General request for ideas.... RE: 1988 BMW K100, 25k miles. Purchased this project bike, never owned a K100 before. Was told a rear main seal leak had caused the clutch to go. It ran and made no noise. I find the disk has been ripped in two. Female splines sheared off the clutch disk center section. Trans input shaft splines appear good/clean/crisp, trans seams fine and runs through the gears, when the shaft is spun. Engine runs smooth. The bike appears to have been left outside alot. Bugs, wasp nests.. Will need to repair wiring. What else should I look for before I re-assemble it? (with new disk) Was this a case of a bad disk or bad rider goofing off? I,ve heard of tranny problems, could this be a case of that? Never seen a sheared disk before on a bike! I think I've checked all the bases, looking for any ideas, similar experiences.
Thanks in advance!!
