  • I tear apart my broken BMW RnineT / R1200 gearbox after it blew up, suspiciously after the warranty expired.

    Typically moto gearboxes are not synchronized. It's usual gearbox in terms of dog-clutch mechanism.

    If your "preloading your shifter and you hear a noise" it's no wonder you've broken the gearbox

      While I agree with your sentiment, and I too am upset almost everything that isn't bespoke or made with a conscience is considered 'throw-away'. The RnineT shares a lot of components with the DOHC and SOHC R1200 bikes. That's more than 20 years of parts! That lends itself nicely to availability, fair pricing and general knowledge pool.
      I wouldn't limit the upsetti spaghetti to just BMW, it is far more reaching. The RnineT and DR650 are two bikes I was considering when purchasing a new bike to replace my 2000 Suzuki GS500E, I specifically sought a 'retro' bike with a dumb-as-rocks architecture. That said, the CANbus I see being irritating to deal with in the future...in 20+ years...

      I love my RnineT, but there were certain things when replacing the gearbox that made me not like it. BMW kinda forces your hand to do things a certain way.

    On what type of motorcycle was that gearbox mounted. Greetz from Holland

    • @NSUGS
      @NSUGS  Před 25 dny +1

      This gearbox is from a 2018 BMW RnineT Urban G/S. Though the gearbox is nearly identical to 2004-2012/2013 R1200GS/GSA models.
      Edit:
      Holland, wow! Never ceases to amaze how tangible the reach of the internet can be!

    so do you know actually exactly what was the cause of transmission failure? never heard of that happened in this engine

    • @NSUGS
      @NSUGS  Před 26 dny +1

      I'm going to assume a mis-shift/false neutral. I have the exact moment of failure in another video.
      So far, only 2 broken teeth, however I can't figure out why the gearbox locks up when rotating the shafts manually. Not like I can apply much torque to twist the gears into a bind.
      My first thought was the shifter mechanism, but I'm really not sure now. Given the history of these R1200 gearboxes, I'm calling it a freak accident and taking my loses. I'm just as confused.
      Shy of pulling the shafts and inspecting the tolerances between the gears, I'm not sure what else to do.

    • @NSUGS
      @NSUGS  Před 25 dny

      I have not repaired the broken gearbox, no. I simply replaced the gearbox with one from a 2013 R1200GSA.
      At least that way, I still have a motorcycle to ride and I'm not hung up waiting for parts and the bike in a million pieces.
