Airhead - Sloppy Shift Lever - fix it!

Just showing one of those jobs.
A job that isn't hard but gets overlooked and a lot of airheads are running around with worn out bearings on the shifter.
I bought all parts required at
www.MAXBMW.com
They still offer free shipping on orders over $99.

On the selector connecteur to avoid entering of water and dirt you have 2 small rubber cushions to close the openings that you have not 😅 this will help to hold the grease in side the caps

[@johnutting9615]

Could use an o ring both sides to contain grease and keep water out.

@@johnutting9615 yes will work maybe not as good as original parts but will do the job

[@stevehedman6271]

what is part number for bearing and bolt? What parts group does it come under at Max BMW? Thanks.

[@HeikosGarage]

23 13 1 238 422 this is the part # from MaxBMW.

[@johnutting9615]

And why not use a socket or ring spanner on the nut ?

[@HeikosGarage]

Sure, whatever works for you. The pliers I am using are actually an adjustable wrench and work great to hold onto a nut.

I see you are working on my ex-wife's R65 again!

[@HeikosGarage]

Let's say still. It has been in my garage for a while. Getting close to getting it of the lift. It runs great just has some age related flaws, cracking rubber pieces, leaking forks old tires etc .. i also gave the heated grip wiring a once over. No other major issues.

. @@HeikosGarage Cool! The heated grips work great. I really liked the switch position I put in.
