Somthing else to consider, after changing to the Dr. Pulley clutch, I viewed the original clutch and noticed it didnt fully engage. I think you really have to wear it in to get full contact. The peak of each 4 pads was only the middle 1/3 showing wear.
If after knowing this, and keeping the stock clutch. I would probably make some maintenance plan for the pads and bell after every riding season. I will be inspecting my dr pulky clutch this winter to see how it looks as well.
Once every two weeks or so I do a full power engagement to prevent excessive glazing of the shoes.
There are no electronics in our cvt systems. It's much like a constant speed propeller hub in an airplane. It's spinning counterweights and springs that are effected by torque load.
I will put in a Dr. Pulley when my clutch wears out, same for the sliders. If the BMW clutch is anything like the cars it will last for 150K.
It's not a function of wearing-out, but rather that of smooth operation. Under warrantee, a C600 owner in Spain finally took it in, as the clutch's juddering at take-off was getting worse. After he picked it up with a replacement factory clutch, by the time he rode home it was WORSE than when he had brought it in! After that, the dealer put in a HIT clutch...problem GONE. Happy owner and RETURN customer.
