Interesting. I didn't bother putting one on my K75 with a K1100 front end. I guess I'll install one the next time I have the tank off.

A recent example that this switch is a problem, and the ground wire is needed.

Replaced rear brake pads but it didn't go quite as easily as the manual described the job.

Noticed a couple items that were pretty faded and scratched up so I tried out some Blak Renew Protect for a quick solution until I can replace or paint them. Just a first coat but seems to have done a pretty good job. Says to do at least 2. Worked even better on my low seat rubber tank shroud(was really faded) and gas cap but didn't get shots of them.

replaced the missing windscreen lift motor.no factory overpricing for me ,used a bmw sunroof motor from e39 model 88 89ish, $20.last guy just threw motor out when system quit.connector is exact fit and pinout.found lift switch had broken wire and lift relays were corroded,cleaned terminals and applied dielectric grease to prevent further corrosion.you don't know how nice power is until it doesn't work.also got the radio code from motorwerks of barrington,nice people very helpful.one speaker was blown so off to autozone,a little trimming of a 4"cheapo and now I can listen to my old ted nugent tapes.AWESOME :loco:

Good find! Could you post a little more detailed report on that motor here, please?

Also a sunroof motor from a E34 fits.

sorry e34 is the correct sunroof motor 1988 to 1995,got my bmw's mixed up,EXACT FIT mounting location and connector and bolt pattern,just had to get 3 new bolts (5mm x.8 1.5 inch long) since originals were missing with motor

racinrich · « **Reply #509 on:** July 29, 2012, 10:27:53 AM »

I'm not smart enough to post a link to ebay just type in e34 sunroof motor and check out the pics,I got my original pic of missing motor on a salvage parts site for k bike then compared it to ebay pics :2thumbup:

Inge K. · « **Reply #510 on:** July 29, 2012, 11:15:31 AM »

E32 and E34 sedans using the same sunroof motor, which is a direct replacement.
E34 estate have a double sunroof, and other motors.

Final drive spline lube.

Hey, that wasn't so hard. Should have done it when I got the bike last year, 10k miles ago.

Here's what I found (after a little cleaning, but there really was not much lube in there unfortunately.)

How bad is it?

Rick G · « **Reply #512 on:** August 04, 2012, 12:08:43 AM »

The pinion shaft is useable in an emergency but the drive shaft is shagged. Send it off to Brunos for some repairs.
It is probably one hard start away from a complete failure.

Picked up parts from dealer.

Total retail just over 9 dollars including fees to Gov. Moonbeam.

Cost more to ship here that to mfg. the parts.

51252308126 protective hose (2ea.)

51252308123 clamp - No wait, that would be "klemme", it had to be shipped from the Fatherland.

Oil change, check FD and trans oil, minor clutch adjustment.

Riding to Vermont next week!

Learned to put a clutch assembly together in the proper order after having no clutch after I assembled the bike. Summer heat and Heinekens may have had something to do with the mishap. :loco:

First off,

Hello, I'm new here, Peter is my name, and I appreciate all of the information I have been able to learn.
I'm not new to BMW or the K.
When I returned to cycling years ago, I got an 1995 R100Mystic, moved into an 1150RT and then into the earliest KGT, a GREAT machine. Sold ALL to move into MV Agusta first with an F4 AGO, and now have a 2005 Tamburini with 13K, a BEAST.

Restored an R65LS a few years back, and then gave it to a friend who needed a smaller ride due to his age of 80. It will return to me someday, a beauty. Then bought a '75 R90S in beautiful condition and softly updated it to a fine running classic. Then, 3 weeks ago I rode my friends K75S and IMMEDIATELY, had to get one. I also abandoned my idea of getting a new Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak as unnecessary.

I searched every site and available K75 or K100 in the US. And then one found me...

A 1991 K75S marrakesh red, excellent condition with ONLY 8550 miles. Got it last evening, detailed it thru the night, and will now start routine maintenance including filters, fluids, sparks, tune and whatever else is needed.

Here is a picture BEFORE I started.

Will update asap.

Peter

Hello Peter,

Now that you own a "S", you can call yourself a "Brickhead". We will.

Here you will find most of what you are looking in the way of K bike info. I would suggest that you start with the "Lieberry". In there you will find a section for new brick owners. You will also find one member named "Frankenduck" can be an extreme help. Just don't talk to him about R series bikes.Boxers. He thinks a Boxer is a type of underwear:)
