I recently bought a 1987 K75 with 40k miles on the clock, in relatively good condition.

The only issue is that the clutch doesn't want to disengage on most downshfts, particularly from 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st.

Apparently this is a tell-tale sign of the clutch shaft splines needing lubrication.

Unfortunately I'm not able to do this job myself, I'm looking for someone to diagnose and hopefully sort this problem for me.
I rang my local BMW dealerships and they don't want to touch the bike!

Anyone you'd wish to recommend? I'm in Cambridgeshire. Thank you!

Mikey boy on here might take a look;
 
Check the clutch arm on the rear of the gearbox hasn’t seized.. it has very small needle roller bearings, and get all the shite from the back wheel thrown at it.
Disconnect the clutch cable barrel where it locates/fits onto the clutch arm and see how loose the arm is.
