pbbeck Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 On its centerstand, when my R12RT idles in neutral, the rear wheel rotates. Rotation stops if I engage the clutch and resumes when I disengage it. Is this normal, or does this indicate that something is out of adjustment? Link to comment
Lawman Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Normal I assume...Mine does it too.. Link to comment
GelStra Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 FWIW, my GS does it too. Link to comment
FIRST_BEEMER Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Yes it`s normal. The drive train will rotate with the wheel unloaded. Free spin would be the easiest way to describe it. Link to comment
Steve1962 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Mine does this as well, the correct way to remedy this terrible fault ............... IS TO TAKE IT OFF THE CENTRE STAND .......... AND RIDE IT !! Steve Link to comment

Yes and mine, it's probably just the oil drag through the transmission. Check it when you've been for a good ride and the wheel probably won't rotate so easily. Link to comment
Kiku Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 My 05, May produciton does it as well. Just an FYI, every BMW bikes I had owned in the last 5 years did the same. (03 K1200RS, 04 R1150RT, and 04 K1200GT) Link to comment
