HELP! Gearbox bearings r100gs- stuck in darwin

Having just recovered from dengue fever and a dead starter motor, we have now got wrecked gearbox bearings. We are back in Darwin after an abortive attempt south. No mechanics can help (incl bmw- he says he doesn’t have the manuals/ tools, and won’t do it without) and we are stuck…

can anyone tell us where in the world to get the workshop manuals?

or is there anyone in Darwin who you know of who can help?

Not relishing the prospect as this would be the first time but we are going to take out the gearbox ourselves and present it to someone in the hope of it being an easier job. problem is campsites are not allowing us to work on bike and mechanics can’t due to health and safety – need to find a space.

any help appreciated.
