Re: Power Cut off

I was fortunate enough to have a spare starter relay, but still a no go. And did some of the other tips mentioned. Thinking about what Rob said- since no voltage was getting to the ignition switch, I traced it back to the main power and yes, there was a grounding issue. The good news is that there w...

Re: Power Cut off

It's a 1971. There are no fuses, the PO changed a little with the wiring, so it doesn't have the board in the headlight shell.

Power Cut off

Hey gents- I was riding my 75/5 today and it cut out dead suddenly, like if I ran out of gas and need to flip petcocks to reserve. Which I did with no effect. It cut off and coasted to a stop.

Re: Turn Signal Troubleshooting

They are signals that I bought from a reputable business that sells aftermarket/reproduction BMW parts. They are exactly like the OEM signals. They are polished aluminum, however the reflector is cheap plastic and the two connections require soldering (verses the more heavy duty, old- school push in...
