200 series that gave BMW this bad reputation. The 1300 pins had more oil channels added to it, and I think the 1600 had even more oil channels.

There is new bike come from Honda by name translap 750cc,release date in April 23,I’m going to buy that as a new for peace of mind in my travel. Check the bike in Honda website maybe you like it too.
Hi Wight, Where: - Bruntingthorpe - a little Leicestershire village, that just happens to have an old US airfoce base (strategic heavy bomber base code-named ‘Big Thunder’) with a 2 mile long runway to play on.When: You have to rent it off the owner for a half day...... arrange a paramedic etc..... a bit like a track day. The spyder club at Silverstone often do a trip there in September....
