Hello there, this is my first post and just wanted to say Hi! I just purchased a 1999 K1200LT with almost 60k miles on it on Friday. I do like this bike a lot...
IBut.. when you are in cruising speed (5th gear) and accelerate, it felt like there was no power being transferred to the transmission, almost like it would slip.. RPMs would go up, but no power it felt like....until i brought the RPMs down and could accelerate slowly to get up to speed. I thought it was no big deal since it is my first bmw, and the guy i bought it off of said "yeah you're probably not used to these engines" whatever.
well today, I was going up a hill, and lost power,,, kept downshifting to try to get some speed, but to no avail. until even in 1st gear it wouldn't go anywhere. all you hear now is just clunk clunk clunk when you put it in gear. So i immediately shut it down and towed it back to my house.
I hear maybe that a transmission bearing might have went out? Would this be expensive to get fixed? any info would be much appreciated! :wave

I'm in west central ohio, (springfield/dayton area) and will probably trailer it over to motohio on tuesday when they open.
