Diagnosis: Bug death
« on: August 29, 2011, 02:17:09 PM »
I got the tranny off of Johnny's old "Bug-eyed motobrick" (a.k.a. the motoheap) - a 94 K1100RS that died in Iderhoe:



Here's what a "normal" worn clutch plate looks like:



Here's what the back of the bug's engine looked like after the clutch plate 'sploded:



Those are little piles of the clutch plate friction material.  :o

the bug served us well except for the last 3 rides of its life...

may 2011 drive shaft...
june 2011 final drive...
june 2011 clutch...

now the bug is a donor... so other motobricks can have another chance to live hard n fast again...

expensive tires... cheep oil... ride it till it wont move...

It requires supernatural motobricking skilz to do that.

Ch!t, the Bug will be reincarnated by the diabolical Dr. Duck into something totally insane. I believe the Bug will live to carve again and I further believe jo will mount that thing in the future. Carnak the Magnificent has spoken.

Nope. It's got a rebuilt title and too many miles/too much electrical tape.  It's parts will be spread around the globe.....

The bug graciously donated it's handlebars and cruise control to the 93 RS I recently purchased.
