Apologies if this info is already posted somewhere here, but I can't read every back thread. ( I've done a few).Yes I've had the nasty experience of walking out to the shed to ride my recently acquired new toy, 2001 R1150RT to find a pool of oil under the back wheel. Bearing seems like it might be grumbly ( haven't lifted the caliper right off but 2 opinions), so out it comes.At least it didn't happen away from home. Anyway, has anyone got the setup/ clearance details for shimming the preload on the bearings?I have found videos to disassemble the thing, doesn't look too hard but can't find a set up 1 and I understand it is utterly critical to get it right.Bought Haynes Manual, was all in sealed wrapping so couldn't check contents, when I did get inside I found that that particular rebuild "was beyond the scope".... Apparently the Clymer 1 is better but is more expensive, (but not as expensive as the factory version, and better) and not readily available here.Soo if any of you good people have the necessary info,could you email it to me, willmots@ihug.co.nz would be much appreciated. I bought the darn thing to ride this summer instead of doing up the R80 now I have 2 piles of u/s Teutonic tin!
