macx Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I think I really goofed. Hadn't ridden in a little while, had forgot about period spray lube for the side case latch. Went to open one and pulled too fast / hard on the latch. Something snapped inside the latch assembly and now it doesn't latch. A quick look sort of looks like there's no way to get it apart to see what wrong or hopefully fix it. I'm going to look at the S/S online fiche and see if they break down any parts for it, but am not hopeful. Any experience or suggestions? Thanks!! Link to comment
Tri750 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I think if you specified which model bike you have, you may get an answer or two. Link to comment
macx Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 I thought this was for the 10 thru 12 R12RT? Anyway, that's what I have. Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Here's a thread that covers taking apart the side cases. The last post has a link to a pictorial. There may be additional pictorials and links in other responses in the thread. One response from way back has broken pic links. Good luck, let us know how things go. http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=675732&page=1 Link to comment
mrzoom Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Note to self. Go slow, take pictures and make notes. A cardboard outline of the inside so you can put the screws where they came from. I think there are 4 or 5 different lengths. Removing lid first is helpful. Good luck. Link to comment
