Is that what they mean by flushing a K-bike?
it will be tough to have this fixed at any dealer or tire place (liability and such). you can follow the advise seen on this thread, or a used rim may be an option. price them out, hopefully used...
I've never met anyone with any size airhead that could go 10K miles on a valve adjustment. Most of the R75 guys claim they can get 5K. I have to do my R100 every 2,000 miles, so that is when I...

how quickly can i line up to copy what the 'dummies' at harley are doin? my gearbox oil comes out just fine when i change it.
whats not durable about a BMW clutch?? anyway i thought the benefit of a dry clutch was to eliminate the contamination of clutch stuff in your crankcase.
I am often wrong... But you may have an advance unit that is sticking. The DynaIII kept a mechanical advance unit. I have had that problem before when I pulled up to a light I would have to hold...
My dealer is not out, and oh BTW, if you look at the back of your rider's manual it states that BMW recommends Castrol Oil (when you're not paying a premium for 'BMW' oil that is).
If you are a big guy 6'4" + you might want to look at the K1200LT. There are two top cases for the R1200RT 28liter, and 49 liter.
I have a great relationship with God. It's some of his fan clubs that I have a problem with.
You've never had a rear tire go more than 5K miles. That is surprising to me. I'm always hearing stories from people who are getting 15K and I am shocked by them as well. I guess if I am getting...
The problem I have is that the V-rated tire wears out in about 5000 miles.
The lasertecs that I have seen in Parts Unlimited catalog are actually less expensive than the lasers. The problem I have is that the rear tire is only available in a V-rating. I don't know about...
My .02 (if it's worth that much) use BMW branded (Castrol?) dino while the cycle is under warranty. The proper viscocity is based on riding temps and conditions. For most of us that would be...
While the R80 is not going to win too many races, 75mph is about 20-25mph too slow for the top end of this machine. I might look for a second opinion, preferable from a mechanic who knows airheads...
based on the bradford scale, i guess i am a TQ. even here it can get down into the twenties, and in fact my coldest commute to work has been 21F. btw i am originally from muskegon, so my early life...
as a former northerner and current texan, i salute you. now that i live in south texas i am not eligible for your group, but you should be applauded.
I did this move on the advice of my mechanic. I will ask him some specifics on how much cooler. In the mean time if no one with more knowledge than I responds to this thread check out airheads.org...
I noticed a performance difference because I went to a two-into-one at the same I had the header coated. The theoretical difference is cooler running heads on the ceramic coating. I can say for...
What is Jet-Hot coating? I had my headers ceramic coated for the heat dissipation. I had only the outside of mine done, but they can do inside and out.
"More than rubber? Ever blow up a toy ballon and leave it over night?"
That balloon gets smaller because the warm air you blew into it has cooled and now takes up less space, not because of the...
If any question contains the option 'buy an airhead', the correct answer must always be 'buy an airhead'.
Let me preface this by saying that I am not the expert, my mechanic is. So this info is second hand. Dual-plugging is benificial, but may fall under the category of more trouble than it is worth. ...
If you are used to a modern gearbox, the airhead tranny will be a learning experience. The airhead gearbox is primitive. The key to smooth downshifts is to bring up the RPM's before downshifting. ...
