Clutch
Centrifugal mass is of advantage for Cruiser
engine speeds. This is achieved by a solid
clutch case cover with the R 1200 CL.
The weight of the clutch disc on the other
hand, with a diameter of only 165 mm, has
been reduced in order to attain a fast stand-
still of the gear drive shaft.
This optimizes the engaging and disengag-
ing of the 6-speed gearbox.The wear resis-
tant friction lining of the clutch disc togeth-
er with the strong casing cover additionally
offers high temperature resistance.
