matanuska Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I just posted some initial inspection results of my spline failure in the K bike section. Might be somewhat applicable to the R bike problem as well. http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/683824/an/0/page/0#Post683824 More to follow… Derek Link to comment
matanuska Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Last night, I found what appears to be angular misalignment between the engine bell housing and transmission housing. Full details and pictures in the other thread. DR Link to comment
matanuska Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Just posted some quantitative results of measured shaft misalignment in the other thread. http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/691312/Main/683824#Post691312 Link to comment
DEF Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I believe your spline failure indicates that 0.011" IS too much off center misalignment, hence the early failure. If it were my design, I would spec = or less than 0.003". Link to comment
