Hey guys,
just removed the transmission and clutch assembly on my 90/k75s. I swear, some people should never be allowed use tools. Whomever did the last clutch job on this bike is a moron, all 6 of the 6mm hex/allen bolts
were striped at the heads from over torquing, Moly 60 was slapped on so thickly on the output shaft splines that it has contaminated the friction/clutch plate. Where I live a friction plate goes for about $150.00
so I would like to save it if I can. Is it salvageable? It's thickness just over 5mm which is well within spec. and I haven't noticed any problems shifting with the clutch except the loud "clunks" during shifting that I thought were a BMW thing.
Thanks,
Chris
