Panama Service
I just ran across this old post and saw that I omitted to update it. For the benefit of others that may have a similar problem, here is what we did.
I had it serviced in Panama City. It turns out there was nothing wrong with the clutch itself. It looks like the hydraulic clutch fluid mineral oil heated and expanded to the point of making the clutch lever useless. After changing it with genuine (and expensive - at least in Panama City) BMW mineral oil, and many hard miles riding two up in the Andes (I'm writing this from Vina del Mar, Chile), we have not had any other problems.
