OK, thanks. I thought there was a way short of taking the hinge off.

Never had to remove the seat from my 1975 R75/6. I can't figure out how to slide it off the hinge pins. What's the trick?

I have a 1982 R65. The taillight assembly has separate running and brake light bulbs. The running light is listed in the manual as a 12v 5w. The bulb I pulled out (ancient) has no stock number on it. R. Fleischer's site (http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/lamps.htm) says: "The rear running lamp, BMW...

Thanks all for advice. After some further research, I decided to try the EnDuraLast, seems to be a good product. If I have problems with it, I'll post a review.

Pulled the starter. It has an 8-tooth gear. [430 Bosch; 0.001.157.015]

Back right bolt holding the starter was a challenge, otherwise straightforward.

Thanks for the input. I take it many think the Valeo the best, cost-effective replacement? Worth the $100 over EME's own EnDuraLast?

Crunch,

I was thinking of doing a replacement to get up and running quickly. Then I'll have a spare to rebuild when I've got some more time. Enduralast cost is $165. Valeo is $265 (from EME). Nippondenso (Motorrad Elektrik) is $350. Thought to try the Enduralast.

1. Any tips for removing a starter for a 1975 R75/6?

2. Anyone have a link to a good instructions for doing so?

3. Any experience with the EnDuraLast replacement from Euro Moto Electrics?

4. Is their battery cable replacement set better than stock?

Thanks in advance.

Got the cable in. Thanks. All is well, nice to have a tachometer that doesn't jump all over creation. My trick for getting the timing cover back on (the edges of the new tachometer rubber housing where the cable goes into the timing cover): 1. Take the tube out of a Armour All spray bottle, 2. Run t...

1975 R75/6. Tachometer went south. I've got a replacement unit as well as a new cable. Got the new unit in the instrument cluster, will send the bad one to Overseas Speedometer (unless someone knows of a better place). Any hints re replacement of cable? Any tricks? Lube or not lube (if so, with what...

Did the '79-84 R65 have the same rear brake shoes as the R65LS? Part numbers are different. I'm trying to figure out if NOS aftermarket shoes (Ferodo FDB804) will work on my stock 1982 R65. Seller seems to think so, my research suggests different.
