Easy peasy 😬😬😬 glad u we’re doing it lol. If i did that i would have a bucket of leftover parts for the scrap pile lol 😆 thanks for sharing brother. ARCO

😂😂yeah, I have the same concerns about having parts left over too…. After a few hundred kilometres of riding my anxiety decreases….. 😂👍

[@Surpriseify]

Woha what a job, really cool video! I have a 2006 K1200R that thankfully at this stage (13k miles) shifts and rides perfectly. I hope for many more troublefree miles before i have to get into a project like this haha.

Thanks for watching. Stay safe and enjoy the K1200R. 🏍👍🏻

[@enioamaro2783]

Thank you for sharing! Anxious by the 3rd part.

Holidays for a few weeks Enio, so I will try and get the next video up very soon. I also have another video almost ready to upload, I changed to a manual cam chain tensioner…. It made an amazing difference. Merry Christmas to you and your family mate. Stay safe. 🇦🇺👍🏻🏍

[@miguelvite6029]

hi, great video!! One question, didn't you use the crankshaft locking tool? What happens if we don't have that tool and we do the clutch change? Thanks

[@nuffysbuilds3750]

Hi Miguel I put the bike into gear while working on the clutch. If you have the crankshaft tool, then that is good but I was just extra careful to make sure the engine didn’t turn over. I also had the Allen key tool stopping the starter gear from moving which is also stopped any movement. Disconnect the battery as extra security. Hope this helps, thanks for watching and I appreciate your comments

[@MotoMango]

I should do this on my bike 😳

Part 3 is uploading as I type this. Unfortunately I lost the very last part of my footage…. Thanks for the sub mate. 🏍🇦🇺👍🏻

What was the cost for the second hand parts.... parts in total? Thanks

[@nuffysbuilds3750]

Sorry, I just saw your comment. During Covid I paid around $800 for the second hand gearbox and clutch including freight. It was from a low mileage bike. Hope this helps.

Hello, I'm having an issue with my k13s from 3rd to 4th gear. I'm not capable of the transmission repair as you are. Do you accept work or do you know any company who would rebuild my transmission for me. Located in Ohio, US

[@nuffysbuilds3750]

Hi there, I’m in Australia so unfortunately I’m not able to help. I suggest you try looking for a K1300s Facebook group and see if there is someone local that can help. Alternatively, you will need to find a local bike mechanic. I hope you get it sorted mate. All the best. Nuffy

@@nuffysbuilds3750 I think I found a shop in North Carolina, which is much closer. Thank you for your quick response and your awesome video!

@@gamerski2134 let me know how you get on and send a photo of you and your bike when you get back riding. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your positive comment. Stay safe friend Cheers Nuffy

The real problem is that a lot of parts can are not available, you can buy only compleet set of gears from BMW. R&D motorsport Clearewater did weld the dogs and theath of my gearbox and machined them after. After 3 gearboxes, this was the fix! With sending costs from europe, it was close to the costs of a new gearbox. But now I have modifyd parts, runs better than OEM. Like I sayd, 3rd time it broke down on me in OEM spec. It hase never run as good as now.

OLÁ , EU SOU O LUCAS!

[@nuffysbuilds3750]

Hi Lucas, where in the world are you?

[@manuelmontiel5418]

@ Nuffy's Builds - Unm so where did you send the gearbox and what work did you ask done? Couldn't you of just gotten away with replacing the worn out fork with a new one or a used one in good condition? Awesome video by the way, I got my hands on a 2006 with 35K miles on it.

[@nuffysbuilds3750]

Hi Manuel It was very expensive and difficult at the time to get my hands on parts. Also, the 1300 gearbox has been modified slightly as the earlier model is known to jump out of gear down low once there is a certain amount of ware. I managed to get the 1300 gearbox locally in Australia along with a few other parts from a wreckers in less than a week so went with that option. I still have the old gearbox sitting in my shed and offered it up for free on an Australian Facebook page for anyone who wanted it for parts or to replace the shift fork themselves. I sent some parts from the clutch basket to a guy in the UK as he was struggling to get his hands on the parts. I sold the BMW and I am now on a 2021 Ducati Multistrada 950s which I may start doing a few travel videos on. I am back working on the XJ650 project after having put it on hold for a very long time due to some other more pressing tasks. Stay safe my friend and thank you for the kind words and especially for taking the time to reach out with your message. Hard to believe how many people have watched that video and the number of positive comments received. Cheers Paul (Nuffy)
