1150GS for city traffic

Your clutch will cook within 15k miles of urban usage and cost, if my memory serves me well anything north of £625 to replace. We used to run several bmw's for instructor bikes but the clutches were the last straw. Buyer beware. You will miss your bandit!

No they're not.

46k miles of 'urban usage' and still fine. And over £625? You're not using the right people then...

Hmm, well, to be fair, my first clutch lasted 18k but there was a fault with the master cylinder (fixed under warranter) but my second clutch has lasted over 60k miles. I suspect you must have had a ham fisted lot.

I wish it had been the Instructor's faults, all hold RoSPA Motorcycle diplomas (with distinction to a man) and some are ex Rats so, you might say they kind of know what they are doing !

Quite plainly, it was the bikes, hence why they were gotten rid of.

Well I'm not RoSPA, IAM, Rats or even a Blue Peter badge holder and my clutch is fine... is there a link somewhere?
