K1300 Clutch Part 2

[@gentlemansbusa2985]

If you have a video showing the stack order or just impatiuclar the small metal ring that goes on the last plate (the thin one) wether the invert goes up or down XD. 18:30 I need to know if the slant starts at the friction plate and inverts towards the basket or if the invert is starting at the basket and ending up at the friction plate.

Keeping in mind forums can over represent an issue, there have been some issues that are not unique to one bike. Overall the engine itself has shown itself to be very good. From my vantage point most of what draws attention is the clutch. On the forums many found a vibration when going off throttle at 3 - 4000 rpm. One member found the bearing the clutch basket rides on was the source. It’s a pressed bearing (cheap), the replacement is machined. I noticed the vibration and changed the bearing and all is well. These bikes seem to have had gremlins all along. Some people have had trouble free experiences and others irritated by problems. Expectations, perceptions, how the bike is ridden, how maintained, contribute to the bike and the experience. But overall, BMW has left me with the impression they were not fully committed to this bike. It’s a business and if costs to them go up and the sales are not there to support those changes, well.....

A long time ago I had a K1300R that developed pretty horrific vibrations around 4-6krpm. It was glass smooth when new, but vibrations developed over the course of the first few thousand km. For the amount I paid for the bike, it was unacceptable, leading me to dump it at significant loss. Was the origin/fix ever found for it?

Same issue with my 2011 K1300s with 70,000miles. Still looking for an answer to the vibration. I've seen videos on clutch spring replacements, Timing chain replacements, oil chain replacements & yet nothing definitive as to why. I don't have a machine shop so I don't know if these modifications will work for me.
