I am in the process of replacing my clutch. I was informed by Bmw parts warehouse that the centering tool for centering the clutch plate is not available. The BMW tool is the clutch centring bar part #21 2 672, The centring mandrel part # 21 2 673 is available. Any suggestions. I would rather not ask the dealer to use there tool.
Actually, I have drilled a few holes in my LT, but usually in inconspicuous places, and only when necessary. With a little forethought, you can usually make a bracket to fit onto an existing screw or bolt.
Besides, it's my bike, not BMW's anymore (as soon as I finish paying it off, that is). And as soon as we can match calendars, we'll be drilling a few more holes in a few more local LT's.
Greg thanks I am interested but will stick with the stock setup. I wonder if the RS spring has the same rating? Does the increased spring pressure eliminate slow engagement (dragging) with high RPM starts? I bet you can do burnouts now

The problem IMHO is that the other bikes DO have similar spring rating, and the LT is bigger diameter (even compared to RS) and has more area, resulting in LESS lbs per sq inch.
Yes, with dual springs it would lift the front wheel nicely taking off from a stoplight if the flywheel was spun up sufficiently first. Not like my Suzuki TL1000R with the big-bore kit, but it would come up.
