Hi people So far I have only run around in the golf forums or in the Guzzi forum, but I have run a K75 RT, so now here my question. The motorcycle is from 1992, has not yet run 60,000km, is in a very good condition and as a lack actually only a defective tanker, which I then exchange soon. The ABS is expanded and this removal is also registered. I do not like ABS. Now the actual cause of these lines: I am not satisfied with the windshield. It is the high disc, but from about 120 the wind disturbs. I remember reading that the K75 (K100) has particularly low wind noises. What disc does this low to no wind current have? One looks at pictures from time to time with discs with an upper edge pulled upwards. Would that be the solution? Or an electrically adjustable? Or such a narrow disc attachment? I am 185cm long and not a “sitzriese”, if I go about 5cm with the head down and forward, it becomes clearly better to sit down. Besides, I don’t like to change the idea of a closed helmet?

Dear Schraubergemeinde, here again an ÖL inquiry to the knowledgeable colleagues. For my new used BMW R50, built in 1959 I discover in the BMW original repair instructions of the Bayerische Motoren Werke AG Munich, the following specifications. Engine oil: SAE 40 transmission oil: SAE 40, from Fg.-No. 646 486 Hypoid oil SAE 90 rear wheel swing: SAE 40, from Fg.-No. 646 358 Hypoid oil SAE 90 rear wheel drive: SAE 40, from Fg.-No. 641 986 Hypoid oil SAE 90 According to the Fg.-No. of my R50, I would have to take for all SAE 40. Here my questions: What exactly is SAE 40? Is SAE 10W40 also SAE 40 or what would I have to buy? Even if I should take a test by BMW SAE 40, it would be possible or even better to take Hypoid oil SAE 90 for gearboxes, swings and end drives? Is the SAE 40 for the engine the best or if you recommend another oil?

Ladies and gentlemen, I own a BMW F800GT, built in 2017 with 7500km. Unfortunately, I have found that the vehicle obviously loses a liquid, as can be seen in the attached photo. My workshop suspects that the liquid originates from the oil flow of the air filter box. Is this problem known to you and can you tell me further information or solutions for this? It also runs from top to bottom. However, I can’t identify where. Thank you in advance for your support.

Hello together, I have a new used R1150R Built 2002. Now I would like to connect a Navi. Under the seat is probably a plug, but it has more holes than with a trailer coupling. Here I can not plug in a cigarette lighter. Sorry if I can not find the right words professionally, with that I am rather lay 🙂 If someone has a tip or advice like me best install or connect a cigarette lighter or an onboard socket.

Moin, tomorrow I look at a 1150RT, bj2004 and 80tkm run, the motorcycle is maintained checkheft, what else should I pay attention, what is important to know when buying such a purchase. TÜV is made new. Greetings Toontje

Hello Have ABS modulator changed Does this need to be re-learned or configured?? ABS lamps blinking equal-phase Who can help me Thanks Lg Vaattaa

Moin moin, I would like to know your opinion, I was with the friendly yesterday and had to renew the control chain, I got into the conversation with him that the bmw is already very vulnerable. And yes, that’s it now, but then he meant that most bmw s1000RR’s from the construction year 2009 to 2011, no longer crack like 30000 km, after that is the end. Then the question arises to me whether all were on the run or in cold condition. Actually I would like to use the r bmw crack the 100000 t km -,- But in fact many sell the bmw under 30000 km. I would be interested in your opinion.

The following, my little nephew wanted to see my motorcycle, as enthusiastic as he was, I turned on the engine and zacked it at the gas grip. :@ The engine was of course freezing cold. I don’t know how high the speed range was now but it sounded high. Of course I turned off the engine immediately! Since I don’t know how well with the engine, I don’t know if the engine has taken damage due to felt 1-2 seconds of pulling the gas grip I hope I can find an answer here.

Hello, I am just before an order. It should be a Rninet in the normal equipment (no Pure, Scrambler etc.). Which equipment is a must have with her and which one can be dispensed with? Is my first BMW after long motorcycle abstinence. Thanks for your help
