For hydraulic clutches I am not finding any adjustment information in
manual… Is there an adjustment for hydraulic models? 2004 R1150RT

Chris Harris says:

Approximately 3 hours to tear down an R1150R.

That’s exactly what my clutch pack looked like after removal after 16k
miles. Will soon remove carbon canister as suggested in your other vid.
Thanks for the info on the proper use of a dry clutch plate. Trying not to
feed the hungry BMW pig.

Chris Harris says:

There is no adjustment available for the hydraulic clutch. When the clutch
starts grabbing right off the grip you can be assured that the friction
material is worn out and you need a new clutch disc.

Chris Harris says:

I agree. That is probably why the new Aqua-Pig GS has a wet clutch and it
is mounted to the front of the engine!

Hi Chris! Thank you for your works! Just a little questions….How many
time do you spent to dissassemble the entire bike??? My clutch started to
slip when the engine runs over 5.000 rpm… My 2003 R1150R got only 8.000
miles!!! Greetings from Italy! 😀

The GS models should have stronger clutches and clutch parts! Think of the
abuse they go through. Ditto that for RTP and other police / service
models.

dont’ have to adjust ones with the hydraulic clutch, they self adjust

Chris Harris says:

You’re welcome.
