    Venting tube clip in front

    Ladies and men,

    After my last service I noticed that the little clip in the front that is supposed to hold two venting tubes was hanging loose by only the venting tube on the clutch side. I tried to clip it back on but  there must be a piece missing as that didn't work. I see the part number from BMW OEM parts (for the clip) I guess I'll order that and see what happens.   :084:

    Or i could go back to the dealer - bleh !!

    BTW First time BMW owner here in Phoenix, AZ area if anyone else is around let me know.

    Are you talking about the ones that clip into the belly pan? There should be a little plastic protrusion in the belly pan and you just push the clip onto it.

    Yes, I believe that is the one. The plastic piece may be missing. There is a piece that holds the two belly pan pieces together. Maybe I need to retry ?

    Thanks for the response.

    Looking to the front of the bike this piece just protrudes off the inside of the left part of the belly pan, it's literally just a small protrusion.

    Haha no worries, the clip is like a W shape, the middle of the W just pushes onto this protrusion  :152:
