Anyone have any idea of the mileage lifespan of a Boxer clutch ?
OK I know there are factors such as type of usage, open roads, town etc. but in the past someone suggested to me that 60,000 miles is about the average life expectancy for a clutch on most shaft driven BMW's.
Is that right ?

I have an 1150GS, 2001
I changed the clutch at about 150,000km (85,000miles) and it was only half worn.

I do a combination of short trips to work - about 15Km / 8Mi and longer trips, not less than 120miles, and when I can, the range of the fuel tank.
I am not aggressive on the clutch, cant do a mono to save my life and I dont do burn outs or the like.

Just like a car clutch, put it in gear with the brake on. If the clutch slips, its up for renewal.
I changed my clutch because I convinced myself it needed changeing, even though I did the stall test as I mention above.
I was going on a loooong trip (around the eastern part of Australia), away for 4 months and didn't want / need the hassel of doing away from home.

My brother Graham (ratty on here) has an 1150GS that is still on it's original clutch and now has 146000 miles on it.
No slippage or problems of any sort.

I had an 1100 RT that failed at 18k

Current 1100s all good at 35k, so fingers crossed

It seems that my 2007 r1200rt-p requires a replacement clutch after 35kmiles.
Having watched the Midland Police on Youtube clutch replacement video, has anyone and suggestions how to remove the rear frame assembly complete with rear wheel and drive train, is it just removal, after disconnecting wiring loom and brake hoses, of four frame bolts?
Update..
Job done myself in around 18hrs, with a total cost of £250 included clutch refurb of driveshaft, oils and consumables.
Whils a fiddly job it's perfectly simple, just a nuts and bolts project...Just have a good set of Torx drivers and quality tools.
