Bob, Get thee online to EuroMotoElectrics and score an adjustable solid state Voltage Regulator. Mention 5United. I did and got Free Shippng to Canada!!! My...
Folks; I used to own a /2 with a 10 gallon Hoske tank. The bike looked like a pregnant whale, but it was a lot of fun talking to all the cops that stopped me...
dumb question here ...where is the regulator? I've had this bike since new in 73 and never messed with it. Under the tank? ... voltage regulator, now might be...
... The voltage regulator is under the tank on the right hand side of the frame (right hand as you are sitting on the bike.) Also, just as a reference, the...
I put a new diode board in and, no charging. also checked the alt for ground. then jumped the terminals on the regulator and when I started the bike, the...
I am replacing the defective 4 speed gearbox on my /5 with a 1977 unit (and having the stock 4 speed repaired). A friend is willing to sell me a neutral safety...
It should work, but be careful. First thing is to hook it up with a test light and a battery and check to see if it works by taking it in and out of ...
I recently returned my R75 to roadworthy after a 16 month "renovation". After re-installing the Windjammer and Wixom saddle bags I now have a noticeable...
Adding a Windjammer to a fully stable SWB /5 does not make it less stable. In our most critical of tests we came back with the feeling that the stability was...
I cant seem to get my 1970 R60/5 with slide Bings to stop pinking. It only happens once the machine is fully warmed and in 3 or 4th gear under mid-range...
... The ability to carry extra fuel is an asset with just about any vehicle. If I did not have a six gallon tank, I'd strap a 2 gallon plastic "jerry" can on...
Welcome to the R60 Club… pinking seems to be endemic to the bike. This is my story: Pre-ignition (pinging or pinking) is persistent in R60's due to their ...
Duane's advice on this problem is authoritative, but I will add one comment. I found on my Luftmeister-equipped '71 R60/5 SWB that a change of tire had a major...
a couple things. First, trying to accelerate from midrange is when my R60 also is most prone to ping/pink. It mostly has to do with bore/stroke ratio &...
... *********** Hank's comments on reducing R60 pinking (I call it pinging, being a Yank) are all good. I'll add one other observation... Dual-plugging is...
At what RPM are you having this happen in 3rd and 4th? What fuel grade are you using? If you get the revs up higher does it happen in those gears? Remember...
Hey folks, Just got my first bike - a 1972 R60/5 Toaster. Just got it registered yesterday and will be getting my license this weekend. I'm still quite...
The keys for the fork lock at identical for the /2 and /5. In 74 with the /6 they lengthened the key for an extra tumbler. My website http://w6rec.com...
Chiming in here on dual plugging, it was, if I recall the history lessons posted to the group, the popular engineering control to stop pinging. My 750 was dual...
... I would say installing a Boyer Bransden ignition in my R75/5 was, hands down, the best modification I have ever made to the bike. I would highly recommend...
Very good of you to cover the bike in summer. The sun is really hard on the rubber bits plus rain may get into the speedo and mess things up. There are lots...
Changed my fork oil last night. Used Tom Cutter's archived instructions on making a dip stick and leaving 16 inches of free air space above the oil level....
I bought a 72 r75 in 73 and still have it. The period correct on mine was Wixom. I have a /6 with Krausers on it and don't like them as well. The Wixoms wont...
Yes it would be, for what you're doing. You need to drop both of the fork legs down slightly to allow the oil to get past the end of the damper rods. Just...
Looks like you have a real nice bike there. Hopefully, it hasn't been buggered by any previous owners. First thing is, if you haven't taken the MSF rider...
I have a 1971 R75/5 that I just bought in January. I have been chasing around a few problems, especially electrical. I am having a problem charging my...
... bags - ************ If you can afford them, I highly recommend the Hepco-Becker reproductions sold by Bob's BMW. They look like the Krauser bags, but...
Like Anton said, you need to drop the sliders and don't go twisting the Allen head with the springs loading the dampers - that's a thin and brittle part and...
