...So with a break in the weather over here I managed to spend some time with my toolbox and the Bike today. The bike is still running rough intermittently but I am sure, it is NOT fuel or air related. I think it is electrical. After extensive reading and re-reading and re-reading on this site on AB...

A brief update... I have been unable to get out on the bike over the last week due to work but tonight I got a chance to get a look. It started easily and sounded fine, with no hesitancy etc. I decided to take it out and have a 'feel'. It ran sweetly and pulled sweetly. I gave it a blast and it seem...

It was lumpy and hesitant when I gently turned the throttle then would suddenly surge Do you mean suddenly run healthily? What happens when throttle backed off again? What happens when throttle is increased past where the engine 'surges'? I'll try to be more clear in what I meant by 'surge'. When I...

Hello all, I have been away from computers and on the bike as much as possible but as the weather really begins to kick in here on the South Coast of UK I thought I'd update my post. I'm new to internet forums and as a result my initial post slipped my mind. The problem I was having with the difficu...

Hi I'm quite new to boxers and the forum but my 1986 R80 Mono has been suffering from the old electrical/ charging gremlins. The main problem was with erratic starting and the old familiar click clicking/ machine gun rattling/ of the spinning starter, (it is the starter/ solenoid right?) and the eng...

Hi, This is my first post. I have just bought a BMW R80 mono. I'll get around to putting some pics up soon Its been customised a little already toward a cafe racer style but with a 2 up seat. Its a naked bike but I am keen to fit some kind of small bikini type fairing to help with touring. I wanted ...
