You may want to try a installing a gelpad. I modified my stock BMW low seat , by carving it out and installing a 3/4" gel pad into it , overlaid with 3/8" memory foam. Materials cost about $60 ,...

Can anyone recommend a rental source for BMW motorcycles in New Mexico ? I want to take a ride out there this winter for a week and would rather not to have to rent a Harley Davidson again ( I always...

This sounds identical to the symptoms I had on my K75 , which turned out the by intermittent HES sensor . I purchased a used one for $100 which fixed the problem (and I figured at worst , it was a...

If it's not water that shorted out the switch causing the light to go on or a short in the wiring, it may well be the oil pressure switch going bad . If you unplug the wire from the switch and the...

I am currently riding a K75 which would be a great first (and for me long term)bike . But, it is a bit top heavy and could be expensive to fix if dropped while learning , when compared to some other...

Near the Robert C. Byrd radio telescope there , on one of the few days it wasn't raining ... a great area to ride ... with excellent roads , little traffic and very friendly people ...

I too broke my clutch cable in short order when I first bought the bike. Since then have 1) Used "never seize" on all the pivot points in the clutch lever 2) Never use the clutch to retract the side...

Just to close out this thread. I replaced the hall sensor , problem fixed. Verified by trouble free 2,000 mile ride ;-)

PS: I never cleaned any connections or switches yet, but will do so later...

All ,

* Sorry about the long ramble before.*

I can comment on this, and make one more suggestion, but I CANNOT repond to the last big posting by Todd since there is not a single paragraph...

Hmmm ... I'm trying to understand how these parts would kill the engine based on the K75C schematic, but I'll keep them in mind. They are certainly easy to check. I will experiment to see what...

Thanks for the replies . And link. I will do those items . This problem is a doozy. I've debugged many electrical probs over the years, but this truly intermittant one takes the cake. I've never had...

I'm still tracking down an intermittant failure in my 1995 K75. Once it gets really hot ( after approx 30 miles ) , when just riding along at 5-50 mph , the engine will completely shutoff, tach...

Question : In stormy / windy weather ( ie thunderstorm blowing thru with those initial 60 mph gusts ) , other than parking your bike in a protected area , any reccomendations as to side stand vs...

JQ,

Thanks , I was just looking at those on the internet , when I got your post . I had put them on my Yamaha SR500 and have been happy with them . I like the look of the tread pattern .

I need to replace the tires on my 1995 K75C . It currently has Metzler ME33 100 / 90 - V18 ( front ) and ME550 130 / 90 - 17 (rear ). I'm not too crazy about this tire combination ( it follows...

There's a K75 for sale on Ebay that has been modified , to replace the Mono swing arm with a paralever one. This seems to be a very worthwhile modification, which I'd never heard of ( but would like...

Don,

Thanks for the detailed instructions !
I have printed them out .

The bike has been running 100% since the "un-explained incident" . What I beleive "may" have happened or contributed to...

Does BMW ( or some other org ) offer a roadside assistance program , if your bike strands you alongside the road somewhere ? Or is best just call the closest dealer ( or BMW anonomous person ) who...

I too bought a magnetic tank bag , only to have it slide off onto the floor . The original fuel tank on my 1995 appears to be aluminum.

I have a 1995 K75 with 16,000 miles on it , purchased by me at 10,000 miles. I like doing my own maintenance wherever possible and have now done everything but valve adjustment. The manual says to...

In addition to ensuring all pivot points are lubed ( which is critical ). I'd also recommend NOT using the clutch to retract the kick stand for you , or disconnecting the kickstand retracting rod all...

Don , Now there's something I didn't see in any manual. Thanks so much for the great idea ... ! Makes perfect sense !

If schedues permit, will try and make it down there the end of April ... an...

Don,

Thanks for the info ! And also for such a VERY speedy reply... I will do it by the book, using the hang-it-by-a-rope-from-the-garage-ceiling method ... sometime before the riding season...
