I took the bike on an Iron Butt, Saddle Sore, 1033 miles in 19 hours. She was beautiful. I'll do a full write-up in the coming weeks and share the...
While you're replacing electrical parts, you might want to replace your old electromechanical voltage regulator with a modern solid-state one. ?The voltage...
That's great advice. In fact, the current problems I am seeing with the flasher may very well be caused, or at least exacerbated by a failing voltage...
I've never heard of those wattages for charging output. My understanding was that the early machines were 180 watt output and the later ones right up to 1995...
For some reason, I have it in my head that only an early /6 stator will fit on a /5 to gain the wattage output (and by swapping diode board and adding a 3rd...
Everyone: I'm looking for the mounting hardware for my 71r60/5. I would like to mount a set of aluminum panniers but have no hardware. Does anyone out there...
Hi list, My 1973 R75/5 (LWB) does not have the wedges installed in the handlebar perches. After I removed the perches to install the wedges, I noticed that...
You should be able to just pry the gap open. ?The casting is designed to flex. ?I think you'll be surprised how easy it is to open up. Best, Ed Bianchi '71...
Another data point for /5 turn signal flasher equivalents: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10250913#post10250913 --Bill Harris '73 R60/5...
Some may find the solid state signel relays will blow the fuse on the lighting circuit as I did..... but I further modified my fuse holders to an American add...
Wonder why it did that? I can think that the electronic unit would need a + and - on the two terminals (marked "L" and "X") whereas the old thermal unit is...
... I have trouble understanding how a two wire electronic flasher can blow a fuse in a normally running flasher circuit... Now if it was across the battery...
OK since I replaced the wireing during my scession and when I rewired the signels left was slow right was faster I could not find anything wrong except for the...
... The thing is normally a two terminal flasher (either solid state or electromechanical) is wired at the supply (battery) end, it then goes to the turn...
To any /5'er in Tejas or those with shipping knowledge. I'm trying to get a /5 from Spring, Tx. to Birmingham, Ala.. If you have knowledge of companies that...
Back on-topic, both the Buss 552 and the #262 electronic flashers have an "X" terminal, which is to be connected to the +12 volt source and an "L" terminal,...
I've been learning (painfully) the ins and outs of inner tubes. One last mystery to be solved before I buy some and go on to other concerns... I've discovered...
... Here in central CT not only did the BMW megamart also carry the Triumph and Ducati marques but now all three have been absorbed by the Harley-Davidson...
Hi all, Been talking to Lyman about some possibilities, but thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem. When riding at 65-80 miles per hour the bike...
Sure does sound like the flow of gas down to the carbs isn't quite adequate. I'd be looking for crud on the filters above your petcocks. 'Nother possibility...
All good points. so far. I also found out those floats go bad after so many years. AND There's a little black v point seal that the float pushes up/ gravity...
I showed Carl the water he had, when he pulled his float bowel to look for debris, which he said he had earlier..... And given the idea, worse when full.. then...
When riding at 65-80 miles per hour the bike will hesitate, as if it had a momentary loss of gas. The peculiar thing is, it'll happen frequently for about 25...
Hi all. You know how the passenger foot pegs are different on the /5 and /6 bikes, right? Anybody know WHY they are different? Obviously BMW thought it was a...
Hi: What was the original state of the finish on the aluminum Weinmann rims? I have my wheels disassembled for respoking and this is a great opportunity to...
