Re: Oil filler leakage.

I totally agree with MS. I just replaced both O-rings on my '96 R1100RT (the one on the cap and the one that seats into the valve cover). I used O.E.M. O-rings. It was quick/ cheap and easy fix.

Re: 1977 BMW R100/7 float needle question

I just looked up on Max BMW's on line parts and the only float needles they show and describe are the same as the ones I just received. They are the ones with three sides, rubber tip, and retaining clip. These needles wont work in that they are too large in diameter and wont go into the float valve ...

Re: 1977 BMW R100/7 float needle question

Hi everyone I am new here and am having trouble finding an answer about the carb. float needle on a 1977 R100/7.
