I looked in the archive, but couldn't find the answer: Will R60 heads work on an R75 and vice versa...ignoring why, cost, and performance? In other words: An...
Ditto what Bill Wilson said. I would first check the bottom fork yoke to be sure the bolts are torqued to 24-26 ftlbs before checking the headset bearings. It...

Are any members of the group planning to attend Americade this year in Lake George, NY? If so, we might plan an informal get-together on one of the days? Hank ...
I have completed messing around with different bulb sizes and thought I would post an update to what I found. Keep in mind that I am no electrician, and know...
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, Before posting to the list, there are things you need to know. The first thing is : there are 850 people on the list. If...

Lots of ways to do it but your vintage bike never came with them so why bother? If you really wanted it to be correct it'd have the six-gallon tank, not the...
last year we only pulled two or three of the list members into joining us for the festival of fives in suchas ga at two wheels only motorcycle resort - i also...
I recall all those names from the past, having joined BMWMOA back in 1976 (#8276) Glad to see that that club is still around. Does that mean that our...
Glen, I have attached some photos of how my /5 battery covers are held on. They were apparently put on the bike by the dealer before he sold it to my friend,...
I'm assuming the sound is pre-ignition. It sounds like sewing pins bouncing around inside the cylinder, and happens intermittently on my bike in warm weather,...
... Just how easy is this to check (i.e., where does one look)? My speedo has 1.155 stamped on it, which might suggest a final drive ratio of 34:11 if it's...
Bill, Pull your petcocks. I'm sure you will find that the "Red Baron's Revenge" has struck again. The factory red tank lining in these +/- 30 yr old bikes has...
The /5 tank listed on Ebay auction #4553169943 is kind of interesting. I thought all of the small /5 tanks had brackets for the toaster panels, but this one...
I am also interested in the fit with the stock /5 bucket, etc. I plan on saving up for an 'S' cockpit fairing from Wudo in Germany. Ralf sent me the weblink...
Look on the top front of the rear drive casting, immediately adjacent to the hex-headed fill plug for the swingarm lubricant. You'll see something like 32/10...
I guess that I'm experienced using feeler gauges, but I bracket the setting with plus and minus 0.001 inch gauges, just to check. So my took kit has 0.005,...

There is a good reason for the turn signal working in only one direction - as the name LED (Light Emitting Diode) implies, the light is a diode, and lets...
Does anyone know what size of spring and ball bearing are supposed to fit in the /5 choke assembly? I have run a search but it either isn't posted or I'm not...
On the off-chance that no one has mentioned it yet, the ratio or tooth count is normally stamped on the final drive housing right next to the filler plug....

Guy said in part: <I was also concerned about pre-ignition, but ruled it out. Running full throttle under a load should make the problem worse, which is not...
I have a pair of jugs/heads/pistons from a CC Products 1050 kit. One piston is broken at the top ring. I think these could be cleaned up (honed?) and, with a...
Thanks TA, I've now learned my "ONE NEW THING EVERY DAY" for today. I was unaware that LED's are directionally oriented as for current flow. I'd probably toss...
... Right, as long as they were R75/5's. R60/5 and R50/5 both used the "tickler" buttons on the carbs and had a small rubber or plastic plug to close the hole...
My bike pings/tinks intermittently all through summer, and I don't know if I should be nervous. So I'd like to repeat my question: How much pre-ignition is...
I am experiencing oil transfer from the tranny into the driveshaft. This is new this year. When I remove the driveshaft fill plug the level is so high it...
Probably it is too hard. Where are you - maybe there's a tech day or a knowledgeable Airhead near you where you can get an experienced opinion. You also don't...
