Well, I've gone and stripped the splines on the k100 today. I've not had a chance to see the damage yet, so I guess there's a chance of it being the clutch plate side rather than the gearbox input shaft, but I'm not feeling lucky. So, anyone know the going rate for having a new input shafted fitted? I'm happy to strip the gearbox out and drop it off at a garage, but I don't think I have the skill/tools to replace the shaft myself.

Cheers

Matt

i think moto bins has a repair service for gearboxes

The clutch splines will strip long before the shaft so you may still be financial.
Pull the box out and have a look but dont be supprised if the shaft is a bit ordinary as dry splines will wear the shaft.
You may be lucky.

Hi Matt,

MotoBins send all their boxes to Steve Scriminger at SED in Sleaford. He is a top man for all BMW work and also prepares race bikes. www.scriminger.co.uk

I had my R1150RT input shaft fail (took out the clutch centre and input bearing at the same time). I removed the box and he did the rebuild. He normally carries the bearings and seals but I supplied the shaft. He is normally very busy, so you will need to call him to check on the latest prices and turn round time.

Mike

Thanks for replies everyone

Matt
