Hey gang, I've posted this on the IBMWR marketplace in the recent past and wanted to give ya'll the final shot at this stuff before I put it into a pile and...

Hey Folks Having some trouble with the Chokes on my Mikunis sticking, but appearing to be disengaged. Two questions: Any suggestions for lubing the choke? Does...
I've got the RP Mikuni kit on my R75 with the stock choke cable set up. No problems in the 4 years I've been running the kit. I've made a few changes to the...
O.K. , I bought a pair of the 13 rib fork gaiters from Hans Lowe @ Hucky's BMW Parts and decided to install them as Lyman of Ditto MC Service was visiting and...
Not to be a wisea$$ but , you have the world's _best_ bearing packers on the ends of your arms and they'll allow you to closely inspect the bearings whilst...
The wheel bearings should be removed and inspected ONCE if you have no history of them. You certainly can pack them easily and quickly by hand. After that, it...
After Progressive bumped my cycle insurance premium by a factor of two (no claims) I decided to do some shopping. Geico has been advertising their cycle ...
Any advice on giving a stuck piston its freedom? I've tried PB Blaster, whacking it smartly with a block of wood amd blacksmith's hammer while my son jump on...

Presumably this is an _engine_ piston and not a brake caliper piston , I use Diesel fuel all the time to free long stuck engines , it takes time so let it soak...
Jumping on the kickstart lever is not such a good idea. You want to break it lost ---just. I'm assuming the head is off if you are whacking it with something....
Heads & Slashers, You may already know this, but for those who do not. The rally at Watkins Glen ended taday, started last Friday. $48 for 3 nights of camping,...
Well, if it is that stuck, for goodness sake (and the sake of all the parts involved) DON'T try using the kickstarter anymore. Where in the stroke is the...
If the timing chain has been loose for a long time and is really sloppy it can bang against the inside of the case and grind off aluminum. This can make it's...
Depending on the miles on your bike you might well need a new pair of timing gears. My bike (90,000 miles) had the full timing replacement this spring. You...
Ken, Have you tried heating the cylinder? Often, you can break the stuck piston by the different expansion vs. contraction ratios of the different metals ...
the last few weeks I had been having charging problems. I have a '73 R75/5 with a '77 R100RS engine and electrics installed, 280W alt, and with the Dyna...
If it's ever been posted I've missed it. I've heard positive comments about both the Odessey battery and WestCo's battery. Can someone advise me the ...

Bob, Just because the rotor tests good one time, it very well may be opening up only when it gets hot. The "idiot light" is not a very good way to tell the...
Good question Bob. One possibility is that the rotor had taken a magnetic "set" and had enough residual magnetism to induce current in the stator windings...
Out of business - and probably for the best, according to many stories I've heard and the one-and-only time I peeked into their unkempt and filthy mechanics...
hey gang...does anyone know if a loose mirror,the actual mirror itself, not the arm, can be tightened back up? it just kind of moves itself towards the ground...
This could happen to any of us. I never knew the man but I wish him all the best in the time he has left. http://www.bmwmoa.org/about/hawkgoodbye.htm [Non-text...
Going to get together for a weekday ride tomorrow (Thursday) morning. Thought I'd post it up here in case anyone was interested in joining. We are going to...
FWIW, I freed up a stuck brake caliper piston with a grease gun once. I fabricated an adapter that let me screw a zerk fitting into the hydraulic port. Then...

... Hi Bill and all, A mirror is a real strange contraption. The way it works is that the mirror stem goes through a cup-shaped piece of metal until a "stop on...
