The BMW K 1300 GT is a fully faired motorcycle from the German vehicle manufacturer BMW AG. The sports tourer was presented on October 7, 2008 at the Intermot two-wheeler fair in Cologne. Like all models in the K series, the motorcycle was manufactured at BMW's Berlin plant in Spandau and replaced by the K 1600 GT in 2011 . The abbreviation GT stands for Grand Tourismo .
Comparable competing models are the sports tourers Yamaha FJR1300 , Kawasaki 1400GTR and Honda ST1300 Pan European .
construction
The BMW K 1300 GT is a sports touring bike with a powerful engine, good wind protection, comfortable seating position and good chassis. This model was based on the BMW K 1200 GT .
drive
The liquid-cooled four - cylinder engine generates a nominal output of 118 kW (160 hp) at a speed of 9000 min −1 and a maximum torque of 135 Nm at 8000 min −1 from a displacement of 1293 cm³ . The four cylinders of the in- line engine have a bore of 80 mm, the piston stroke is 64.3 mm. The compression ratio is designed to be very high at 13.0: 1. The two chain-driven overhead camshafts actuated via rocker arms two intake and exhaust valves per cylinder.
The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km / h.
Power transmission
In the primary drive , gears connect the crankshaft with the clutch shaft. A hydraulically operated multi-plate clutch rotates in an oil bath and separates the engine from the gearbox. The claw-shift transmission with helical teeth has six gears. In the secondary drive , a cardan drive transfers the engine torque from the gearbox output to the rear axle via a cardan shaft . Elastomer elements in the two-stage cardan shaft are intended to reduce load change reactions . A torque support called a Paralever above the single-sided swing arm reduces the disruptive reaction forces of the cardan drive when accelerating and decelerating.
Electrical system
The starter battery has a capacity of 19 ampere hours and supplies the electric starter , the three-phase generator has an output of 945 watts. The on-board computer communicates with the electronic control components of the engine and chassis via a CAN bus . The rear light is equipped with light emitting diodes . Optionally there is a xenon light , heated seats and grips as well as cruise control .
Fuel supply
A computer-controlled petrol injection pumps the fuel through the injection valves into the cylinders, where it is ignited for each cylinder by a transistor ignition system. The average fuel consumption is 5.8 liters per 100 km. The fuel tank has a volume of 24 liters, of which 4 liters are in reserve. The manufacturer recommends using unleaded petrol with a knock resistance of at least 95 octane . The theoretical range is 414 km. A regulated three-way catalytic converter reduces the pollutants in the exhaust aftertreatment below the limit values of the Euro-3 emissions standard . The 4-in-1 exhaust system flows into a rear silencer on the right rear side of the vehicle .
Chassis and braking system
The chassis is built on a bridge frame made of aluminum, the rear frame is screwed on. The steering head angle is 60.6 degrees, resulting in a caster of 112 mm. The front wheel is guided by a Duolever suspension with 115 mm of spring travel and decelerated by a double disc brake with four-piston brake calipers. The rear wheel is attached to a two- joint aluminum swing arm and is decelerated by a disc brake with a two-piston floating caliper. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) supports the deceleration on both brakes. The foot brake only decelerates the rear wheel and the hand brake lever decelerates both wheels. A traction control (ASC) and a chassis support called Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) are optionally available. The motorcycle decelerates from 100 km / h to a standstill with an average of 10.13 m / s² and requires a braking distance of 38 meters. The GT weighs 298 kg with a full tank. The maximum payload is 222 kg.
Testing
The German magazine Motorrad carried out a long-term test over 50,000 km from 2009. During this test, the clutch basket burst after 24,766 km at a speed of 240 km / h, engine damage at 36,770 km (with a new engine) and electronics problems.
Reviews
“The specified maximum speed of 260 km / h is not a theoretical value, but rather surprisingly easy to achieve and - given the right traffic - to drive over longer distances. It does not matter whether the electrically adjustable window is in the highest position and whether the two standard side cases are fitted. The GT stoically pulls its course. "
“While the gearbox of the 1200s predecessor was still rustic and gave passers-by with loud knocks the impression that the K-driver could not shift, the gear changes on the 1300s are more harmonious. The same applies to the load change reactions . The 'Kadatsch' that accompanied every light throttle on, throttle off from the final drive has largely disappeared thanks to the modified cardan shaft with a two-stage cardan shaft and can only be felt at very low speeds.
