We sure do see quite a few BMWs in the shop for maintenance. We work on all bikes, and I guess the word is out: Gerry and our maintenance team’s experience with BMWs and all other kinds of motorcycles is second to none.
I snapped a few photos of three Beemers in the shop this afternoon. All three bikes came in for clutch replacements and other maintenance. It sure is a lot of work to get to the clutch on some of the older model BMWs.
I looked at the first two bikes shown in the photos above and I was startled, but Gerry explained that the work actually goes fairly quickly. Interesting.
Gerry and I are assembling a maintenance tutorial on how to address the issue of RX3 stalling when coming to a stop. Sometimes we get reports of this happening. It doesn’t happen often, but it does occur on occasion. We have a number of things we do to prevent it, and we’ll post a tutorial on our approach. We’re using Gerry’s personal RX3 for this one…
You know, I’m hesitant to post things like this because when I do, some dweeb will post the photos all over the Internet in a brainless attempt to portray the RX3 in a negative light. It happens, I guess. We’ll always come down on the side of being open and keeping you up to date on how to keep your bike running well. Watch for our tutorial in a day or two.
Ride safe, my friends, and stay tuned.
