My '84 R65 needs another clutch spline lube job, and I have to admit I'm rather ignorant as to how they work, and what happens when they do not function properly. Does anyone know of a diagram I...

How do clutch splines work?
My '84 R65 needs another clutch spline lube job, and I have to admit I'm rather ignorant as to how they work, and what happens when they do not function properly. Does anyone know of a diagram I...
Comparing gas tank sizes of the R65 and R100R
Since I found out that the "Boxer" graphic that appeared on the 1993 R100R is actually a decal, rather than painted on, I've been thinking I might like to put them on my 1984 R65. Does anyone know...
Hmmmm.... I did not know that! I wonder if the decal would fit my gas tank on my '84 R65? I'll have to check it out! Danke Sehr!
Thanks for the info, Veg. So far, it's been more "curiosity" than anything else. I remember looking at a brochure at my local dealer back in '93-'94 and seeing the R100R with the "Boxer" graphic...
Hi, Mark! :wave
Wow, that was quick!! Thanks SO much!
Anyone know what year it was that BMW offered some of their models with the graphic "Boxer" painted on the gas tank, and if so, where online I might could possibly see an example of this paint job? ...
Tubed tires req'd for my R65?
I have a 1984 R65 with the stock "snowflake" wheels. When I needed a new rear tire last year, the parts guy at my BMW dealer said the stock wheels on the R65 could not accomodate a tubeless tire, so...
Using the accessory outlet to plug in the charger...
Hey, all....
Last year, I replaced my old battery with a BMW sealed gel battery and purchased a BMW trickle charger. For a Christmas present, I got a BMW accessory outlet and a pair of Gerbings...
Ummmm, ummmm, hummmmm...... Suh-weet! :)
John
I plan on adding an accessory outlet on my '84 R65 (which has a BMW sealed battery) and was wondering if there is much difference in the BMW brand, Widder or Gerbings. My local dealer has the...
My '84 R65 began showing its little red light more and more often in the last couple of weeks, and since I don't have the tools or the expertise to properly diagnose the root cause of the problem,...
Yes, let's hope......
But as I'm sure you have heard before, "even a bad day of riding is better than not riding at all". :)
About the time wwe were about to arrive in the area of The Dragon, I realized that because our route was a clockwise one, we were going to be entering the road the Dragon was located on at the "top"...
I thought I'd try to give you all the "Reader's Digest Condensed Version" of the trip to North Carolina my girlfriend Pattimarie and I went on last weekend. I did manage to take a "few" photos while...
YIKES!!!!:eek
Getting rid of the stock sidestand...
Since my stock sidestand on my '84 R65 has become bent and has developed two major cracks, I'm gonna have to replace it, and I think it will be with a Brown sidestand (seems like I've heard mostly...
Yeah, I got an email from Rich at Bob's BMW today, and he said the ones for the R65 just came in yesterday, and are priced at $127.50. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever actually...
OK.... I posted a "wanted" ad on the IBMWR website Marketplace, but no response so far. Why hasn't the BMWMOA put a "Marketplace" site like the IMBWR? Going the route of having to wait until the...
Hmmmm......Brown and Luftmeister, huh? OK, that's a start. Any idea of what a fair price might be for these items?
Better sidestand available for my '84 R65?
Hi, all!
My sidestand on my '84 R65 has become bent to where it lists dangerously when it is deployed and feels like it might fall over, and the tech people who looked at it said they wouldn't...
Boxer Grrlie...
Ah, yes, I remember that bike! Seen it a few times at Touring Sport and talked to the owner as well. You're right - It IS one suh-weeeet scoot! It should be quite a change in...
Danke sehr, Boxer Grrlie! Really looking forward to checking this place out myself! BTW, I saw a pic of you shaking hands with someone at a BMW dealership that looks a WHOLE lot like Touring Sport...
Iron Horse Lodge in NC...
Just wonderin' if anyone out there has stayed at this new "Motorcycle-only" resort near Deal's Gap in NC called the "Iron Horse Lodge". Our club (Upstate SC BMW Motorcycle Club) is going to be...
Thanks, BradfordBenn, I'll do it! I can suck up with the best of them! ;-)
How do I change my user name?
I would like to change my "user name" from "Beemerlover" to something else I recently thought of, but do not see where one could do this on the "edit profile" screen (or anywhere else, for that...
