I am very impressed, I was worried about my motorcycle when I heard the same noise, it makes sense and it seems so easy thank you very much my friend I really appreciate it you saved me a lot of money
Thank You for Posting this. It Very good Information. This isn’t the Noise I’m hearing in my 2006 R1200GS. But at least I know what that Noise is if I hear it. New Subscriber from Texas. I look forward to your other Videos. Thanks again for Posting this. If all of us GS Owners can Post things other Riders need to know, we will all be better off.👍❤️
Thanks for your help seeing what this noise is. I have driveshaft spline noise on front section from failed sleeve/boot. And also the textile/rod noise.
82k miles. Confirmed. Clutch rod $75 worn back 4mm and textile $11 is leather-like. Primary noise/concern wasn't driveline splines or U-joints. It was the gearbox oil past due.
Hola, mi nombre es christian, soy de argentina, y viendo tu video, entendi por donde viene el sonido del clutch. Muchas gracias, ya estaba volviendome loco el sonido del taca taca clutch. Abrazo grande desde argentina. Mi moto es una bmw gs 1200 adventure año 2009.
thank you , iv got the noise , it comes and goes , and I dont feel the vibration at all the bike rides fine , but it gets more pronounced , and it does sound like its spinning and sometimes it sound like something is also spinning and gets caught and then spit out I thought maybe its the clutch disk maybe breaking up , which isn't making sense to me , but a piece of textile on that narrow shaft and when you shook it around I can hear sound like sormthing hitting a sheetmetal piece something like what that shaft was more of a rattling rather then the thud of a piston or timing chain , thank you , as soon as I head that noise you made with that worn shaft , it was the same rattle almost like a snare drum sincerely David G Schoenoff.

If I want to replace my clutch rod, would these be the right steps? 1) Remove rear wheel, 2) remove shock absorber, 3) remove clutch rod housing, 4) pull the clutch rod out, 5) insert new clutch rod with new textile, 6) reassemble everything. I have a 2005 R1200GS. I have replaced the pushrods (all were out of spec), both cam chain tensioners (springs were soft), and adjusted the valve lash. The only noise I still hear is the transmission as you described in this video.
Good morning, Thank you for this video and these details. Having the same noise on my 2004 R1200 GS, can we disassemble this part without disassembling the clutch because I tried by removing the receiver but the part does not come ... THANKS. Steven.
Great Information!! I had a same noise problem in 2014 r1200gs Liquid Cooled 67,000km. Is the same reason on this of clutch rod textile material ? I had changed the clutch plate and pressure plate yesterday, but this noise is still alive.
The little felt or "textile material" actually serves another purpose: on the 1150s but also the 1200s where the clutch slave can go bad when you don't put your bike in neutral (e.g. at traffic lights), the bearing will be bad over time. Then brake fluid MIGHT leak towards the clutch and not only destroy the clutch surface but also eat away the grease of the splines. Eventually, you will end up with stripped-out splines (when all the grease is gone). The felt is to somewhat stop the brake fluid (I know: for the 1200s it's hydraulic fluid)
Great video very professional. Can i ask you a question? I have a 2007 bmw r1200gsa 40,000miles on bike, i changed engine oil and i found small brass looking particles in old engine oil, would you know which component could be wearing in engine , thank you
It can be a lot of things, I would suggest to use a magnetic drain screw at the oil bath. in this way the small metal particles will not travel trough you engine. But nevertheless there is an oil filter as well who suppose to do the job
would my R1200c have a similar noise. I'm hearing a 'new' buzz, vibration, that I've never heard before and can not locate it. It's not bad but different. I've owned this bike for 19 years and no her 'normal' sounds. And thanks for posting the video.
I've done a clutch change at a r1200c years ago. I general is the same principle. The problem at that motorcycle it was the clutch actuator cylinder. They (BMW) use to recomand Dot4 as a clutch fluid but in time it looks that dot4 is damaging the cylinder and the clutch fluid it goes on clutch plate and disk. At the upcoming models BMW used mineral oil.
Hello! I have a 2004 BMW R1200GS motorcycle, and I have an issue with the clutch. Specifically, on warmer days when I ride in the city and beyond, as the engine heats up more, I can no longer shift the gearbox into neutral. It's as if it doesn't find neutral anymore and feels like something is snagging. Also, during that time, when I fully pull the clutch lever, I feel like the clutch doesn't disengage completely, and the motorcycle tends to pick up speed. Could you give me an idea of what might be defective or what I should do?

Quality of materials BMW is made of is poor - for example steel - compare to Honda - this cluch Push rod in honda is made from Hi-carbon steel and it never wore....... not like in this bike...... This is real change between BMW and Japan bike - quality of steeel and hiprecision of part ( CLUE : bmw is crap)

My bike same sound now I found sound thanks for the info.
Glad to help
I am in great urgency to know exactly what I need to do to be able to remove the clutch rod because it is stuck?? Hope to hear back soon!
Changed the rod & the textile bearing with new oem parts. Easy fix, just took out the rear suspension. Noise is still the same, unfortunately...
I was looking for this, thank you for sharing 🏍
Thank you, :) I follow your advice and a took a moment to reply at comments
Yup
That’s the noise!

Hi is the Haynes manual but I think you can get it online in a pdf format
Rattling noise is coming from the damper of gearbox input shaft
How do you fix it?

Hello friend, I am writing to you from Chile. Ask: can I only remove the bmw1200gs clutch push rod or does it affect the disc? it's just to check your status
Puedes, sin ningún problema. Es muy sencillo, desmontando amortiguador y el piston actuador del embrague. No afecta al disco.
i have a 2006 R1200S, with a similar rattling noise.
can i assume these engine are the same?
Yep
