Mechanic
 

The closest BMW mechanic to you that I know of is Alejandro in Punta Arenas. I was there a few weeks ago and he replaced my differential seal, R1200GS ADV.
He speaks some English and most importantly, a good mechanic. This would be your best option in my opinion. I can pass on a cheap place to stay as well. Good luck.

Good luck with sorting the clutch. When changing the clutch you'll new oil and filter (or does the 1150 have a separate dry clutch like the old 2 valve airheads do? If this is the case, no need to change oil/filter).

If you can't get new clutch plates, then scratch/deform the old plates that there is some friction between them and try to carry on, taking it real easy.

hello
hahahaha
thanks for your answers but alejandro just didn't care
"offering" parking for 80$/month until he might have a look to the bike in…march, maybe april (3 month temporary import max)
he had so much work taking care of 16 bike maintenance of 3 different company
well i might call him again if i need tyres or …just nothing…
he didn't even looked at the bike
a great professional, he could work for BMW France and this not a compliment
ride safe, cheers

So, what are you doing/have you done to extract yourself from the situation?
