@@BrooksAirheadGarage cheers mate. My house is near the Bucharest main and only airport. Always we will find a bed for a classic motorcycle enthusiasts. Keep that in mind..
I'm glad this was helpful to you JB. There is a lot of details about this work on my website that you can access from the link in the summary of the video.
Hi brooks, Great video, but I’m having trouble removing the output and the intermediate shaft in a /6 gearbox ... heating it up till it’s sizzling and rocking them both hasn’t done a thing... and other options to try?
HI Andey, I learned that turning the case upside down in my parts washer so gravity is my friend helps. Then I heat just the bearing pockets on the outside of the case with the torch until the gears clusters fall. That usually works. If need be, you could tap on the pockets with a plastic mallet to encourage the bearings to slide out of the pocket.

Brilliant Brook, I have watched this Tutorial a few times and hopefully never having to do it, but it makes compulsive viewing .
Hi Malcolm, It is a bit like brain surgery "self-taught", but without the blood and anesthesia :-)
Great video - very clear as always. It was helpful that you gave the approx. heating time because a newbie would need to know how much is enough.
Thank you Peter.
beautiful work in progress mate ..wish you a many & a many more of these projects
Thank you Rahul.
Thanks for the very useful information. Cheers from Eastern Europe Romania.
Thank you Emilian. Your country is my list of places I want to ride a motorcycle. 🙂

Ottimo video,mi servirà per rifare il mio cambio che è appena andato distrutto.
i am considering getting a long fifth gear for my R80 G/S, do I have to disassemble the gearbox completely for that ? Thank you :)
Yes. And you will need to reshim it as well.

@@BrooksAirheadGarage I will give it another try
is this the same trans as what's in my '81 R80 G/S?
Nick, The procedure is the same for the '81 R80 G/S. Check MAX BMW parts fiche for the correct parts you may need.
Any idea on if this is all applicable to a 1980 R100RT?
Yes, it's applicable.
@@BrooksAirheadGarage How do you know this stuff, are you a BMW motorcycle technician?

@@BrooksAirheadGarage I'm assuming you had motorcycle/auto mechanic experience prior though?
@@Te4mUp Not really, but I am a child of the 1950's when fixing and tinkering were part of every day life. So maybe that all rubbed off on me. :-)
