Point well taken Phil. I truely admire those who can keep a bike original or nearly so. And a stock 50/2 is a sweet old bike. We all of us though, have an...
I have to agree with Phil. Swapping an R50/5 engine is not the best way to increase power. The bike would be much more enjoyable and worth more in stock...
Does someone have an easy trick to replacing the carburetor tubes on a /5? I have the fiber or plastic originals and they have been torn a little on the edges...
Quick question on the basket case. haha I recently went from US bars to EURO bars on my /5. I did not change any of the cables, and thought I had rerouted...

Hey guys, When attaching the cables to the enrichener lever arm on the Bing CV should the lever be against the lower stop? I noticed that when I actuate the...
I agree w/leaving the /2 as is, but in defense of the R50/5, the fastest solo BMW in my race club (USCRA) is an R50/5, belonging to Tim Courts of Vermont....
Hi Fritz, First, if you don't already know this, there is a left and right side tube. Look for fading, etc. as clues to what is the top, and then hold them up...
The /5 type of tubes are much more delicate. The only thing I find to work with the /5 is to loosen the carb-to-intake-stub connection and to rock the carb at...
First of all, I would like to thank everyone on the board for their knowledge, and also I thank the moderators for making it all work. The bike: early '72 R60,...
... try ... I'm ... I did something like this last summer on the front brake disk of my '72 Norton Commando For several years I've been dissatisfied with the...
... No matter how much epidermal abrasion I practice on my face, I'm still staring at someone about to turn 52-years-old. That being said, if you don't want to...
Any wisdom out there on de-glazing of brakes? Thanks much. ========================== What you propose should be SOP at every tire change along with hitting...

When the enrichener hand-lever is all the way up (running position), the inner cable should have JUST pushed the lever on the carb against the lower stop. ...
Just a suggestion. Some of my instrument light bulb sockets have had the plastic cracked and broken away. These are the ones that are not grounded in the...
Late last summer, I bought a Nelson-Riggs AX-1 rain suit, which is very well made and unlike my old Dry Rider has zippered gussets in the legs so huge that...

Eddie, When the enrichener is not engaged the lever arm on the CV should be against the lower stop. When engaged it should be against the upper. Peter Stevens ...
Fritz, On the 2 that I replaced I had no luck with either levering them out or the slide hammer. I had to resort to more drastic measures and drill them out....
