Clutch help......please!

Nope. First indications is slipping, same as a clutch. It can continue to slip for quite a while unless severely abused, in which case the rubber bonding can melt.

Exactly what I read last night on the RS forum too.
Such a weird thing and I suppose hard to diagnose as it feels like clutch slip. Only for all clutch components in mine are brand new with zero miles yet I still have "slip" it would be a bugger to find.
I'll be very busy next few days so hope to get to it on Saturday, going to try mark it with a long slim artists paint brush as I can't face pulling the drive apart again so soon!

Well your belief is wrong..... It's all variable.

Fair enough….as you say, it's all variable, so I'm may be right in some instances.

In the same instances that a broken clock is right twice a day.

hahahaha - "It's always five o'clock somewhere." Jimmy Buffet ?
Anyway, isn't the 1200RS clutch that 'new' cheapo Chinese muti-plate WET version ?
The so-called "anti-hopping" one - balderdash.
I'm told on very good "Authority" ( geddit ? ) that the new-ish 1200 patrol-cop bikes no longer suffer from clutch problems after continuous bad treatment by Mr. Plod-On-2-Wheels; only the rubber welded issue discussed above. And rust deterioration leading to shaft failure caused by the BMW-forbidden jet-spraying to clean a bike.

I'm happy with that synopsis ta.
