My '99 R1100 clutch lasted 252000 km , and could have gone longer. I had it replaced last year when there was a problem with what was thought to be the clutch , but it was actually the plastic and metal piston at the aft end of the push rod .The piston was collapsing giving erratic clutch behaviour- one minute way too much free play at the handle , the next shift way too tight.This push converter can be changed out without removing the tranny. However since it was in the shop and considering its km I hade the clutch replaced at the same time . In afterthought, I should not have done so, but the $$$$$ are gone now. Now the tranny is in need of repair as a shim or something similar has broken up. Would that they had found that out last year while they had the tranny on the bench!
