Do let us know what was wrong and the cost to put it right - will be useful for the next victim.

I'll have a look tonight. Is this an economical repair on a slightly ratty r1100s?

It's a 2004 twinspark. Only lost a bulb up to now in the 40K I've put on it.

RGM fixed it.
9 hours labour @ £48 ph = £432
parts = £360
total = £792
Clutch plate.
Shaft
Trawling through the net it seems a common problem. It's half put me off the bike, and I won't be buying another BMW until I'm convinced they can put them together reliably. I can't be bothered changing it at the moment, but if this happens again, I'll get rid.
