Jim Moore Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi Folks, A guy on the Pelican Parts R1100S board just made a quick video of checking the spline through the starter hole. His is bad unfortunately, but you can get a good idea of what to look for. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/bmw-r1100s-r1200s-tech-forum/858659-worn-splines-through-starter-hole-w-video.html Link to comment
Stan Walker Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ungood splines for sure.... It would be interesting to have a picture of them when the bike gets torn down. My '02 had maybe 1/4 of that when I last checked (around 110,000 miles on bike at the time). Hard to be positive when trying to compare a video to a memory (at my age...). But do notice that it's not an '02,,,,,, It's not even an RT,,,,,, I'm not sure what box should get ticked in dirtrider's poll, if any. Stan Link to comment
PAS Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 How about a video of factory fresh splines! We do need something to compare to. Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 How about a video of factory fresh splines! We do need something to compare to. When it's "factory fresh", there is zero slop in the assembly. I checked it when I rebuilt the transmission in my RT. It had a new transmission input shaft and a new clutch disk. If you can rotate the clutch disk on the shaft AT ALL, then you have a problem and it's just a matter of time before it strips. Link to comment
