I do mine every other riding season. I stripped the splines on my gearbox input shaft many years ago cuz I neglected that lube job for to long. Luckily I wasn't to far from home.

In a few years you will make parts like that on your 3D printer in minutes that fit exactly. I would look closely at taking the head insert out and making an adapter to weld onto it. I am trying to remember exactly what those parts look like, as I haven't looked at one in many years now, maybe 30. ...

Just out of curiosity, those hand operated lever chokes, are they fussier than using a cable choke? I imagine its easier to flood the carb no? Didn't the old Del"orto carbs come with finger operated tickler to prime the carb? The newer ones look like they're all cable operated. Are there fake D...

I've always been happy with those old Type 53's, and its all I'm familiar with, although some think they are steam engine era carbs....and once I've gotten them dialed in, they do manage to work fine for years on end with no other adjustments. I think I've only done two minor rebuilds on them since ...

Isn't the inlet/intake spigot outside dia. on the cylinder head the same on R90S and R60/6 ? My type 53 Bing carbs have that fiber sleeve pressed inside that makes the that fit to the intake spigot extra tight and secure. Did the R90S Del' Orto carb also come with a similar inner fiber sleeve for th...

hi cat , out of curiosity when you purchased the boyer where you informed of the OE coils has the wrong resistance to suit the boyer ? i was always lead to believe that you can use the standard coils. recently was told that using the wrong coils can make the boyer unit run hotter than normal ? Hell...

I installed a Boyer Brandsen Micro Digital a few years ago only to have it fail about 1500 miles later. The bike started missing like hell, and luckily I was able to keep the machine from stalling out by keeping the revs up til I got it home. I did all kinds of trouble shooting before re installing ...

Thought I'd post a follow up on this sprocket swap I did. Pulling the sprockets went easy with the Cycle Works crankshaft sprocket pulling tool and the modified 3 prong puller for the camshaft sprocket included in the same kit. I wound up following Mr. Falconer's suggestion to pull the camshaft out ...

That is very helpful info. I haven't started the job yet as I'm still getting my parts order together. Perhaps taking that camshaft out is the way to go. To manipulate that gear on a removed camshaft in a vise requires a special bmw pulling and pressing tool though doesn't it? A few weeks ago I pick...

I appreciate that sound advice. I was hoping to avoid another engine teardown. Cheers!
