AH HA!! Went for a longer ride today, just feeling and listening, and seeing. I saw something that makes things make sense… The odometer doesn’t work! So WHO KNOWS how many miles are on it! Wasn’t running when I bought and he kinda pushed that it was, low mileage! And I’d assume if I called and aske...

That’s the thing, original owner, who I bought it from said he got it new back in 80 from his dealership friend who had it left over still in the crate and that those are original miles, which is 25,000km. So assuming honesty, very low miles. I don’t have any reason to think he’d lie, and parts of t...

I gotta find someone else down here with a similar bike to have a feel. Ya know, maybe it really is all the fairing. It has a big wind jammer fairing that I can tell is heavy, but maybe it’s amplifying the vibration, and maybe it IS the noise. I’ve tried grabbing and palming all over every part of i...

1978 R100/7 manufactured 10/77 So I’m getting this basket case moving. Getting carbs balanced and what not. Been taking it out on 5-10 mile rides a few times a week. Maybe all these things are normal but, Still have this rough spot, in the 2500-3000 rev range and a lot of engine noise, kinda clunky....

I have not ridden it around much at all. First and only ride I saw how vibey it was and figured I need to get these carbs right. And that the front brake may need a rebuild, it’s sticking. But I have ridden on a 1994 R1100RS, 2004 R1100S and a 2013 R1200R currently. So I like BMW because of the boxe...

So I got a timing light. At idle I see the S in the middle, however at 3000rpm the F is just low of the window. I did find an air leak in the RH air tube. Gonna have to order a new one of those it looks like. Was able to patch it for now. Pulling on each of the cables does the same thing. I’m thinki...

Shoot, forgot to mention, I took the head covers off and adjusted the valves. .15 intake and .20 exhaust. Also torqued the bolts to 25ft lb, as some were a little loose. Haven’t checked timing, I’ve never done anything like that nor do I have the tools. I’d hope the electric ignition is mounted righ...

Hello all. I was referred to this forum by a good guy from another forum, said this is where the REAL DEAL information is regarding airheads. I talk a lot and may not get what I’m saying across well, but that’s just me, I try my best. Sorry this is going to be a long one as I try and lay out where I...
