I did a clutch service on my R65 (50 hp), taking everything apart not knowing about the heavy marks 🙄. Unfortunately not one of the parts had any marks. So it turned into a "BMW clutch lottery" 😉. Still happy that it worked! Thank you for these Videos. They are very well made👍🏼 Regards from Germany!
These videos are amazing! Im doing my first motorcycle project ever with a bmw r80/7 from 83, and these videos really helps me avoiding doing mistakes - so many little things that are not mentioned in eg clymers manual.. keep uploading! This content is not to be found anywhere else in such detail. Again thanks!
Hi Frederik, I am pleased these have been helpful to you. Not all the information you need is in the videos. There is a link to the detailed documentation about this work on my web site in the summary under each video. Be sure to click that and read through the procedure. And, I wish you success on your project. It's good to get another airhead back on the road. :-)
Hi Brook, got a weird one for you. Pulled the transmission out of my wifes '93 R100R to lube the splines. Once removed, I noticed the rear main was leaking, so I replaced that and the oil pump o-ring along with o-ring on the piece that fits into the flywheel. I installed and torqued the new bolts into the flywheel just fine, and as I was torquing the 6th of 6 new clutch assembly bolts and washers to 15 ft lbs, the thread on one of the welded nuts on the flywheel gave way. All the locating pins seemed to be inserted into their respective holes in the flywheel, and all clutch bolts threaded right in and torqued just fine (except the 6th). Any idea what might have caused this? Thanks very much for taking the time to produce these repair videos! Brian
Thank you, very detailed. Another person added heavy marks together. I assume you are correct as what you did makes more sense. Also, I've seen torque values between 15 (yours) to 23. Is there variation between Boxer models or is there a bit of leeway. Thanks again
Hi Frederik, Well because BMW redesigned the clutch and changed all the parts. The goal was to lighten the flywheel so the engine would rev faster which caused changes to all the clutch parts. Said differently, all manufacturers make subsystem changes and frequently that means older parts won't work.
A little different than a /6. Or maybe a lot different! My centering tool I can see won't work, I'll need a new tool. When I was riding with my posse we had a Machinist in the group. very handy for tools and jigs and dual plug holes!!

Sounds like someone over torqued that bolt in the past.
Thanks, that could be the culprit

SuperNova, The clutch design changed from 1970 - 1995. So the clutch bolt torque values change a bit.
@@BrooksAirheadGarage okay thanks. Will double check mine when I do it. 1990 R100RT
Hi Brooks! Again thanks for the vid! I have a clutch plate for pre-1980, why cant i use it for post-1980? I have a bmw r80/7 from 83

Brook's Airhead Garage thanks for the reply! That really makes sense.. just annoyed that i can use the spare clutch plate i have :D
Well done indeed!
Hi Peter, Thank you.
Excelente...saludotes
Martin, Gracias. De nada
