Hello from Ireland,recently back in the k world having previously suffered at the hands of a K1200r.Slipping camchain exploding clutch covers,rattling clutch and abs failure are what I can remember but I still liked the bike.So I now have a k1300s ms 15 reg with just 13k miles.Love the bike but its currently recovering from a fd seal/bearing failure which was quite nasty as it covered rear tyre and disc in oil.A sharp left bend would have seen me down.Anyway a local dealer put new bearings and seals in the right side of fd and I did the left as bike was in my shed.Still leaking from where both sides join so I will update in proper section when I know more.My other bikes are r1150gs which gave all the usual hassle,broken gearbox input shaft,broken clutch,hall sensor but is sorted now thankfully.BMtrouble'u' s you have to love 'em.I also have an xt600 plus some strokers namely rd500,rg500,rd350 and a dt175 so some retro nightmares to go with the more modern ones.Anyway I love the site having only lately discovered it after the demise of ibmw.I hope you all have a great Summer season with plenty more of them to come, Gene.
