TRANSMISSIONS

From an early /2 thru R1200 series and K Bikes we are able to update and repair your transmission.  We rebuild transmission, update internal components, and undercut gears in any BMW series transmissions.  We use only top quality bearings.  We also solve known problems by modifying or changing a bearing or transmission case thus creating a reliable transmission.  We offer a core exchange for some transmissions. Don't be fooled by a cheap rebuild.  

 

AIRHEAD TRANSMISSIONS

Jimmy - BMW R75/7

 

Rebuilt 1970 - 1995 series - New bearings, seals, new gasket, pawl springs, and shimmed.

K1200S/R/GT CLUTCH UPDATES 

The K1200S/R/GT (K40/43/44) built from 2003 and on have a wet multi-disk clutch system which is inherently problematic.  BMW recommends replacing this clutch every 30K.  We have seen many bikes with less than this mileage with failing clutches...WHAT TO DO?

This picture shows a badly worn BMW assembly (lower) requiring replacement - NO friction material left = Metal to metal wear destroying the assembly package.  The top one is OK although it is worn (22K on the clock) and needs a new Barnett disk package.

We recommend two things depending on the issue.  First, if the Lamellar Clutch package is not damaged then replace all the disks with a Barnett clutch disk package available from us at 1/4 of the price compared to BMW.  However, in some cases the clutch plate to the end plate has been worn down to metal as shown in the picture above.  In this case a new BMW Lamellar package is required, we then can remove the new disks and replace them with a Barnett carbon fiber disk package...expensive, but it solves the problem and avoids the issue coming back, thus in the long run saves you about $900 plus labor every time your clutch from BMW wears out prematurely. 

CALL US - WE CAN HELP PUT TOGETHER A CLUTCH PACKAGE FOR YOU

​

The Dreaded Spline Wear Syndrome

A number of R1100, K1200, but mostly R1150 series transmissions experience premature wear on the input splines that fit into the clutch friction plate.  This creates a really bad problem and will require the removal, and replacement of the input shaft and clutch plate.  We have done several of these.  Please call us if you are experiencing this problem to discuss repairs.  Replacing the entire clutch system does seem to eliminate the issue.  And PLEASE NOTE - If you are buying one of these bikes and want to keep it for a long time, consider biting the bullet, and having the splines properly greased rather than waiting for impending doom!!

Happy People

 

"I just put the rebuilt M94 in my R1100RT and rode for 200 miles...WOW.  It never shifted this well, and has smooth and positive engagement, and getting into 1st is now a breeze".  EXCELLENT WORK.  Peter C - Colorado

 

"Awesome transmission - really amazing the difference.  I have done 1500 miles and this just get's better". 

Nick - Queensland, Australia - R1100RT

 

"Just a note to thank you for a job well done.  My R100 has never ever ever shifted and been this solid.  Rebuilding the output shaft with the re-indexed 5th gear was key...you sold me forever!!".  John - R100

​

New Model Final Drives 

From 2005

We can repair these drives.  However, most of the time we recommend replacing the drives once failure has occurred. 

Please Read Carefully

On drives we repair - Warranty of 3000 miles only providing the bearing has not spun on the spline shaft, the flange has not broken or become damaged, or has come loose due to prior replacement. All warranty claims on this drive requires prior inspection before any action can or will be taken. 

Warranty cannot be claimed if the drive fails due to the above conditions during a warranty period.

If the conditions stated above happen then the drive must be replaced.

WHY??

Because the new model final drives are poorly designed and we cannot be held responsible! Failure to the drive spline (spun bearing) is about 60%. A new drive is $2100 plus installation.

​

Should the repair on your Hexhead final drive fail for the reasons stated above, we will offer a special price on the a new final drive.  This price is based on prior repair costs.  CALL FOR FULL DETAILS

We offer new Final Drive Units at our cost plus shipping for those customers who have had a drive repaired by us as part of the warranty.
